S-Ban to the Fest?

Do you guys usually take the S-Ban to the Fest or walk from the Alfa? And if you walk, how long does it take? Thanks...

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

The walk is about 15 mins, S-Bahn is a mass of humanity.

It usually depends on our mood.

I believe U-Bahn takes you right onto the grounds. from the Alfa we usually walk, about 15 minutes. However, if we are down by Marienplatz, we grab the S/U Bahn.

S-Bahn is "Suburban" trains that run through Munich. U-Bahn is Urban (only in the city, and Deeper than the S-Bahn).

It used to be that German Rail Passes worked on S-Bahn, but not U-Bahn. Wierd, as MVV runs both.
