  • By car

    You can reach Münster directly via the A1 and A43 speedways. Plan your route directly with Google Maps...

    You can park your car free of charge at P+R facilities and take the bus (subject to fare) to the conference venue. Buses leave the P+R facilities at the Weseler Straße Mobilstation stop, at Preußenstadion (Hammer Straße) and at Albersloher Weg for the old town at very short intervals every day all year round.

    An overview of paid parking opportunities is available here. PP Schlossplatz Nord and PP Schlossplatz Süd are closest to the conference venue.

Getting around in Münster

Participants of the MEM will receive a ticket for free use of the local public transport in Münster called the "Willkommen! Ticket". The ticket is valid during all days of MEM. You will receive your ticket upon arrival at the conference venue.

The closest bus stops to the conference venue are Landgericht, Schlossplatz, and Neutor. Bus schedules can be found on the website of the Stadtwerke Münster. There is also a mobile app which helps getting around in Münster: münster:app.

Another nice and practical way to get around in Münster is by bike. Münster has a well developed web of bike paths and the very flat landscape makes the bike a nice alternative to public transportation. There are two "Radstationen" in Münster (one directly in front of the main train station and one in the city center).
