If you travel to Karlsruhe by train, you will arrive at the main station in the city’s south. From here, you may choose between different means of transport to reach the IfR at the KIT’s Campus South.

• Karlsruhe has a sophisticated public transport network. All tram and bus lines are operated by the local traffic enterprise “KVV“ and can thus be used with the same ticket. Several tram lines depart from the main station‘s forecourt. Line 2 (blue sign, direction Wolfartsweier), line 3 (brown sign, direction Heide) and line S4 (red brown sign, direction Bretten/Gölshausen) head towards the KIT’s Campus South. To reach the Institute of Regional Science, choose either of these lines and exit at the station “Durlacher Tor“. The Institute of Regional Science is located in the multi-storey building west of the Durlacher Tor (building 10.50, Campus South).
• You can also take a taxi at the main station’s forecourt to reach the KIT’s Campus South.
• There are car rental agencies in the main station. If you want to access the KIT’s Campus South by car, please note that you will need a visitor's pass available at the main gate of Campus South.

Travelling by car, please take the motorway A5 and leave it at the slip road “Karlsruhe – Durlach“. Take the slip road in western direction, not in the direction of Durlach. Cross under the railroad bridge, pass along the EnBW headquarter on the right and follow the signs “KIT Campus South“. Turn right onto the “Adenauerring“. After about 200 metres, bend off left in western direction to the Campus South’s main gate. Pull in on the right side of the road and ask the gatekeeper to give you a visitor's pass required to access the Campus South by car.
