UEFA EURO 2024 in Munich: Getting there - all information

Required document: Identity card or passport

Please always have your ID card or passport with you, e.g. for check-in at the hotel or for possible help with ticket problems at the stadium.

Required document: Passport, which must fulfill the following two criteria:

• Valid for at least 3 months after leaving the EU
• Issued within the last 10 years

Depending on the country of origin, a visa may be required to enter Germany. A list of countries requiring a visa can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.

There are several long-distance connections to and from Munich with the ICE high-speed train. These routes include stops in other UEFA EURO 2024 host cities:

• Hamburg - Berlin - Leipzig - Munich
• Dortmund - Cologne - Frankfurt - Munich
• Stuttgart - Munich

There are direct train connections to other countries between Munich and Paris, Budapest, Salzburg, Klagenfurt, Vienna, Bologna and Zurich, among others.

Munich's long-distance bus hub is the central bus station (ZOB) at Hackerbrücke in the immediate vicinity of Munich Central Station.

It is the starting point and destination for numerous long-distance coach connections to major German cities such as Berlin and Hamburg, as well as to other European destinations such as Innsbruck, Prague, Zurich and Zagreb.

Due to the expected increase in traffic on match days and the associated longer travel time, UEFA recommends using the train or long-distance bus instead of the car.

Munich International Airport “Franz Josef Strauß” is served by more than 140 destinations from Europe and all over the world. The airport is located just under 30 kilometers northeast of Munich.

The transfer from the airport to Munich and back is possible with the S-Bahn lines S1 and S8. The journey from the airport to Marienplatz in the city center takes around 40 to 45 minutes. For local MVV (Münchner Verkehrs-Verbund) tickets on the route from Munich Airport to the main railway station, you must purchase zone M to 5.

Local and long-distance buses and the Lufthansa shuttle bus are also available for transfers between the airport and the city center.

For transfers by cab from the airport to the main railway station, a fixed price of 101 euros applies in both directions. Alternatively, a price per kilometer and taximeter can be selected.

The U6 subway line takes around 20 minutes from Marienplatz in Munich's city center to Fröttmaning station, where the Munich Arena is located, with several stops in between. From there, the stadium can be easily reached on foot via the Esplanade.

UEFA advises against traveling to the stadium by car. Those who do travel to the stadium by car must book a parking permit in advance to use the parking garages available at the stadium at a price of 24 euros per match. As the number of parking spaces at the stadium is limited, early booking of parking permits is recommended.

Vehicles without prior registration will be turned away on the day of the match. Parking permits will not be sold at the stadium.

Separate parking spaces will be provided for fans with wheelchair and Easy Access tickets.

The soccer arena can be easily reached by bike from the city center via the Isar cycle path ("Isar-Radweg") across the English Garden. Also from the north from or via Freising.

European Championship ticket holders benefit from a free 36-hour ticket for Munich's public transport network MVV. This includes travel on the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, streetcars and buses.

But even without a ticket for a European Championship match, public transport is the cheapest and most sustainable way to travel quickly and comfortably throughout Munich and the surrounding area.

The zones you pass through during your journey are decisive for the cost of travel. An overview of the zones can be found here. The Deutschlandticket covers all zones of the MVV network.

Tickets can be purchased via the MVV or MVG apps and websites. There are also ticket machines at numerous stations and in buses and streetcars.

Please note: Paper tickets must be validated at the relevant machines at S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations and on streetcars and buses before you start your journey.

With its pedestrian zone in the city center as well as numerous green spaces and parks such as the Olympic Park, English Garden or Hofgarten, Munich is predestined for beautiful walks to explore the city.

Munich has an extensive network of cycle paths. In addition, around 4,200 rental bikes are available at bike stations throughout the city.

The more than 3,300 official cabs can be recognized by their “Taxi” sign on the roof and a serial number on the rear window. A fixed price can be agreed for cab journeys on popular routes such as to the airport when booking by phone or app. Otherwise, the fare is based on the number of kilometers using a taximeter.

There are several e-scooter providers in Munich. It may be forbidden to park e-scooters around the stadium and in the Fan Zone. E-scooters should therefore not be used to get to the match, public viewing or concerts in the Olympic Park.
