Buying a Ticket

The airport is in zone 5 of Munich's public transport system (MVV/ MVG) and the Rachel Carson Center is located in the central zone (zone M).

We recommend to purchase a day ticket for the entire network (Tageskarte M-5). Alternatively, you can purchase a stripe ticket (Streifenkarte) and validate the first seven stripes, or a one-way ticket.

If you are staying in Munich for a month or longer and plan on using the public transport regularly, it might be worth consider buying the Deutschlandticket, which is valid for all regional means of transport throughout Germany. Find out more here. Please mind that this is an abo, which means you have to cancel it in time before it renews.

Travelling to the RCC

Inside the airport, follow the  signs to the S-Bahn station. There are two lines operating from the airport, the S8 and the S1. You can take either train, but S8 tends to be a bit faster to the RCC.

On the S-Bahn, travel to the stop “Marienplatz” in central Munich. At Marienplatz, you need to change onto the U-Bahn (subway) northbound to get to the stop “Giselastraße.” Follow the  signs from the platform. Both the U3 and the U6 travel to Giselastraße—just ensure that you are travelling in the direction of Münchener Freiheit.

Alighting at Giselastraße, follow signs to the exit “Georgenstraße.” On exiting the subway station, you will be on Leopoldstraße; the RCC is located just a few meters from the subway exit, house number 11a, on the fourth floor. Enter through the middle entrance; both side entrances on the front belong to Leo's Sports Club.
