If you are in the city center, head to the nearest tram stop, which is likely to be 'Postplatz' or 'Theaterplatz'. Take tram line 4 or 8 towards 'Gorbitz' or 'Löbtau' respectively.

Locate the nearest bus stop in the city center, such as 'Wilsdruffer Str./Postplatz'. Take bus line 64 or 75 towards 'Gohlis' or 'Dresden-Niedersedlitz'. Disembark at 'Albertplatz' and then walk about 10 minutes towards 'Terrassenufer'. Follow the riverbank until you reach Brühl's Terrace.
Walking
If you are near the Frauenkirche or Zwinger Palace, you can make your way to Brühl's Terrace by walking. Head southeast on 'Neumarkt' towards 'Postplatz', then turn left onto 'Terrassenufer'.
