How to reach Bayreuth by car

Bayreuth is located in the northern part of Bavaria at the motorway A9, approximately 100 km northeast of Nuremberg (Nürnberg).

From the highway A9 take the exit "Bayreuth Süd" and follow the signs to "Universität" (see the map with the highway A9 and the map with the highway exit and the entry point for cars). After approx. 700 m in straight direction you turn to the right for the road "Universitätsstraße". Turn left at the traffic lights and enter the main access of the University of Bayreuth (in total about 1 km from the motorway exit).
The motorway exit "Bayreuth Süd" ([Bayreuth South]) is marked in the middle image as "BT-Süd".

Parking Lots

The parking lots "Parkplatz P3 - BGI" (P3) or "Parkplatz P4 - NW 2" (P4) are the closest to the building "Naturwissenschaften II" (NW 2) of the Department of Mathematics.
