Vehicular Access

Vehicular access to the Garden Tomb is not very easy, especially for those unfamiliar with the area. Changes to the traffic system in the immediate vicinity happen frequently! Many roads are one-way and/or are for public transport only. If you come by private vehicle, we strongly recommend that you park elsewhere and walk the remaining distance to the Garden Tomb.
