After admiring the Treasury, proceed straight ahead along the main path. Follow the signs towards the Royal Tombs. Once you reach the Royal Tombs, take the path that leads upwards on your left towards the High Place of Sacrifice. This path is well-marked and involves some stairs but offers beautiful views. After visiting the High Place of Sacrifice, descend and continue along the path that leads towards the Garden Temple area. Keep an eye out for the signs pointing towards the Garden Temple.

If you are at the Street of Facades, head towards the entrance of the Royal Tombs and then follow the path leading upwards. After you reach the upper area, look for the signs directing you to the Garden Temple. You will need to navigate through some lesser-known paths, but they are generally safe and well-traveled by other tourists.
