Getting to Saarbrücken by car

Plan your route to Saarbrücken or directly to Campus.

Parking on Campus

If you arrive on Campus by car, use the parking deck "Universität Ost", which is closest to the computer science buildings (see Campus map; you want to park next to the letter E). Draw a normal parking ticket when entering, which we can then exchange for a 'get out of parking deck free' ticket.

Getting to Saarbrücken by plane

There are daily connections between Saarbrücken (IATA: SCN) and Berlin (Air Berlin, Luxair), Copenhagen (Air Berlin, via Berlin), Hamburg, Luxemburg, Munich (Luxair). Flight schedule
There is an hourly bus connection between the airport and the city centre. Getting to Campus will be significantly faster by taxi, though.

Bus connections to Campus

From Saarbrücken Central Station (B&B Hotel is behind station), take bus line 112 or 124 to the 'Universität Busterminal' stop. Timetables: PDF, Online
From central downtown 'Rathaus' stop (e.g. Hotel Madeleine), take bus line 101, 102, 109 or 111 to the 'Universität Busterminal' stop. Timetables: PDF, Online

The ticket price is 2.10 € for a single bus ride. Tickets can be bought from the driver. The 'Universität Busterminal' stop is reached once you have crossed the entire Campus, between a parking deck (right) and some construction sites (left). Get off, and walk back some 200 meters to the Campus. Right after the gate, the CS buildings are to your left (new) and right (older). The meeting takes place on the right, in E1 1 top floor, room 407.
