By car via Munich: Take the Autobahn in the direction of Garmisch. Take the “Starnberg” exit, follow the B-2 to Traubling, and take a left turn to Tutzing. The Akademie is on your left as you enter Tutzing. (Do not get “our” Akademie mixed up with the “Evangelische Akademie”!)

By train, take the S-Bahn S-6 or a regional train (RB) at Munich Hauptbahnhof  in the direction of Tutzing. Travel time is 28 to 46 minutes (the regional train is much faster). Trains run every 20 minutes. Attention: You must have a valid ticket (punched by the blue machine at the gate!) before boarding your train. From Tutzing station it's a 20 minute walk or a short taxi ride to the Akademie.

By air: From Munich airport you take the S-Bahn train to Hauptbahnhof in Munich and change to the S-6 line or RB train service to Tutzing (see above). Travel time from the airport is 90 minutes. (It is 77 km by car from Munich Airport to Tutzing. A taxi ride would be very expensive.)
