Arrival
Sunday is going to be the arrival day for most participants. You
will arrive at either the airport, the central bus station or the central
train station, so there are three routes you can take to the hostel
The4you, where you will stay from Sunday to Friday. The address
of the hostel is Hirtenstraße 18.
When you have arrived, look for some guys holding an EESTEC sign,
wearing an EESTEC-T-Shirt or traditional Bavarian clothes. Or just
some random drunks. Chances are, you will have found someone of
our LC, if not, you will probably still have some fun with whoever you
found ;)
If you don’t find anybody, contact :
Andreas
+49 151 55666599
Sebastian
+49 157 70476401
If you arrive by bus, ask the conductor or driver
of your bus to tell you one hour before you arrive
and call Andreas to tell your arrival time!
3
If you cannot contact anybody, here are the directions for the worst
case (and only for it!):
From the Airport:
We will most probably pick you up from the airport, so you don’t
have to worry about this. However should any problems arise
contact us immediately.
Move from the entry hall to the suburban train station, marked by a
big green “S”. This is called the “S-Bahn”. Buy a “Tagesticket” for the
“Gesamtnetz” which should be 11,70€. Now get into any S-Bahn, S1
or S8, and get out at the Hauptbahnhof, the Central Station. When
you get out of the train, go all the way up to the surface and then find
your way to the hostel, use the map below to find your way, the way
description from the Central Train Station might help.
From Central Train Station:
When you get out of the train, move to the main hall, the building with
the very high ceiling and the big boards with arrival and departure
dates are hung. Then turn to the left and walk out of the building next
to a food/drinks shop called Yormas. You should now be on the
Arnulfstraße. Cross the street at the pedestrian crossing and go into
the street in front of you - the Pfefferstraße.
4
At the end of the street, turn left into the street called Hirtenstraße.
Go straight passing by Lämmerstraße. Then you should be able to
see the hostel on your right. In the hostel lobby look for Andreas or
Sebastian who will tell you further instructions. If you can’t find them,
look for other LC Munich members or just wait a few minutes.

5
From the Central Bus Station:
When you get off the bus, find your way north towards the exit of the
station. When you get to the street turn right, you should be on the
Arnulfstraße. Move along this street until you see a big street on
your right called Seidlstraße – turn into it, try to stay on the right side
of the street. Go straight and turn right into the Hirtenstraße on your
right, you should be able to see the hostel right away on your left.

By car:
Since people will be arriving by car from different directions, it is hard
to give a detailed description. The most important thing you will have
to know is that you must not drive into the city without a green
pollution badge. It looks like this:
Picture: Green pollution badge
So if your car doesn’t have one of these, you may only drive up to
the Mittlerer Ring (the middle of three ring streets in Munich) and
then you will have to park your car somewhere around there and take
public transportation to get into the inner part of the city. The colored
part in the picture on the next page depicts the area where you may
not drive a car without a green pollution badge.
7
Parking inside of the Mittlerer Ring is charged, outside, usually
you can find many parking spots without any charge.
Take the suburban train or subway to Hauptbahnhof. From there,
you can follow the description above.

Telling a story about...?
Munich in Bavaria!
Welcome to Bavaria - the most beautiful state in Germany!
Bavaria is a synonym for ruggedly picturesque low mountain ranges
and majestic summits in the Alps. The most worldwide known castle
is located here: “Schloss Neuschwanstein”!
13
Lovely fluvial topography and
flashy swimming lakes, mystic
forests as well as sunny wine
yards - all of that is Bavaria.
Furthermore, one can find here
the highest mountain of Germany
– the Zugspitze (ca. 2900m).
Tradition
is
very
important
for
Bavarians. So is the future. The
people in Bavaria know that they are
living in one of Europe’s oldest
cultural landscapes with a history
stretching back over more than
fifteen centuries and at the same
time in one of the most modern
states
of
Europe.
In
Bavaria
tradition and the future go hand in
hand.
14
Bavaria is a way of life. Cheerful and relaxed, sometimes rather
obstinate, but never losing sight of
reality. Genuine conviviality and
unforced ‘Gemütlichkeit’ are among
the Bavarians’ virtues, as are liberalmindedness and tolerance. “Live
and let live” - that is what the much
praised ‘Liberalitas Bavarica’ means.
Perhaps life in Bavaria is a little
less hectic than elsewhere, but
people
here
perseverance
have
and
can
more
still
distinguish clearly between the
important things in life and the
really important things. Bavarians live
according to the principle: “Learn a
lot from other people, but do not
copy everything they do.” Maybe
that is why Bavaria has always
managed to keep up with the times
and nevertheless preserve its own
unmistakable identity.
15
Munich
Munich is the capital city of
Bavaria. It is located on the river
Isar, north of the Bavarian Alps.
With its 1.35 million inhabitants
Munich is the third largest city of
Germany. It is well-known for
international politics, technical and
cultural
conferences
and
competitions. For example it was
the host city of the 1972 Summer
Olympics.
Munich can be consistently found
in the top tiers of quali-ty-of-life-rankings of world cities. Monocle
magazine even named it the world’s most livable city in 2010. Munich
is often called the ‘City with a Heart’, and though a throbbing
cosmopolitan place it genuinely has a village feel and the people are
warm and friendly. It is also clean, safe and has a superb public
transport system.
16
VIL (Very Important Locations)
City Center (Marienplatz/ Isartor/ Karlsplatz/ Odeonsplatz)
The city center is made up largely of the Karlsplatz (also known as
"Stachus"), the pedestrian shopping zone that leads down to
Marienplatz and the surrounding area, which are the main tourist
hangouts. Most notable are of course the old city gates at Stachus,
Isartor and Sendlingertor (all located at Subway/Suburban train
stations). This is where the upscale shopping area around
Maximilianstrasse and numerous tourist attractions are located
including the new city hall (Neues Rathaus) with the world famous
Glockenspiel, the old city hall, the Feldherrenhalle, Residenz
(former residence of the Bavarian kings) and the world's most famous
beer hall, the Hofbräuhaus. Several historic churches such as the
Frauenkirche, Peterskirche and Theatinerkirche are
also located there and can be toured.
17
Deutsches Museum
The largest museum of technology and natural sciences in the world,
with over 13 acres of exhibitions containing priceless original
machines and equipment, models and reconstructions, from classical
mechanics to telecommunications.
18
Englischer Garten
One of the world's largest urban public parks with an area of 3.73km2,
stretching from the city center along the river Isar to the northeastern
city limits. The Englische Garten offers numerous leisure time
activities. Cyclists and joggers train on the 78-kilometer-long (48.5
miles) network of paths, and amateur soccer players meet on the
fields for recreational games. A beautiful vista of the city if offered by
the Monopteros, which was added to the park landscape along with
the hill in 1836. With 7,000 spots, the beer garden at the Chinese
Tower, is Munich’s second largest. At the weekend and on holidays
thousands of locals and tourists eat, drink and listen to traditional
music. The Eisbach wave is a worldrenowned hot spot for surfers and a
true
magnet
for
spectators.
19
The Olympic Park
It was opened on 8 May 1972 for the 1972 Summer Olympics and
continues to serve as a venue for cultural and social events. It
includes the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Hall and the Olympic
Tower. The Olympic Swim Hall is now open for the public. You’ll have
a beautiful view on the lake from the mountain, which was formed of
the rubble of the World Wars.
The BMW world located just next to the Subway station is Munich’s
most visited sight. It’s fantastic architecture with beautiful Bavarian
cars is a must see for every tourist.
20
Nymphenburg Castle
A Baroque palace, being modeled on castle Versailles. The palace
was the main summer residence of the rules of Bavaria of the
House of Wittelsbach.
Pinakotheken
Three completely different art museums
are forming the
Pinakotheken and covering all ages. On Sundays the entrance fee is
only 1 Euro. Together with the new Sammlung Brandhorst it is the
area has the highest art concentration in Munich.
21
Hofbräuhaus
The worldwide known traditional brewery, owned by the Bavarian
state government. The “Hof” (court) comes from the brewery's history
as a royal brewery in the Kingdom of Bavaria.
The brewery owns the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, the Hofbräukeller and
the second largest tent at the Oktoberfest (Hofbräu-Festzelt). Its own
brew is the only beer served. Furthermore, it is a great place to taste
Bavarian food. The Hofbräuhaus in Munich inspired the song "oans,
zwoa, g'suffa" (bavarian for: "one, two, drink").
22
For shopping …
…
Pedestrian
Marienplatz
and
zone
between
Karlsplatz
with
shops of most international brands,
souvenir shops and some local
brands
… Olympia-Einkaufzentrum - big

in
Germany. It starts at Max-JosephPlatz, where the residence and the
National Theatre are situated, and

Boarisch
Even if some of you may know how to speak
German, this will not help in Bavaria. You should
at least learn the following before you arrive:
25
Public Transport
Prices (e.g.):
• Day ticket (city area): 6.00 €
• 3-Day ticket (city area): 15,00 €
• Single ticket (one direction inside city area): 2.60 €
• Streifenkarte (5 x one direction inside city area): 12,50 €
The Streifenkarte is only for not buying every time you enter a subway
station, but when you do enter with a Streifenkarte, fold it that you can
stamp the SECOND stripe. So always leave one stripe blank and stamp
the next one. Only if you are taking only 2 subway stations, or you are
under 21yrs old, you can use one stripe.
The price policy of public transportation often seems to be complicated
to strangers, so please ask us for more information before using it by
yourself. Please keep in mind: if you’re getting controlled without a valid
ticket, you’ll have to pay a fee of 40 Euro!
