MVGO – The smart mobility app for Munich
If you want to get around Munich during the congress with ease, the MVGO app is the perfect companion. It brings together all essential mobility services in a single application: from purchasing MVV mobile tickets and real-time route planning to using sharing options such as e-scooters and rental bikes. Whether you want to quickly reach the next subway station, find a connection to the venue, or spontaneously use an e-bike – with MVGO, everything is right at your fingertips on your smartphone.
Especially convenient: the app not only shows current departure times and possible delays but also allows you to purchase tickets directly. Those who prefer flexibility can easily locate and book available e-scooters, MVG bikes, or e-bikes using the integrated map. Charging stations are also displayed for participants arriving with their own electric car.
Thanks to the central M-Login, you only need to register once to access all services – quickly, securely, and clearly arranged. MVGO is therefore highly recommended for all congress participants who want to move comfortably and flexibly through Munich – without switching apps, without paper tickets, and without detours.
HandyParken München – Simple, flexible, and cashless parking
For all congress participants arriving by car, the HandyParken Munich app is a real advantage. It saves you the hassle of searching for coins and parking machines – instead, you can conveniently purchase your parking ticket via smartphone. Whether you want to park for a fixed period (“FixParken”) or flexibly start and end your parking time to the minute (“FlexParken”): you always pay exactly for the time you use – not a minute more.
Operation is extremely simple: download the app, register with your M-Login, enter your license plate number – done. Then confirm your parking location, select your payment method, and start or stop your parking session directly in the app.
Another plus: the app automatically saves your vehicle’s location on the integrated map. This way, you can easily find your car later – even on unfamiliar streets. In addition, you’ll receive reminders before your ticket expires and can extend it on the go – without having to return to your car.
Especially convenient: usage is completely free of charge. No additional fees apply.
