Travel

The city of Freising is located about 15 km north of Munich International Airport Franz-Josef Strauss (MUC). Munich Airport is the 7^th busiest in Europe and has international connections to most major cities in Europe and also sees a lot of intercontinental flights. There are regional trains and the regional bus 635 connecting the airport to the city.

Freising is part of Greater Munich's public transportation network MVV. Regional trains, S-Bahn, buses and Munich U-Bahn and tram are all part of the same ticketing network and system and you can transfer between all modes during the validity of your ticket.

Freising station is a major stop on the regional train line from Munich to Landshut and Regensburg. Virtually every train along that line stops in Freising, with the major benefit of a much faster speed compared to the S-Bahn. The suburban train (S-Bahn) S1 leaves Munich Central Station every 20 min and needs approx. 45 min to reach Freising. Be aware that the S1 train is split before it reaches Freising and one half is going to the airport, so make sure you are in the right part. If not, you can change to the right part of the train in Neufahrn.

Due to the relatively compact size of the city, Freising is easily navigable on foot, whereas parking is scarce and going by car therefore not a real option. For those refusing any exercise or physically unable to walk, the city provides a bus system, which is also part of Munich's fare system MVV. All bus lines start at Freising station. There are several bus lines to Weihenstephan (619, 637, 638, 639, 640, x660). The bus stop "Am Staudengarten" is just in front of the conference building.
