Travel & logistics
Local currency · EUR
Arrival airports
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Munich Airport (Franz Josef Strauss)
The primary long-haul and European gateway for Munich and the natural arrival point for the 12-13 May 2027 European Liquid Gas Congress. Two S-Bahn lines run to Hauptbahnhof, and a taxi ranks outside both terminals. Allow extra time on weekday mornings
Approx. 35 km
to venue
Approx. 40-60 min by road, or S-Bahn S1/S8 to the city then U2 to Messestadt West
by car
Memmingen Airport
A secondary airport west of Munich used mainly by low-cost carriers. Useful if you find a direct flight to Allgäu, but the onward road or rail transfer makes it a weaker choice than MUC for a two-day congress
Approx. 115 km
to venue
Approx. 1 h 20 min - 1 h 40 min by road; bus and rail connections via Memmingen station take longer
by car
Nuremberg Airport
A practical alternative when MUC flights are unavailable or expensive: land at NUE, take the U-Bahn to Nuremberg Hbf and continue to Munich by train, then U2 to Messestadt West
Approx. 170 km
to venue
Approx. 1 h 45 min by road; Intercity-Express rail from Nuremberg Hbf to Munich Hbf takes around 1 h
by car
Hotel tiers
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
MEININGER Hotel München Olympiapark
budget
Olympiapark (north Munich)USD 95–122 / night
The Google Hotels capture for the congress dates showed this property about 18% below its usual rate, with paid breakfast, free Wi-Fi, paid parking and a bar. Budget chain format, good for a single traveller or a small team, with a U-Bahn ride to the Messe München grounds each morning. The capture surfaced the deal figure in INR, so confirm the final EUR rate at booking.
The 4You
budget-midscale
Munich, city sideUSD 135–172 / night
Surfaced in the same Google Hotels result set with a strong location rating and a paid-breakfast, free Wi-Fi, paid parking and restaurant setup. A reasonable middle option if you want to be inside the city rather than beside the trade fair district.
Leonardo Hotel & Residenz München
midscale
Munich, south-east city sideUSD 142–180 / night
The capture showed a 4.2 guest rating and about 35% below the usual rate for these dates, with paid breakfast, free Wi-Fi, parking, air conditioning, fitness centre and a restaurant; some rooms include a kitchen. Suited to delegates who want a longer stay or family travel around the congress.
Holiday Inn Munich - City Centre, an IHG Hotel
midscale
Munich city centre, near HauptbahnhofUSD 150–190 / night
Captured at a 4.2 guest rating and about 22% below its usual rate for the congress dates, with paid breakfast, free Wi-Fi, paid parking, air conditioning, fitness centre and restaurant. The strongest base for rail links: Hauptbahnhof is within walking distance and U2 runs direct to Messestadt West.
Courtyard by Marriott Munich City Center
upscale
Munich city centreUSD 158–210 / night
The upper tier in the captured set for these dates, with a central location and typical full-service business hotel amenities. Pick this if you are hosting supplier meetings in the lobby or want a quieter work space after the congress sessions; verify the live rate and availability before booking.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
S-Bahn (suburban rail)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMunich Airport (MUC) terminals to Munich Hauptbahnhof on S1 or S8
The default rail arrival for congress delegates. S1 runs via the western suburbs and S8 via the eastern side; both take around 40 minutes to Hauptbahnhof. Buy the correct MVV zone ticket before boarding and validate it on the platform.
U-Bahn (metro)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMunich Hauptbahnhof to Messestadt West for the Messe München grounds (line U2)
U2 runs east from the main station through the city to Messestadt West, with a short walk to the halls. Allow around 20-25 minutes from Hauptbahnhof plus walking time, and expect busy carriages in the morning peak on congress days.
MVV day ticket
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forUnlimited MVV travel within the inner area (Innenraum) for one day
Cost-effective if you make three or more journeys in a day, for example hotel to venue, an evening in the city centre and back. Group and multi-day versions exist; check the MVV fare calculator for the zone coverage you need.
Taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMunich Airport (MUC) to the Messe München trade fair district
Taxis rank outside both MUC terminals. The drive is typically 40-60 minutes outside peak hours and longer on weekday mornings; the fixed-price option is worth asking about if you are travelling in a group with luggage.
Taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMunich city centre (Hauptbahnhof or Altstadt) to the Messe München trade fair district
A short ride of roughly 20-30 minutes depending on traffic on the eastern ring. Practical for an evening return after sessions, when the U2 has thinned out.
Airport express bus
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMunich Airport (Franz Josef Strauss) (MUC) to MOC Event Center Messe München
A coach alternative to the S-Bahn with luggage space and a direct city-centre stop. Journey times vary with traffic, so do not rely on it for a tight connection to an opening session.
Car parking
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMesse München visitor car parks, Messestadt district
Multi-storey and open-air parking sits around the halls and is signed from the Mittlerer Ring. Spaces fill early on the first morning of a trade event, so aim to arrive well before the opening session and note where you parked.
Intercity rail (Deutsche Bahn)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forNuremberg Hbf to Munich Hbf, then U2 to Messestadt West
A sensible route if you fly into Nuremberg or combine the congress with meetings in northern Bavaria. High-speed trains take around an hour to Munich; add the U2 leg from Hauptbahnhof to the venue.
Weather
Mid-May is late spring in Munich: mild, changeable days with a real chance of showers and cool evenings. Climatological averages put daytime highs near 18-19 C and night-time lows near 8-9 C, with May one of the wetter months of the year (roughly 100-120 mm across the month). These are typical values, not a forecast - check a live outlook for 12-13 May 2027 in the days before departure and plan for one wet session on the walk between the U-Bahn and the halls.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Germany is inside the EU roaming framework, so travellers with an EU or EEA mobile contract can use their home allowance in Munich; visitors from outside the EU should check roaming charges or buy a local prepaid SIM from Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone or O2 shops in the city. 4G and 5G coverage is broad across central Munich and the Messe München district. Venue and hotel Wi-Fi is normally available but can be congested at a trade event, so download the congress schedule, badge QR codes and any large datasheets before you arrive, and carry a power bank for two full days of lead capture and messaging.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the congress
The European Liquid Gas Congress is an international industry meeting and English is the working language of sessions, exhibition stands and delegate conversations. German is useful outside the venue in taxis, restaurants and neighbourhood shops, but central Munich and the trade fair district manage comfortably in English.
Business etiquette
German and European LPG companies tend to run on punctual, agenda-driven meetings: arrive on time, keep the introduction short and come with technical datasheets or a specific commercial proposal. A handshake and the formal 'Herr' or 'Frau' plus surname is a safe opening until your counterpart switches to first names. Business dress for the congress is smart, with a jacket and no tie being normal for most delegates.
Money, tipping and payment
Germany uses the euro. Card payment is widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops, but a few smaller venues and bakeries still prefer cash. Restaurant bills usually include service; rounding up by around 5-10% is the common convention and is done by telling the server the total you want to pay when the bill arrives.
Sunday and public holiday rhythm
Sunday is a quiet day in Munich: most shops close, and many restaurants and cafes run reduced hours. Plan grocery runs, pharmacy purchases and shopping for Saturday. If you extend your stay around 12-13 May 2027, check whether any German public holiday falls in that week before assuming venues and offices are open.
Getting around town
Locals rely on the MVV network of S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram and bus, and tickets must be bought and validated before boarding. Escalator etiquette keeps the left side free for people walking, and bicycles use marked lanes that visitors often miss. Munich is a compact, safe city for an evening walk between hotel and restaurant, with the usual big-city care around Hauptbahnhof at night.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: MUC
Munich Airport (MUC) is the arrival point to book for the 12-13 May 2027 congress. The Google Flights captures for 12 May 2027 arrivals showed London Heathrow with three morning nonstops (06:55, 07:25 and 09:00), New York JFK with a nonstop Lufthansa/United service plus one-stop options via Frankfurt, Istanbul and Dublin, and long-haul Asia and Oceania routings needing at least one connection. Captured price insights indicated LHR-MUC fares about EUR 71 below their usual level and SYD-MUC about EUR 216 below, while NRT-MUC was flagged as high - treat these as directional signals, not quotes, and check live fares for your own dates. For a two-day congress, aim to land on 11 May or on the first morning of 12 May with at least three hours of buffer before the opening session, and book a departure after 17:00 on 13 May if you want the full second day. Fares captured include taxes and fees for one adult; bag fees and seat selection may be extra.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Munich Airport (Franz Josef Strauss) (MUC): Approx. 40-60 min by road, or S-Bahn S1/S8 to the city then U2 to Messestadt West; Memmingen Airport (FMM): Approx. 1 h 20 min - 1 h 40 min by road; bus and rail connections via Memmingen station take longer; Nuremberg Airport (NUE): Approx. 1 h 45 min by road; Intercity-Express rail from Nuremberg Hbf to Munich Hbf takes around 1 h. Allow road or rail time to MOC Event Center Messe München; on-site parking is usually available at maj
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near MOC Event Center Messe München: Olympiapark (north Munich): MEININGER Hotel München Olympiapark; Munich, city side: The 4You; Munich, south-east city side: Leonardo Hotel & Residenz München.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing works in Munich through apps such as FreeNow, Uber and Bolt, alongside the traditional taxi ranks outside Hauptbahnhof, the airport terminals and major hotels. Coverage is good in the city centre, Olympiapark and the Messe München district, but surge pricing can appear around large events and in heavy rain, so compare the app quote with a taxi rank if the wait is short. Drivers usually speak some English or German. For the 12-13 May 2027 congress, booking a car the evening before for an early session is safer than hailing at the last minute, and public transport remains the faster option on busy trade fair mornings. Confirm the app's local availability and payment setup before you travel.
Public transit: Munich's network is run under the MVV tariff and operated mainly by MVG, with S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram and bus lines sharing zone-based tickets: buy before boarding, validate at the platform validator, and keep the ticket until you exit. For the congress, U-Bahn line U2 is the workhorse to Messestadt West for the Messe München halls, while S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 link Munich Airport to Hauptbahnhof and the city centre. Tram and bus lines fill the gaps in the city centre and the eastern districts around Riem. Short trips in the inner zone are inexpensive, and a single-person day ticket pays off from about the third journey; multi-day and group tickets are also sold. Check the MVV zone map and fare calculator on mvv-muenchen.de for current single, day and weekly prices before travel, and allow extra time on weekday peaks.
Parking: Messe München operates multi-storey and open-air car parks and parking areas around the halls, accessed from the Mittlerer Ring and the Messestadt road network; tariffs are charged at the gate and are typically in the low double digits of euros per day, so confirm the current rate on the venue or organiser site rather than relying on last year's figure. Arrive well before the first morning session on 12 May 2027, because spaces nearest the entrances go first at a trade event. Blue-badge accessible spaces are available near the entrances; request one when booking if you need it. On-street parking in the surrounding neighbourhoods is metered or resident-permit only, so the venue car parks are the practical option for delegates driving in.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May 2027 (mid-May, Munich)
Temperature: Typical mid-May conditions in Munich: daytime highs around 18-19 C and night-time lows around 8-9 C, with occasional warmer afternoons near 24 C and cooler spells nearer 12 C. These are climatological averages rather than a forecast for 12-13 May 2027 - confirm the live outlook before you pack.
Seasonality: May is one of the wetter months in Munich, with roughly 100-120 mm spread over about 12-15 rain days, often as short afternoon or evening showers rather than all-day rain. Late spring also brings sharp swings: a sunny morning can turn overcast and cool by the time sessions end. Build a rain contingency into your transfer plans between hotel, U-Bahn and the Messe München halls, and check the live forecast for 12-13 May 2027 in the week before departure.
Packing: Pack for changeable late-spring weather rather than high summer: a light suit or smart layers for congress sessions, a water-resistant jacket or compact umbrella for the walk between the U-Bahn and the halls, and comfortable shoes for a trade fair day on concrete floors. Add a warm mid-layer for cool evenings and a small bag for datasheets and a power bank. Bring a European Type F plug adapter if you travel from outside the EU, and keep a digital copy of your registration and hotel booking in case of a wet, rushed arrival.

Answers
Frequently asked
What is the European Liquid Gas Congress and who is it for?
The European Liquid Gas Congress is the European meeting point of the LPG and renewable liquid gas value chain, organised around Liquid Gas Europe, the Brussels association of the LPG industry. Attendees are LPG distributors and marketers, terminal and shipping operators, cylinder and bulk equipment manufacturers, appliance and autogas suppliers, national association delegations, and energy policy stakeholders. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 12-13 May 2027 in Munich.
Is the European Liquid Gas Congress trade-only or can the public attend?
It is an industry event, not a consumer fair: the programme is built for companies and associations active in LPG, renewable liquid gas and adjacent energy markets. Registration routes, delegate categories and any partner or press arrangements are published by the organiser on europeanliquidgascongress.com. Check the current registration page before booking travel, and do not assume a walk-up ticket on the door.
Where exactly does the 2027 edition take place in Munich?
The 2027 congress is listed for Munich, Germany, on 12-13 May 2027. Munich's main trade fair district is the Messe München grounds in the east of the city, reachable by U-Bahn line U2 to Messestadt West. Confirm the exact hall and entrance in your registration confirmation or on the organiser website before you travel, because the venue details in third-party listings are not always kept current.
How do I get from Munich Airport to the congress venue?
Munich Airport (MUC) is the main gateway for the city. S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 run from the airport to Munich Hauptbahnhof and the city centre, from where U-Bahn line U2 continues east to Messestadt West for the Messe München grounds. A taxi from MUC to the trade fair district is the convenient option with luggage. Allow 45-60 minutes by road or rail and confirm live fares with MVV before buying tickets.
Which Munich districts work best as a hotel base for a two-day congress?
Three bases make sense. The city centre around Hauptbahnhof and Karlsplatz gives the fastest S-Bahn and U-Bahn connections and the widest restaurant choice. The eastern districts around Messestadt and Riem put you within walking or one-stop U-Bahn distance of the Messe München halls, which helps on early session mornings. Olympiapark in the north is quieter and cheaper but adds a U-Bahn transfer each day.
Do I need a visa to attend from outside the EU?
Germany is in the Schengen area, so visa rules depend on your nationality and residency. Many short-stay business visitors from outside the EU need a Schengen visa, while holders of a passport from an EU or Schengen country, or from a visa-exempt country, do not. Apply through the German mission responsible for your place of residence well ahead of the 12-13 May 2027 dates, and check whether the organiser issues invitation letters for visa files through the official registration channel.
What is the weather like in Munich in mid-May?
Mid-May in Munich is late spring: typically mild days and cool evenings, with frequent changes between sunshine and showers. Climatological averages suggest daytime highs near 18-19 C and night-time lows near 8-9 C, with May among the wetter months of the year. Treat these as typical values only and check a live forecast for 12-13 May 2027 in the week before departure.
What should I bring for two days of congress sessions and exhibition meetings?
Business dress is the norm for the congress programme, but Munich's May weather makes layering practical: a jacket, a compact umbrella or rain shell, and comfortable shoes for the S-Bahn and U-Bahn transfers and the walk across the trade fair grounds. Bring your registration confirmation, a photo ID, business cards, and a European plug adapter if you are travelling from outside the EU. Munich uses the euro, and card payment is widely accepted.
How do I keep up with programme changes before the event?
The organiser publishes schedule, speaker and registration information on europeanliquidgascongress.com, and delegates typically receive updates by email after registering. Because a two-day congress can shift session times and rooms at short notice, check the official schedule on the morning of each day rather than relying on a printed programme from an earlier edition.
Glossary
- LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)
- Propane, butane or a butane-propane mix kept liquid under moderate pressure or refrigeration. At the European Liquid Gas Congress the term covers the whole value chain on show: import and storage terminals, coasters and rail tank cars, road tankers, bulk tanks and cylinders, plus the appliances and burners that run on the gas.
- Autogas
- LPG used as a road fuel, retailed at filling stations for converted or factory bi-fuel petrol vehicles. Autogas is the largest single LPG outlet in several European markets and a recurring policy and refuelling-infrastructure topic in congress sessions and in the exhibition hall.
- BioLPG / renewable LPG
- LPG produced from renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil, waste fats and residues, chemically equivalent to fossil LPG and therefore drop-in for existing tanks, cylinders, trucks and autogas vehicles. Delegates use the term for the drop-in renewable molecule rather than for a separate fuel class.
- rDME (renewable dimethyl ether)
- A synthetic gas produced from renewable feedstocks that can be blended with LPG or used as a standalone fuel, and which is stored and handled with LPG-compatible equipment. It appears in congress discussion of decarbonisation pathways for off-grid heating, industry and transport.
- Liquid Gas Europe
- The Brussels-based European association of the LPG industry (formerly AEGPL), which represents national LPG associations and companies and is the body behind the European Liquid Gas Congress programme and policy positions.
- National LPG association
- Country-level member organisations such as the national gas or LPG federations that sit inside Liquid Gas Europe. They typically coordinate national pavilions, member delegations and market data presented at the congress.
- mCHP (micro combined heat and power)
- Small-scale gas engines that produce heat and electricity on site, frequently run on LPG where no gas grid exists. mCHP is one of the appliance categories discussed when the congress looks at off-grid residential and commercial heat.
- Off-grid heating and cooking
- Domestic and commercial energy supply where a mains gas network is absent, served by bulk LPG tanks, cylinder bundles or small distribution grids. This segment is a core demand story for the European LPG industry and a standard theme in congress sessions.
- Bulk tank and bulk distribution
- A permanently installed storage vessel at a customer site, refilled by a road tanker or 'bobtail' on a scheduled delivery round. Bulk distribution economics, tank telemetry and safety distances are standard agenda topics for distributors.
- Cylinder filling plant
- A facility that fills, inspects and requalifies refillable steel or composite cylinders for bottled gas distribution. Cylinder asset tracking and requalification cycles are recurring operational topics at the congress.
- Primary storage and import terminal
- Large refrigerated or pressurised storage at a port or refinery that receives seagoing LPG cargoes and feeds inland distribution. Terminal capacity, safety regulation and shipping availability are part of the supply discussion.
- Coaster, road tanker and rail tank car
- The three main inland LPG transport modes: small pressurised or semi-refrigerated sea and coastal vessels, road tankers for regional delivery, and rail tank cars for long-haul volumes. Modal shift and driver availability are recurring logistics themes.
- LPG as marine fuel
- LPG used for propulsion on ships, including dual-fuel engines and bunkering arrangements at ports. It appears in congress discussion of alternative marine fuels and of new demand outlets for LPG and renewable LPG blends.
- Refrigerated versus pressurised storage
- Two ways of keeping LPG liquid: fully refrigerated tanks at low temperature and near-atmospheric pressure, or pressurised spheres and bullets at ambient temperature. The choice drives terminal design, cost and the safety case discussed by operators.
- European Liquid Gas Congress (ELGC)
- The European meeting point of the LPG value chain, bringing together Liquid Gas Europe member associations, distributors, terminal and shipping operators, equipment and appliance manufacturers, and policy stakeholders for a two-day congress and exhibition; the 2027 edition is scheduled for 12-13 May 2027 in Munich.
