ICE, IC and EC trains go to Munich central station (Hauptbahnhof). From here take the subway lines "U4" (direction - Arabellapark) or "U5" (direction - Neuperlach Süd) to Odeonsplatz. Once above ground, walk through the arches into the Hofgarten. Hofgartenstraße is at the other end of Hofgarten on the right. From Odeonsplatz, through the archway and straight ahead to Hofgartenstraße (15 - 20 minutes).
