We know, geography isn't everyone's strong suit. If you're unsure where Avignon sits on a map, acquaint yourself with its location before you jet off!

It shouldn't be difficult to make some new friends in this part of Provence. It has a population of around 90,000 locals.

Places to visit in Avignon

So many things to do and so little time. If you're keen to experience what the city has to offer, add Palais des Papes and the Musee du Petit Palais to your travel program. If you get the chance, try to get to Tour Philippe le Bel and Pont Saint-Bénézet as well.

Find a good vantage point and observe the world roll by at Place de l'Horloge. If you're in the mood to socialize, this historic public space is also the perfect place to chat with other like-minded adventurers. Need some more ideas? Fort St-Andre guarded its surrounds from attack for years. Head to this enigmatic battlement and discover the stories behind its walls. And that's not all. Frequented for public worship and quiet meditation, Avignon Cathedral is a renowned theological landmark. That being said, you don't have to be a faithful church-goer to appreciate this calming space.
