How to get to Aix-en-Provence and get around during your weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Getting here by train or car<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Aix-en-Provence is easy to reach by train, with a station in the city centre<\/strong> and a TGV station outside the city<\/strong>. If you arrive by TGV, allow time for a connection<\/strong> to the centre and check the shuttle timetable.<\/p>\n

A car gives you more freedom to explore the surrounding area, particularly Montagne Sainte-Victoire<\/strong> and places on the outskirts<\/strong>. For a visit to the historic centre, however, it\u2019s best to park in a suitable car park and continue on foot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Getting around<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The historic centre is easy to explore on foot<\/strong>, letting you enjoy the lanes, squares and fountains without making extra journeys. To reach places outside the centre, find out about public transport<\/strong> and other ways to get around.
\nIf you\u2019re planning a hike or several trips around Aix, a car<\/strong> can make things easier. Either way, leave some time between visits for unexpected discoveries.
