Staying here means you can reach virtually every major sight on foot, including the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles and the Musée de l'Arles Antique, which is a short walk or bike ride away along the Rhone. The neighbourhood has a compact, lived-in character: locals shop at the Saturday market on Boulevard des Lices, and the evenings fill with visitors and residents sharing the same narrow squares.

From the station to the historic centre, most hotels are reachable on foot in 10 to 15 minutes, or by taxi.

Parking inside the historic core is limited and some streets are pedestrianised or very narrow. Most hotels in Centre-ville d'Arles will advise guests to use nearby public car parks, such as the one near Boulevard des Lices.
