The primary street to enter the area is the Pasupati overpass that runs from the Pasteur toll gate in the west (Northwest Bandung) via the Dago area towards East Bandung. The main north-south thoroughfare is Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, generally known as Jalan Dago (Dago Road), that runs from Central Bandung all the way to the mountains in the north.
