Arriving by Train

Intercity trains, including the high-speed ICE service, will take you to Stuttgart’s main train station, from which a local train service will reach Tübingen in about an hour. The Max Planck Campus can be reached by taxi (~10 minutes) or by bus (~20 minutes) from Tübingen’s main train station. Both the bus station and the taxi service are located directly opposite to the main exit of Tübingen’s train station.

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 street called Spemannstraße. 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.
