The city train station is located directly below the central area of the Munich airport. From there, a train departs for the city centre every 10 minutes. There are various routes to choose from to travel between the airport and the exhibition grounds.

A one-way trip takes approx. 45 minutes. The ride costs are € 8.00 one-way or € 13.50 round trip. You can buy the tickets in advance or at the bus driver (in cash only, the currency is Euro).
