Getting there

Car

To reach Constitutional Square by car from any point in Central Region, make your way to Kampala. Use Google Maps or a GPS device to navigate to the coordinates 0.3153, 32.5791, or simply input '8H8H+4JQ, Kampala'. If you're coming from the outskirts, take the main highway into Kampala and follow signs leading to the city center. Upon nearing the city, look for signs directing you to the Central Division. Parking is available nearby, but be sure to check for parking fees which can vary.

Public Transportation (Matatu)

If you prefer public transport, look for a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Kampala Central. Most matatus will have signs indicating they are going to the city center. Once you arrive at the main matatu stage, you will need to walk approximately 10-15 minutes to reach Constitutional Square. Head towards the area around the Uganda Museum or the East African Development Bank as a reference point. From there, ask locals for directions to 'Constitutional Square' or follow the signs. The cost of a matatu ride is usually around UGX 1,000-3,000 depending on your starting location.

Public Transportation (Boda Boda)

Another option is to take a boda boda (motorcycle taxi). You can easily find a boda boda at most matatu stages or road junctions. Make sure to negotiate the fare before the ride; it typically ranges from UGX 2,000 to 10,000 depending on the distance. Inform the rider that you are headed to 'Constitutional Square', and they will take you directly to the location. Ensure you wear a helmet for safety.
