All Delegates will be able to travel for free on the S-Bahn (German train service) from Munich Airport to Munich City Centre and the U-Bahn (German underground service) throughout the Summit as well as other public transport (trams and busses). Please note FFP2-grade face masks are currently compulsory on public transport throughout Munich.

 

During the Summit Delegates will be within proximity of a U-Bahn station. Where the U-Bahn is not within walking distance (or a Delegate has accessibility requirements) Delegates will be allocated specific transport. Requests for accessibility support must be made in advance so transport can be reserved.

 

The Munich S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations do not have ticket barriers. Your Summit badge will act as your free permit to travel, for your arrival you will need to print an email that is sent to you or collect a permit to travel from the Audi Conference Centre at Munich Airport. Please ensure you always carry personal identification (passport, drivers license etc).

 

Hotels are all within a 20 minute walk from Olympiapark, and dinner venue 30 minutes on public transport, however if you have an accessibility requirement, transport will be supplied. You will be able to use the U-Bahn to access these locations. If this is not possible, alternative transport will be provided.

Munich airport

Delegates arriving into Munich airport will be able to take the S-Bahn (German train service) straight to Munich City Centre. A One Young World desk will be in the arrivals hall for any questions or help, before your onward travel, visit the One Young World team to collect a permit to travel for public transport, FFP2 face mask, and for some refreshments. You can use google maps to assist with your public transport journeys, and we recommend downloading the CityMapper app. Please note FFP2 face masks are compulsory on public transport throughout Munich. If you have a face mask exemption please ensure you carry a printed letter from a medical professional, in English.

 

If you are departing from Munich airport you can use the S-Bahn with your Summit Badge to return. Delegates will need to take the train back to the airport and head to the correct terminal from where they will be flying.

Other routes

If you are departing from a different airport or station you will need to make your own travel arrangements. Your Summit Badge will still be accepted on all U-Bahn and public transport services until the end of Monday 26 July.

One Young World is looking to implement all possible and necessary safety measures at the Summit. We will work closely with the Munich and Bavarian health advisors to ensure that we adhere to the correct measures that are applicable in July.

Below is a selection of helpful FAQ's to prepare you for the Summit that will be reviewed and subject to change on a monthly basis and on a daily basis from February 2021:

 

Q: Will travel restrictions apply?

We will of course abide by all relevant travel restrictions. We are unable to make specific comments about quarantine periods and similar measures at this time - we will update this guidance when we know more. For countries where travel restrictions still apply, the Summit will be live streamed on the One Young World virtual platform.

 

Q: Will social distancing be in effect?

Where required we will mark the safe spacing out around the venue. The Olympiahalle’s’s main arena can seat up to 15,500 people. Our event will be much smaller, so the arena is large enough to permit 2m social distancing of all attendees in all main sessions.

As the Summit will be taking place in July outside spaces around the park may also be potentially utilised for networking, workshop activities and catering.

 

Q: Will masks be required and sanitiser be provided?

Masks are currently a legal requirement for all public travel and in public spaces in Germany. All Delegates will be asked to wear a mask and additional masks will be supplied at the venue. Masks currently need to be FFP2 grade and cannot be homemade. Sanitiser stations will be set up around all our venues. We will continue to update these measures based on available evidence and applicable guidance.

 

Q: Will Covid testing take place in Munich?

Mandatory daily rapid testing will take place at the Summit hotels and at the Olympiapark each morning to reduce the risk of any unwell Delegates on site. We are still waiting on the regulations on testing for vaccinated Delegates from Germany. However One Young World may still require you to do a daily rapid test.

 

Q: If I get Covid/ have to isolate before the Summit and cannot attend in person, can I switch easily to digital or defer my place to 2022?
