To get to Fort Stotsenburg, you can take a car or cab and head over to Clark Field. Because it is such a popular tourist attraction, asking for directions (if you are driving yourself) will not be difficult. If it is your first time in Angeles City, you can just tell the driver to head out to Fort Stotsenburg and you will be taken there.
Fort Stotsenburg continues to draw in large numbers of visitors from all walks of life as it is not just another old site, but one that is laden with relics from important points in the past. By going there you do not just go to another tourist hotspot, but get to relive and experience a bit of history.
