Taking the coach to Oktoberfest

Taking the coach to Oktoberfest: important information

Applies to coaches: Roads are closed around the Theresienwiese during Oktoberfest. Within the closure zone, the police do not allow any busses. Therefore you are strongly advised not to drive directly to Theresienwiese. Embarkation and disembarkation of passengers is only possible at certain designated parking lots. Please also note that Munich is an eco-zone. The area within the Mittlerer Ring beltway (this is excluded from the closure zone) can only be driven in by vehicles with a green emissions-control windshield sticker. More information can be found in the bus flyer published by the Munich city authorities (updated 2018).

There are approximately 50 further bus parking spots at Parkplatz P4 in Fröttmaning (Parkplatz Mitte, north of the stadium) – except on FC Bayern home game days when these parking spots are not available for Oktoberfest busses.
