Walking

From Casemates Square, head towards the entrance of the Square where the large cannon is located. Once you are facing the cannon, take the path that leads to the right side of the Square. Continue walking straight until you reach the end of the path, where you will find a staircase leading up to the Old Queen's Road. Take these stairs up, and as you reach the top, turn left onto Old Queen's Road. Follow this road for about 500 meters. You will see the entrance to Apes Den on your left side. It’s a short and scenic walk, taking approximately 10-15 minutes.

Public Transport

From Casemates Square, walk to the nearest bus stop located just outside the Square. Look for bus number 3, which travels towards the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. Board the bus and enjoy the short ride. Get off at the stop named 'Apes Den.' The Apes Den is located a short walk from the bus stop, just down the path. This option provides a quick and easy way to reach your destination and will take about 5-10 minutes in total, depending on bus frequency.
