FAQs about where to stay in Avignon
🤩 Is it worth staying in Avignon?
Absolutely! Avignon is a gorgeous city that feels like an open-air museum with numerous attractions, restaurants, luxury hotels, and a beautiful historic centre!
🚶 Is Avignon a walkable city?
Yes! You can walk to pretty much all the attractions in Avignon, and you definitely don’t need a car to get around the town (except if you want to take day trips to other places in the area).
🤔 Is it better to stay in Arles or Avignon?
It depends! I visited both, and I’d say that Avignon features many more attractions than Arles and better travel connections. But Arles is pretty close to Avignon, so you can visit it whenever you want!
📅 How many days do you need to see Avignon?
I would recommend spending 3 to 4 days in Avignon, that will give you plenty of time to explore the town, visit its museums and even some day trips to places like Saint Rémy de Provence.
