Avignon's Avignon City Centre neighborhood is known for its castle and festivals, and entices visitors with attractions including Rue de la Republique and Place de l'Horloge.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Pont Saint-Bénézet— just one of the monuments in central Avignon. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the museums in the area.
Beneath the imposing Palais des Papes, where medieval pontiffs once ruled, cobblestone streets wind through a UNESCO-protected wonderland. Sip rosé at a café on Place de l'Horloge while street performers entertain beneath ancient plane trees. The famous half-bridge, Pont d'Avignon, stretches mysteriously into the Rhône, stopping mid-river as if time itself intervened. Duck into Musée du Petit Palais for remarkable Italian primitive paintings or time a visit during the Festival d'Avignon when the entire city transforms into a stage. The remarkably intact medieval walls encircle treasures like Avignon Cathedral and Musée Angladon. For the best photos, climb Rocher des Doms garden at sunset when the papal palace glows golden against the Provençal sky.
Avignon is also notable for its historical sites. Simply book a sightseeing tour to enjoy your stay a little more. Learn about the local heritage of Avignon at landmarks like Rue de la Republique and Palais des Papes. You might find that sights like Place de l'Horloge and Avignon City Hall are worth a visit.
