The town is easily reached by bus from Lyon or Marseille, and travelers can even take a long distance bus to Avignon from Paris.

Local buses run from the station as well, including the LER 18, 22, and 23, so getting into central Avignon isn't difficult.

Before you travel to Avignon by bus - good to know!

The city of Avignon isn't large at all, so walking (or hiring bicycles) is a popular way to see the sights. Alternatively, Lietaud double-decker buses run from sight to sight, allowing visitors to take everything in when time is short. There's quite a lot to see. The Palace of the Popes was once home to the Pope during the famous medieval "schism", while the Musee du Petit Palais hosts a magical collection of paintings from the Avignon School. If taking vacation snaps is a priority, there's nothing like a stroll to the end of the ruined Pont d'Avignon. The views of the city and the River Rhone are sublime.
