FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Tickets, programme, getting around — the questions we are asked most often.
How does it work?
Very simple: The Long Night Ticket grants admission to all participating exhibition venues for one adult with up to four children (ages 4–14) for the evening program. Additionally, the ticket serves as a transit pass for the MVG shuttle buses, which connect all participating venues across six routes. Line 90 and routes 91–94 run every 10 minutes from Odeonsplatz. Line 95 runs every 20 minutes in the northwest of Munich.
How do I get a ticket?
In advance, tickets are available for € 20 plus advance booking and system fees at all advance ticket outlets affiliated with München Ticket. They are also available online in the webshop at muenchenticket.de .
Tickets are also available in advance at most of the venues. On the day of the event, ticket sales start at Odeonsplatz at 1 pm, and in the participating venues starting at 6 pm. Tickets at the box office/evening ticket counter cost € 20.
What does a ticket include?
The ticket grants admission to all participating venues for one adult and up to four children (ages 4–14) for the evening program, as well as rides on the MVG shuttle buses, which connect all participating exhibition venues on six special tours. You can find the tours on our website starting September 8.
The ticket is valid for all events listed on this website.
Are discounted tickets available?
There are no discounts for retirees, students, or München Karte (Munich Card) holders.
An accompanying person for a severely disabled individual gets free admission if the official severe disability ID card contains the letter "B" and the note "Die Berechtigung zur Mitnahme einer Begleitperson ist nachgewiesen" (Authorization to take an accompanying person is proven). The accompanying person is admitted free of charge – but does not receive their own ticket!
Are the annual passes of the individual museums also valid during the Long Night?
No, the Long Night is an exclusive event, so unfortunately, annual museum passes are not valid on this evening.
Where can I get program booklets?
Program booklets are available at all advance ticket outlets affiliated with München Ticket, as well as in the participating exhibition venues – and they are still available there on the evening of the Long Night itself. In addition, the program booklets are available on the day of the event starting at 1 pm at the information and ticket tent on Odeonsplatz.
Starting September 8, you can also download the program booklet as a PDF here. Please note, however, that due to the uncertain planning situation at the editorial deadline, many contributions are only mentioned generally or not at all in the program booklet. Therefore, we strongly recommend taking a look at the current pages of the website as well.
How long does the Long Night of Munich Museums last?
It begins at 6 pm and ends at 1 am. In certain locations, the Long Night ends a little earlier. Program items under "City tours and behind the scenes" only take place at the specified time. In some venues, admission is only possible as part of a pre-booked guided tour.

How and how long can teenagers attend the Long Night?
The Youth Protection Act applies. This means that teenagers aged 16 and older may attend the event unaccompanied until midnight at the latest. For teens under 16 in general, or for 16- and 17-year-olds who want to stay past midnight, a parent, guardian, or authorized representative must assume supervisory duties. The supervisory duties should be clearly transferred by the parents for the event, ideally confirmed in writing and provided with a phone number where the parents can be reached. You can also get detailed information on the relevant website .

What does our poster motif represent?
A-Wagen (A-type tram) with a conductor in a historical uniform
The conductor in a historical uniform invites you to the Long Night – from the crown jewel of the MVG Museum, the A-Wagen. Starting in 1898, the A-series tram shaped the cityscape as the first electric generation. Although the first cars were retired as early as the late 1920s, the last ones remained in service until 1958. By the way: No. 256 still exists today – and is one of the many highlights in the MVG Museum and at the anniversary events for "150 Years of the Tram."
