In general, we recommend booking your flight tickets and accommodation as early as possible since the workshop takes place shortly before Christmas.

You can reach the venue in various ways, but as Munich has an excellent public transportation system that consists of trains, subways, trams, and buses, we would recommend to make use of public transports. Most locations within the inner city can be conveniently reached within less than 30 minutes. 

• The underground station “Odeonsplatz” is located directly next to the venue and is frequented by underground lines U3, U4, U5 and U6.
• Tickets can be bought at automatic vending machines at underground and train stations or inside buses and trams.
• For specific information on public transportation schedules, please check at Munich’s public transporation company MVV, Google Maps or download the mobile journey planner of MVV.
