The garden works best as part of a walking route rather than as a remote standalone destination. It conveniently links the Kremlin with Manezhnaya Square, the Russian State Library area and the walk towards the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
The garden runs alongside the Kremlin wall. Nearby metro stations include Alexandrovsky Sad, Biblioteka Imeni Lenina, Borovitskaya and Okhotny Ryad.
