In the morning, visit the magnificent Papal Palace. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once the seat of the Catholic Church during the 14th century. Walking through the palace, you'll learn about its history and see some fantastic artwork. After lunch, make your way to the famous Pont d'Avignon, a bridge that partially crosses the Rhône River. With its incomplete structure and rich history, taking a walk here will make you feel like you've stepped back in time.
Musée du Petit Palais is a must-see destination for art lovers. This museum boasts an impressive collection of Italian Renaissance paintings and is housed in a beautiful 14th-century building. Afterward, head over to the Palais des Papes' Avignon, another World Heritage Site. This time, take an immersive tour to learn about the site's history and witness a picturesque view of the city from the top of its towers.
If you have more time, explore the town on foot and visit the ramparts, Avignon Cathedral, or the Rocher des Doms gardens. Foodies may want to check out the buzzing Les Halles market, where you can find local delicacies to sample. For those with less time, consider combining some sites on this itinerary. For example, if you only have one day, you can visit both Papal Palace and Palais des Papes' Avignon sites.
