Directions: Airport To City Centre with MVV Public Transport)
At airport, look for signs to S Bahn. Black "S", Green
circular background. S-Bahn ticket selling machines are near
escalator down to railway. Look for big block of about 4 + 4
blue machines each about 2.5 metres high by a metre wide.
Insert a 10 Euro note or 9.5 Euros of coins (>= 10 cent coins ) (allow for machine to be over sensitive as usual & reject some coins to the same place it also gives change to & prints ticket to. Buy either
Bus Service too I think, to Haupt- Bahn- Hof. Directions: City Centre To Me
I'd suggest get off S bahn @ Marien- Platz, (2 stops before
Haupt Bahn Hof if on S8 heading West ), & change to take
the U-Bahn (same ticket still valid), take U3 (Dark Orange on
map) or U6 (Dark Blue) South, Richtung (Direction) {
(U3) Furstenried West, or (U6) Klinikum Gross-Hadern } Trains
aren't labelled with compass direction, just names. Go just 1
stop. Out at Sendlinger Tor.
Or you can get U1 (Green), U2 (Red), U7 (Green + Red), or U8 (Red + Yellow) from Haupt Bahn Hof { also 1 stop to Sendlinger Tor. (if you overshoot 1 stop on U1,2,7, or 8 through to Fraunhofer- Str, no problem, it's about equidistant from Fraunhofer- to Holz- Str 27d.) } By Tram
Walk in same direction train was going, to end of platform,
It's a confusing rats nest underground, so best stay above
ground to avoid losing orientation, or take a compass. Then
either:
If it's a nice day & you'r not heavily laden you may prefer to walk to Sendlinger Tor:
If you get out of MVV U-Bahn at Sendlinger Tor (Reccomended)
This is a major rail & road intersection, with many
exits. You need to orient yourself: If the sun is out you
need to go South. If the Sun is not out, look for _the_ Tor.
Tor means gate in German. The Tor is not where you want to
go, but with a map it gives you your orientation. It's a big
old red brick structure set back beyond an open square on
which there are cafe tables in summer. "wo ist das Tor bitte
?" = "Where is the Tor please?". The Tor is North East of the
centre of the main road junction intersecting Sonnen Str
& Lindwurm Str. Now use your street map (that you printed
from this page), a compass/ the sun, & start by following
tram tracks South, (very slightly downhill) down Muller Str,
toward River Isar, then right into Pestalozzi or (less
efficiently) later right into Holz- Str. It's faster through
Pestalozzi & past Holz Platz (a small square, renamed
about 2000 or so, with permanently closed green/yellow (from
memory) small Gents urinal (permanently closed), because
Holz- Str at this point turns 90 degrees in a dog leg, so
staying on Muller- str until you pass Holz- str is not
shortest route. Past Holz Platz, Past Apotheke (=Chemist with
a big red "A) Past a few small shops, Past Tengelmann (food
shop).
At Holz- Str 27 d
In front of steel gate (GPS
co-ordinates) (large vehicle size), push 27d.
Find button on left, A block is marked "27d" Push STACEY;
Speak ! Identify yourself! Or be ignored ! It's a big
city, too many nutters walk by pushing bells at random,
&/or addicts wanting to buy
cigarettes from the machine on the wall inside the gate,
distribute freebie junk etc. Once in, keep veering
gently (not sharp) left. 2nd inner courtyard. 3rd staircase.
Push another bell, even if you see me through a window!
Without it I can't activate my door release. Walk left up
half a flight of stairs (Stupid architect ignored
disabled visitors & residents that occasionally get
ill). Top floor 3 in lift. Please do not arrive contaminating our
air with smoke & assorted tobacco poisonous trace
elements still on clothes & lungs. Start airing off
& reducing your poisons well away outside please, long
before arriving near the staircase !
If you get out of MVV U-Bahn at Fraunhofer- Str
This is a much smaller station, only 2 exits, one near river
bridge, one nearer town & me. If you prefer to avoid the
bigger underground maze, & human flotsam of Sendlinger
Tor, you may think orienting yourself from here may be
easier.
If you get out of MVV U-Bahn at Marien- Platz
Could also meet at Marien- Platz but further to walk, too far
with a 20/ 23+ Kg airline case. Marien- Platz meeting area is
smaller than Haupt Bahn Hof, & nicer, Conventional place
people meet is at [fish?] fountain (maybe known but
not signed as Marien- brunn ? Name not intuitive to non
Christian non German natives, so look for a statue in middle
of a small fountain) above ground, in near a corner
of the town hall, East of main entrance, (Right when looking
from square toward gates of Rathaus = town hall. Some limited
rain shelter is provided by town hall nearby.
Car Parking
Car park garage entrance (GPS
co-ordinates) is not on Holz- Str, but just round
corner from Holz- Str, South East, on Wester- Muhl- Strasse
1. Large high & double width aperture in wall sufficient
to take 2 {lorries/ trucks/ laster/ LKW} (wider than the
available street after cars parked both sides!). On North
East side of Wester- Muhl- Strasse, at North West end of
Wester- Muhl- Strasse. Garage has no public parking spaces,
all privately rented except for Tengelmann food shop customer
short term parking. No proof of being a customer required.
Open till 20:00. Don't feel guilty about a short stop, I buy
lots there, you could buy something too, it's their public
access requirement that has allowed vandals & thieves in
to my car's detriment at least twice over the years.
Occasionally they chain up their park area after 20:00.
Back To Airport
Remember Munich
airport now has 2 Terminals.
