Getting around in MunichThe easiest ways to get around in Munich are by S-Bahn (local train) or underground or by tram. Information can be found on the public transportation website.A week ticket (IsarCard-Woche) costs EUR 12,10 for the innercity (2 rings). One can also buy tickets separate for each trip, or buy a so-called "Streifenkarte" (stripe ticket). The Streifenkarte contains 10 "Streifen" (stripes) and costs EUR 11,50. It can be bought at the vending machines (the blue button with the black stripes). One can stamp it in the tram or bus, or at the S-Bahn/underground stations. With two stripes, one can get to most places around the inner city of Munich. If you travel two stops or less by S-Bahn or underground or 4 stops or less by tram, it costs only one stripe. Day tickets (Single-Tageskarte) cost EUR 5,20 for the innercity ("Innenraum"). .

A single ticket (for 4 zones) costs EUR 9,60, and can be bought at the vending machines or at the desk near the escalators to the platform.From Central Station to TGCYou can either walk to the TGC location, or take the underground.
