If you're driving from Port-au-Prince, take Route Nationale #1 northbound. Continue for approximately 80 kilometers until you reach the town of Milot.

Parking is usually available near the entrance. Note: You may incur fuel costs for the journey.
Public Transportation
To reach Sans Souci Palace via public transportation, start by taking a tap-tap (shared taxi) or a bus from Port-au-Prince to Cap-Haïtien. The fare is typically around 200 HTG (Haitian Gourde). Once you arrive in Cap-Haïtien, you can find another tap-tap or bus heading to Milot for an additional fare of about 50 HTG. Once in Milot, ask locals for directions to Sans Souci Palace, which is roughly a 5-kilometer walk from the center of town.
