How to Get to Kronprinzenpalais #

It is a short walk-about 5-10 minutes-from the central rail/metro area (stations such as Friedrichstraße and Brandenburger Tor); from Alexanderplatz allow about 15-20 minutes on foot. Driving is possible via Unter den Linden but parking is limited, so public transport is the easiest option.
