On Große Meißner Straße, you pass the Bellevue Hotel on the righthand side and continue straight on passing Finanzministerium (ministry of finance) and Staatskanzlei (state chancellery), both on the righthand side as well. Still straight on, the Wigardstraße leads you to the Albert bridge. Cross the bridge and the subsequent square (Güntzplatz) and enter Güntzstraße straight ahead. Opposite the bright blue front of St. Benno high school, turn left into Holbeinstraße (second turning after Güntzplatz).
