Information for planning a campus tour
  • The North Campus of KIT can only be visited on the dates offered. Guided tours can be booked up to four weeks before the tour via the event calendar below.
  • Participants must not be younger than 16 years old.
  • Guided tours are only available in German or English.
  • Please note the specified number of people within the various tour packages. Larger groups must be requested separately.
  • Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the tours start at the Advanced Training Center for Technology and Environment (FTU), to the left in front of the main entrance. A campus guide will be waiting for the group there.
  • A bus equipped with a loudspeaker system is required for the tour of the campus. In exceptional cases, KIT can provide a company bus for groups that do not arrive with their own bus. The cost of the bus is EUR 100.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for interested individuals or small groups of less than seven people to make their own tours. However, you have the option of joining a group tour.
