Take the subway to ISPO Munich
The Messe München trade fair center has excellent links with Munich’s public transport system, being served directly by two U-Bahn stations–“Messestadt West” and “Messestadt Ost”. Both stations fall within the inner tariff zone of the Munich Transport and Traffic Association network (MVV). You will need to buy a ticket for one zone if you are traveling from the city center to the trade fair venue (e.g. from Hauptbahnhof). The MVV ticket is included in the ISPO Munich Ticket 2024.
Trains run on the U-Bahn line between 04:00 and 01:00 and leave every 5 minutes during peak times on working days.
ISPO Munich is held at the Messe München trade fair center, which is right next to the A94 freeway, just like the Internationales Congress Center München (ICM). You can get to both of these venues by taking either the exit for Feldkirchen-West (Exit 6) or for München-Riem (Exit 5). There is a traffic guidance system in place at the trade fair center, which regulates the flow of traffic and will direct you to the nearest available parking space.
Low emission zone and fine dust sticker
If you are traveling to us by car, please don’t forget that Munich city center is a low emission zone. This applies to the entire area within the “Mittlerer Ring,” which is a ring road around the city center. The “Mittlerer Ring” itself is deemed to be outside of the low emission zone. You may only enter the zone if you have a green emissions sticker, but you will know when you are approaching the area in question as it is signposted. You will not need to enter the low emission zone in order to drive to the Trade Fair Center Messe München.
If you are keen to explore the city before or after your visit to the trade fair or if you are planning to stay at a hotel in the center, you will need to display an emissions sticker. This is a requirement for all cars, buses, RVs, and trucks registered inside and outside of Germany that will be entering the low emission zone. Anyone who does not comply with this regulation will be charged a fine of EUR 80 and will have one penalty point recorded on the Flensburg database of traffic violators.
You can order the sticker conveniently on the Internet using the following links:
