By public transportation

While the mass transportation options to and from the airports are regrettably limited in this part of the Bay, the TakeTransit Trip Planner can help you find your way.

Arriving at the Googleplex

Our campus is fairly large, so make sure your host has informed you which building your event is being held in.

Upon arriving at the Google campus, please tell an attendant which event you are arriving for and who your host is, and they will direct you to the appropriate building and parking area. As a general rule, any aboveground parking that is not otherwise reserved is fair game for visitors.

After parking, please head to the reception desk in the event building to sign in and pickup your visitor badge. If your host has not yet arrived to meet you, the receptionist will be happy to give them a call.
