Getting to MPE
By train
Trains to Munich usually stop at Munich central station (Hauptbahnhof) or Ostbahnhof. From there you can get to MPE via public transport:
1) take any S-Bahn to Marienplatz (city center)
2) change to U-Bahn (subway) line U6 in the direction of Garching-Forschungszentrum
3) get off at the final stop and exit the subway towards the south following the directions to "MPA, MPE, MPQ, ESO".
The trip from Marienplatz to Garching Forschungszentrum takes approx. 25 minutes
By plane
The closest airport is Munich Airport (MUC), located about 30 km north of Munich and about 15 km north of the Garching. From there you can get to MPE via:
Taxi:
Taxi stops can be located outside both terminals (ground level); costs are about 40-65€; duration depends on traffic and ranges from 15 to 30 minutes.
Public transport:
1) take S-Bahn S8 direction Nannhofen (Munich)
2) leave at the third stop: "Ismaning"
3) take Bus no. 230 to Garching, Technische Universität (runs every 20-40 minutes most of the workday)
4) get off at the stop "Garching Forschungsentrum".
On weekends, holidays, or late in the evening, it is more convenient to stay in the S-Bahn until downtown Marienplatz and then use the U-Bahn U6 (see description above).
By car
From any direction you come by car, you reach our institute best by the motorway Munich-Nürnberg (A 9)
1) leave at exit "Garching Nord",
2) follow signs "Forschungsinstitute"
3) after 200 m you'll cross the state route B11 to Garching. Drive straight on; there will be white road signs for Forschungsinstitute.
4) after another 500 m, the road turns left sharply. The entrance to MPE is located on the right some 50 m after the curve.
5) The first building you can see on your right is MPE. There are two parking lots: one in front of the main entrance of MPE (next to the Max Planck Institute for Physics) and a second one 50 m ahead (after the building of the IPP canteen).
