Travel Suggestions
By train
ICE, IC and EC trains go to Munich central station (Hauptbahnhof). From here take the subway
lines "U4" (direction - Arabellapark) or "U5" (direction - Neuperlach Süd) to Odeonsplatz.
Once above ground, walk through the arches into the Hofgarten. Hofgartenstraße is at the other end of
Hofgarten on the right. From Odeonsplatz, through the archway and straight ahead to Hofgartenstraße
(15 - 20 minutes).
By plane
Get on the "S1" or "S8" train at the underground stop at Franz-Josef-Strauß Airport and stay on until
Marienplatz. Change here and take the subway lines "U3" (direction - Olympiazentrum) or "U6"
(direction Garching-Hochbrück) to Odeonsplatz. The whole trip takes roughly 45 minutes.
By car
The Max Planck Society can be reached by taking any autobahn approach in the direction of
downtown Munich (Stadtmitte) until Altstadt-Ring (with the segments Oskar-von-Miller-Ring;
Von der Tann-Straße; Franz-Josef-Strauß-Ring; Karl-Scharnagl-Ring; Thomas-Wimmer-Ring;
Frauenstraße; Blumenstraße; Sonnenstraße; Lenbach- /Maximiliansplatz). Turn off
Thomas-Wimmer-Ring or Karl-Scharnagl-Ring onto Maximiliansstraße (in the direction of
downtown) and drive past the Four Seasons Hotel (Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten) on your right.
Take the second right to Alfons-Goppel-Straße. There are no parking possibilities on
the Hofgartenstraße.
