From the mosque, head south on the main road (Shahrah-e-Dastak) for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Constitution Avenue.

Continue walking past the monument, and after a short distance, you will find the Crescent & Star Monument nearby.
Public Transport (Metro Bus)
Begin your journey at the nearest Metro Bus station. Board the Metro Bus heading towards the Pakistan Secretariat station. Make sure to validate your card at the entrance. Once you arrive at the Pakistan Secretariat station, disembark and head towards Constitution Avenue. Walk straight for about 500 meters. You will see the Pakistan Monument on your left side. Continue walking past the monument for a few minutes, and you will reach the Crescent & Star Monument, which is located close by.
