Munich Security Conference Turns City Centre Into High-Security Zone, Disrupting Travel
A 5,000-strong security operation for the Munich Security Conference has brought city-centre road closures, a drone no-fly zone, diverted private jets and rerouted public transport. Businesses moving staff through Munich until 16 February should expect significant delays, carry ID at all times and, where feasible, switch to underground rail. The scale of restrictions highlights how major diplomatic events in Germany are now treated as full-spectrum security operations with wide-ranging mobility implications.
