Arrival by air

The South Bend Regional Airport is about 15 minutes by car from the Notre Dame
campus (flights should be booked to South Bend, Indiana). From the airport, go
east on Lincolnway West (left out of the airport) to downtown South Bend. Turn
left on Indiana 933 (Michigan Street) and proceed about two miles to Angela
Boulevard. Turn right onto Angela, and then turn left at the second stoplight
(Eddy Street). Follow signs to visitor parking-C lot.

Visitors also can fly to Chicago and drive or take a bus to Notre Dame. The
university is about two hours by car from Chicago’s O'Hare International
Airport and about 90 minutes from Midway International Airport. From O'Hare,
take I-190 east out of the airport, merge onto I-90 east (the Kennedy
Expressway) toward downtown Chicago and merge with I-94 south (the Dan Ryan
Expressway). Take the Skyway exit off the Dan Ryan and remain on I-90 to the
Indiana Toll Road, which merges with I-80. From the Illinois border, it is
about 75 miles to Exit 77 (the South Bend/Notre Dame exit).
