A method for locating a vehicle situated within a parking area using a plurality of WLAN base stations each including an antenna array, the vehicle including a communication interface for communication with the WLAN base stations via a wireless WLAN communication network. The method includes receiving, via the respective antenna array, a radio signal sent by the communication interface of the vehicle via the wireless communication network; ascertaining a respective angle of incidence of the respective received radio signal relative to a respective normal of the antenna array; ascertaining a signal intensity of the respective received radio signal; and carrying out a triangulation using the ascertained angles of incidence and the ascertained signal intensities in order to locate the vehicle within the parking area. A corresponding system, a parking area, and a computer program are also described.
