You can explore the centre on foot, following its shopping lanes and monuments, which recall the city's history. It's a pleasant stop if you want to discover Provençal heritage while staying in a lively town, with markets and cafés that set the pace of the day.

Maison de Nostradamus, where the famous astrologer lived, is 100 m away; Tour de l'Horloge and the central squares offer a glimpse of the historic district. Château de l'Empéri, 160 m away, overlooks the city and houses Musée de l'Empéri, dedicated to military history. Collégiale Saint-Laurent and Musée de Salon et de la Crau round out the sights you can visit on foot. Salon train station is 700 m away, making it convenient to arrive by train. For longer trips, Marseille-Provence Airport is 22 km away; a car makes it easier to explore the countryside and nearby villages.

Allow a morning to explore the lanes and the château's collections, then take a break in a shady square before heading towards the landscapes of the Crau or the Alpilles. Summer days are hot, so sightseeing early in the morning is more pleasant; spring and early autumn bring milder temperatures for walking. Markets and local festivals also offer a chance to discover the produce and traditions of Provence. Salon makes a convenient urban stop, with easy access to routes for exploring the region.
