Tips from Accorhotels.com
- When to visit?
Unless you are keen on being part of the festivities, try to avoid the Avignon Festival during the last three weeks of July. Otherwise, this city boasts over 2 800 hours of sunlight per year, so take your pick!
- How to get around?
Within the ramparts, the best way to get around is on foot; otherwise take up cycling with the very practical Vélopop system.
- Good deals:
The Avignon Passion card gives visitors 25% to 50% off of various rates from the second monument visited.
