Staying near Porte de la République
The key distinction here is which side of the walls your address occupies. Avignon Centre station stands outside the ramparts, opposite the approach into Rue de la République. Check the crossing and your hotel entrance before arrival. This end of town also lets you fit a smaller museum into an arrival afternoon without first walking all the way to the palace.
