Travelling to/in Munich
During July you can use German public transport services via the 9-Euro-Ticket (https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/regional/9-euro-ticket-en). The 9-Euro-Ticket is valid on all public transport services in Germany on any local/regional route and you can make as many journeys as you like. We would recommend buying this ticket, e.g., for using public transportation during your stay in Munich (U-Bahn/S-Bahn, bus, tram). The ticket is not valid on long-distance trains (e.g. IC, EC or ICE) or long-distance buses. You can buy the ticket online, at any DB agency or at ticket machines at stations, for example.
In order to be able to settle your individual travel expenses, we ask you to keep the original documents (i.e., tickets, receipts, …) and send them to us after the meeting.
