Avignon can be explored within its ramparts, between the Rhône and the landscapes of Provence. Place de l’Horloge, with its terraces and theatre, is a lively landmark in the old town. Cobbled lanes, historic façades and shady squares invite you to explore the city on foot; visitors come for its medieval heritage, museums and walks along the ramparts.

The Palais des Papes towers over the streets around the square and tells the story of the time when Avignon was the seat of the papacy. Pont Saint-Bénézet, known from the song, is another landmark by the Rhône. The garden of Rocher des Doms, on the heights near the palace, is a place to take a break and admire the river and surrounding landscapes. Avignon-Centre railway station is 800 m away, making regional journeys and access to the historic centre easier. The neighbourhood’s main sights are easy to reach on foot, while vehicle traffic is restricted on pedestrian streets.

Spring and autumn are well suited to longer visits, with temperatures often pleasant for walking through the old town. In summer, Avignon hosts the Festival d’Avignon, which brings performances to theatres and courtyards; the city is busier during this period. You can spend a day visiting the palace, crossing to the bridge and strolling through the gardens. If you extend your stay in the region, Provençal villages and landscapes make for excursions, while markets and museums round out your discoveries in the city.
