Arriving by plane

The nearest airport is Stuttgart. After arriving you can take the bus, which will take you directly to the main station in Tübingen with a journey time of about one hour. You can also take a taxi. The taxi ride only takes 30 to 40 minutes and will cost approx. 50 € Euro. If you like to book a MiniCar (taxi) in advance, call +49 (0)7071-93500.

Arriving by plane

Stuttgart´s airport isn´t far. From there take the S2 (direction Schorndorf) or S3 (direction Backnang) to Vaihingen. Take the Bus line 81 in the direction to Büsnau. After 10 minutes you´ll reach the “Max Planck Institutes” bus stop. Cross the street and walk up Heisenbergstrasse. First comes the MPI for Solid State Research building. Continue another 100m up the road and you´ll reach the main entrance of the MPI for Intelligent Systems.

Arriving by train

Intercity trains, including the high-speed ICE service, will bring you to Stuttgart main station, from where a local train takes about an hour to reach Tübingen. From here the Max Planck Campus can be reached by taxi (10 minutes) or bus (20 to 30 minutes including walking and waiting times). The bus station and taxi rank are both directly opposite the main exit from Tübingen station.

Arriving by train

ICE, IC and EC trains go to Stuttgart central station (Hauptbahnhof). From here take the S-Bahn S1 (direction Herrenberg), S2 (direction Filderstadt) or S3 (direction Flughafen/Messe) to “Universität”. From there it’s a short 3 minute walk to the bus station where the 84 or 92 will take you to the “Max Planck Institutes” bus stop. Once you reach there, cross the street and walk up Heisenbergstrasse. First comes the MPI for Solid State Research building. Continue another 100m up the road and you´ll reach the main entrance of the MPI for Intelligent Systems.

Arriving by bus

Starting at the main station in Tübingen with bus no. 3 in the direction of “Ulmenweg” to the bus stop "Max Planck Institute" it takes about 15 minutes to reach the campus. From the bus stop you need to walk about 100 meters downhill and then pass the central parking lot to the right and follow the stairways down to the Max Planck Campus.

Alternatively, you can take bus no. 4 in the direction of “WHO Ulmenweg” until you reach the bus stop “Corrensstraße” or "Niethammerstraße". Across the road from this bus stop, a flight of steps leads uphill through some trees. Follow these steps until you reach the Max-Planck-Ring. Take care in winter as the steps are not cleared. The Max Planck Campus lies to your right-hand side. In both cases you have about a 5- to 10-minute walk from the bus stop to the campus.
