Interesting facts about Munich:
The trade fair city

Do you associate more with the Bavarian capital than just Oktoberfest? We recognize that Munich serves as more than just a backdrop for numerous trade fairs. The city captivates with its blend of historic charm and modern architecture—from the iconic Marienplatz to the New Town Hall. The English Garden also provides a lush oasis in the midst of this bustling metropolis.

No traveler will feel left out here. Automobile enthusiasts are drawn to BMW Welt, which features both historic and futuristic models. Art lovers and gourmets will find their niches at Viktualienmarkt and the Alte Pinakothek art gallery. Additionally, the Munich Residenz and the world-famous Hofbräuhaus complement the wide range of attractions available. We are eager to assist you in planning your itinerary around your trade fair visit. Feel free to contact us.

Are you planning a stay at the Munich trade fair and still need a few insider tips? One of the things you should not miss if you want to experience Munich properly is a climb up the top of St. Peter’s Church. You will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view. But a walk across the Viktualienmarkt is also worth a visit. The colourful market has some regional delicacies to offer. For pleasure seekers and those who love tradition, a detour to one of the centrally located beer gardens is definitely a must. In addition to these attractions, Eisbachwelle is one of Munich’s hotspots. On the bridge next to the Haus der Kunst you can watch the surfers putting on a great spectacle – even in winter.
At the end of the day at the trade fair, it is usually common to relax. This includes going to the restaurant. If you want to relax from the stress of the trade fair, there is something for everyone’s taste in the Bavarian metropolis.

We can recommend both traditional cuisine and modern gastronomy. The breweries in Munich in particular provide an authentic atmosphere. Number 1 is the Hofbräuhaus Munich, where you enjoy live music. And of course there is no shortage of delicious pretzels and beer.

Local specialties are on the menu in inns such as DER BIERMANN (only 800 metres from the exhibition centre) or the Truderinger Wirtshaus at Kirchtruderinger Straße 17. And if you want to be pampered in a particularly stylish way, you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth in the Bauer restaurant on Münchner Straße 6.

Can’t decide? Our experts will be happy to help you choose the right venue. Also read our article on the best restaurants in the trade fair city of Munich.

You need less than 30 minutes from the main train station to the exhibition centre. This is because the underground stops Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost of the U2 line are right on the exhibition grounds. There is no need to change trains. As a rule, the underground line U2 runs every 5 minutes.

Coming from Munich, you can also take the S-Bahn line 2 to the Riem stop. Then take the number 190 bus in the direction of Messestadt Ost. The final stop for the west entrance is “Am Messesee” and the stop for the east entrance is “Messestadt Ost”. Important note: The Print@home ticket to the trade fair does not include free use of public transport.
