The Museum is located in the centre of Munich. We therefore recommend travelling to the Museumsinsel by public transport: the closest S-Bahn station is Isartor, and the closest U-Bahn station is Fraunhoferstraße, both of which are an approximately 5-minute walk from the Museum. The Museum entrance is located beside the Corneliusbrücke bridge.
