Parking is free on campus on the weekends (except in spaces marked for 24 hour use, or otherwise restricted). A parking
permit is needed to park during the week, or one can park at a meter or in some spaces with a visitor pay-and-display permit
bought from a machine. The closest parking lots to the Natural Sciences Building with meters or visitor-pay-and-display
machines are P103, P106, P208, P303. A map of the parking lots is available here.
The Natural Sciences Building is at the intersection of Scholars Drive S and La Jolla Shores Drive, but there is only
disabled person parking beside the building. The exact address is 2 Scholars Drive South.
Those staying at nearby hotels are encouraged
to walk to campus on Friday, if possible, or take a taxi or Uber/Lyft etc., as finding parking can be a difficult task during the middle of a weekday.

The closest airport to UC San Diego is the San Diego International airport. It is a major airport serviced mainly by U.S. carriers.
There are very few direct international flights to San Diego.
If you are traveling from abroad,
many U.S. carriers have connections to San Diego through cities
on the East Coast, mid West or through Los Angeles International airport (LAX).
It is also possible to fly to LAX and rent a car. It usually takes 2-3 hours to drive
from LAX to UC San Diego, depending on traffic.
From San Diego airport, one can catch a shared shuttle (about US$20-30 per person) or a taxi (about US$45-60 before tip)
to UC San Diego or nearby hotels.
