Once you approach Nicosia, follow signs for the city center. Upon reaching Nicosia, look for signs directing you to Ledra Street. You may need to park in one of the nearby parking facilities, as Ledra Street itself is pedestrian-only. Expect to pay a parking fee of about 2-3 Euros per hour.

For those using public transport, locate a local bus station in the Kyrenia area. Take a bus heading to Nicosia (look for routes labeled 'Nicosia') which typically runs every 30-60 minutes. The bus ride should take approximately 1 hour. Once you arrive at the Nicosia bus terminal, you can either walk to Ledra Street, which is about a 15-minute walk, or take a short taxi ride (approximately 5 Euros) to the pedestrian area of Ledra Street.
