Transportation and how to get to ESO; Map of Garching |
The international airport of Munich (München) is located some 20 km north of Garching. From the airport, you can choose between the S-Bahn+Bus or taxi to go to your hotel. A taxi (recommended) to a hotel in Garching will cost you approx 30€. If you arrive by train at the Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof), you can reach Garching by taking the S-Bahn to Marienplatz, then U-Bahn U6 to Garching-Hochbrück (see map below for connections), then bus 291 to Garching. Ismaning has a direct S-Bahn connection (S 8) from the airport and the Hauptbahnhof. On the weekends there is no public transportation to the Garching Campus. If you don't have your own car or a rental-car (or a lift) you can walk from Garching-center to ESO-headquarters. ESO will in addition provide some transportation by a micro-bus. Otherwise for details on public transportation we recommend this link. |

Geographical Location |
Munich is located in southern Germany. The ESO Headquarters are situated on the institute campus just north of the town of Garching, which is itself about 20 km north of Munich (overview map; map of Garching). Munich offers excellent public transport. Garching can be reached by bus in combination with U-Bahn (underground) or S-Bahn (commuter train). |
Public Transport |
Warning: Due to two major construction efforts in the area, the connection of Garching to the subway network of Munich and the erection of a new stadium for the 2006 Football World Cup, the subway traffic is severely disrupted and also the bus connections are affected. Schedules are changing on short notice. However, this does not affect the bus-schedule within Garching. Please note that it is no problem to bring a car to the
workshop venue be. Because of the above mentioned ongoing
construction work access to the parking space of ESO is a bit
different, but still easy. More travel instructions can be found on the ESO Travel and Local Information pages. Moreover we recommend to consult the electronic time tables of the Munich tranportation network, MVV, and of the German Railways. |
Lunch |
As the canteen is closed there will be a buffet lunch and a Pizza lunch organized by ESO for the participants, |
Bank service |
There are banks and cash-points in Garching. All main credit and debit cards are accepted (with PIN code). Please note that the banks may close during lunch time and have otherwise opening hours grossly different from shops. |

Weather |
Munich daytime temperatures in February are somewhat unpredictable. It can be foggy, wet, cold and even slushy, in other words real ugly. Frost is not uncommon. But there may be also "Föhn" and things look very different: excellent sunny and warm weather, typically in the range 15-20 C, in other words are fore-taste of spring. For more information, see the Yahoo Munich weather forecast or WeatherOnline. Live weather data for Munich as well as Garching are also available online. |
