The main road to enter the area is the Pasupati overpass that runs from the Pasteur toll gate in the west (Northwest Bandung) via the Dago area towards East Bandung. The main north-south thoroughfare is Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, generally known as Jalan Dago (Dago Road), that runs from Central Bandung all the way to the mountains in the north. Jalan Dago is often severely congested during weekends and holidays, when many people from Greater Jakarta visit the area.

To get to North Bandung by public transport, you can take a bus or angkot (public minivan). Angkots follow a fixed route (there are various routes throughout the city), but there is no fixed schedule and there are no fixed stops. To get on, simply raise your hand. To get off, shout "Kiri!" to the driver, so he will pull over on the left (Indonesian: kiri) side of the road. The price of an angkot ride within the city is usually about Rp2,000 to 5,000. It is best to ask a local which angkot route to take, and how to recognise the location you want to get off.
The main angkot terminal in North Bandung is 1 Terminal Dago, with four routes terminating here. Line 2 (coloured green and orange) runs to Dago from the Kebon Kalapa terminal in Central Bandung, and line 9 (green-orange-green) from Bandung's main railway station (Stasiun Hall), also in Central Bandung. Two other routes run to Terminal Dago from South Bandung.
