Travelling by car

Due to the traffic and parking situation near the campus, we do not particularly recommend driving to the TUM. There are no visitors' parking lots at the main campus. Should you nevertheless decide to travel by car, please bear in mind that you need about 1 hour to travel from the outskirts of the city to the town centre during the rush hour.
