 		  TRAVEL INFORMATION			
 						
*********************************************************

Munich offers good access by air, rail, and road. The new Munich  
International Airport has frequent flights to and from most major cities. By  
rail, the city offers easy access to the major European centers.

The area of Munich is well served by the "S-Bahn" and the city by  
underground. There are single tickets (to be bought for each trip) or stripe  
cards ("Streifenkarte") which are relatively cheaper when used for several  
trips. Using a stripe card one has to cancel two stripes for any trip within  
Munich-City and eight stripes for one trip from Munich airport to the city  
(or conversely).

HOW TO REACH THE CONFERENCE SITE AND THE HOTELS:

If you arrive at the airport
then take the S-Bahn no. 8 to Munich-City.

If you arrive at the central station
then take an arbitrary S-Bahn that goes into the direction of  
"Marienplatz-Ostbahnhof".

Then, in any case, proceed as follows:

To the conference building:

	Leave the S-Bahn at "Isartor";
	Change to tramway no. 17 (direction "Effnerplatz");
	Get out at "Tivolistrasse";
	Then the conference building (Oettingenstrasse 67) is
	on the other side of the street;
	Conference room = no. 114.
	Note: The conference building is known to many
	people in Munich as the previous "Radio Free Europe"
	building. This may be helpful if you have any trouble.

To guest houses Excelsior and Steinberg
and to Hotel Cosmopolitan:

	Leave the S-Bahn at "Marienplatz";
	Change to the underground no. U3 or no. U6
	(direction "M"unchner Freiheit");
	Get out at "Giselastrasse".

To Hotel Lettl:

	Leave the S-Bahn at "Marienplatz";
	Change to the underground no. U3 or U6
	(direction "M"unchner Freiheit");
	Get out at "Universit"at", exit "Schellingstrasse".

To Hotel Ariston:

	Leave the S-Bahn at "Isartor";
	Change to tramway no. 17 (direction "Effnerplatz");
	Get out at "Nationalmuseum/Haus der Kunst";

	(If you are arrived at the central station then it's better
	to choose directly the underground no. U4
	(direction "Arabellapark") or U5 (direction
	"Neuperlach S"ud"). Leave the underground at "Lehel".)

To M"unchen Park Hilton:

	It's the best to choose a Taxi at some place in Munich-City.
	Alternatively, you can first to go to the conference building
	and then walk to the hotel (5-10 min.).
