How do I get to the Munich Trade Fair Centre?
By underground, the fairgrounds can be reached in around 20 minutes from the city centre. On the U2 underground line, trains run from 5.30 a.m. to midnight at 10-minute and 5-minute intervals respectively – during bauma 2007 opening and closing hours at 3-minute intervals – directly to the New Munich Trade Fair Centre/ICM; the stops are “Messestadt West” and “Messestadt Ost.” From both stops, it is only a few metres to the entrances and the halls. During the trade fair, special bauma information stands will be available for visitors at Munich’s central station (Hauptbahnhof) and the airport.
Visitors coming by car are navigated by a dynamic traffic routing system to the trade fair and to the nearest vacant parking spaces on the fairgrounds. The New Munich Trade Fair Centre and the ICM are located directly on the A94 and can be reached via the exits Feldkirchen-West (exit no. 6), München-Riem (exit no. 5) and Moosfeld respectively (exit no. 4).
