Directions / Maps / Parking

Please buy a parking permit - available in most campus lots and structures via machine. Park only in spaces that do not have a marked name on the cement slab at the head of the parking space (a slab with just a number is OK). Most parking on the streets surrounding Caltech is for two hours only (enforced!), so we recommend you find a day-long spot in any of the campus parking lots.

Restaurants

To help you at lunch time, we recommend the following on campus spots:

Cafe at Broad
Just east of the Broad building toward the north end, cash only.

Chandler
Student, staff, faculty dining hall, cash only.

Off campus, walking west along Del Mar will lead you to many spots along Lake Avenue (Abricot, Panda Express, Corner Bakery, Mediterranean Cafe, Pie'n Burger, Souplantation, etc.): Google Maps
