BRAEMAR HILL (PHOTO ROCK), HOW TO GET THERE

This post is to help you get to the famous rock where you have probably seen many instagram pictures, here’s our experience so let’s start.

First thing you should know, is that the way to take once you get to Braemar Hill Road, is the one on the left! Yes, you are going to have to jump the fence. I start with this because when we get there the first time we went to the right and then the second time we saw people doing exactly the same thing, so keep reading and you won’t make the same mistake.

To Braemar Hill Rd you can get by any public transport or by Uber, just make sure you get to the very end of the road (you will need to pass the school). Once you there you will see a small fence on the left, just jump the fence and keep walking, you will see some steps, start to follow them up until you get to this point (see pictures).

Right, now when you get to the very top of this steps, you will see there is a pathwalk, take right and keep walking.

To walk this path it takes about 15 minutes, along the way you will see different spots where you can take pictures. Also, you will leave behind some rocky area in the pathwalk, after this you are basically there.

You will know you get there because on the right you will have a whole view of the buildings. Next thing you have to do to get to the Rock viewpoint, is walk up the hill, it’s not anything difficult and you don’t have to walk much but the ground might be very slippery. The views you will get are these, you probably recognise the spot since it’s quite popular.

Worth it, right? I hope this post serves you as a guide to get there and if you already been there and have any comments just leave them below, we will be waiting to see what you would like to add.

See you in the next post!
