## Parking at Harry Ransom Center on West 21st Street

Harry Ransom Center is at 300 West 21st Street in Austin, near University of Texas. The museum’s visit guidance points drivers to metered parking on Guadalupe Street, with parking free on Sundays (hrc.utexas.edu). The official UT building information identifies Conference Center Garage as the closest visitor parking option (utdirect.utexas.edu).

The site’s exhibitions are open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday through Sunday from noon to 5pm (hrc.utexas.edu). Visitors with disabilities can use accessible parking in area garages, while the center’s research information says accessible garage parking is available for a fee (hrc.utexas.edu).

## Guadalupe Street Parking and Busy Austin Visiting Times

Metered parking on Guadalupe Street is the principal street-parking choice identified for visitors, and the museum states that the meters are free on Sundays (hrc.utexas.edu). The Guadalupe Street option is close to the site at 300 West 21st Street, so it can suit a short museum visit when a space is available.

Tuesday through Friday visiting hours are 10am to 5pm (hrc.utexas.edu). Drivers arriving during those exhibition periods should expect demand around the museum and University of Texas area, particularly when a nearby garage is the more practical alternative to searching for a meter.

## Conference Center Garage and Other Visitor Parking Near HRC

Conference Center Garage is the named closest visitor parking facility for the site in UT’s building information (utdirect.utexas.edu). It is the clearest alternative when Guadalupe Street metered parking is unsuitable, including for visitors seeking garage access near 300 West 21st Street.

Metered parking on Guadalupe Street is also identified by the museum as free on Sundays (hrc.utexas.edu). The center’s research guidance says parking for people with disabilities is available in all garages for a fee (hrc.utexas.edu). These options give drivers a choice between street parking and a garage, while the Sunday Guadalupe Street rule can reduce the cost of a weekend visit.

The 28-minute walking time and 1.4-mile distance make the station a substantial final leg, while the museum itself remains in Austin near University of Texas.
