Depending on your traveling route, you will reach Karlsruhe either via Motorway A5 coming from North/South (Frankfurt / Heidelberg and Basel / Freiburg), Motorway A8 (Munich and Stuttgart) or Motorway A61 (Cologne and Koblenz). The main entrance is located at the Adenauer-Ring (near Durlacher Tor). We recommend to use an updated navigation system, since there are a lot of road works and construction areas in Karlsruhe.

Visitors must use the main campus entrance. At the reception (in the building to the right of the barrier) you will receive an entry permit. The west entrance is reserved for staff with a code card. Parking places are scarce.
