The bus system, Envia Local buses (www.tout-envia.com), runs 6:30 am to 7:30 pm Monday to Saturday, and 9:30 am to 5:30 pm Sunday. Tickets are about €0.80 per ticket. Free mini buses circle most of the old city every 25 minutes from 7:10 am to 7:15 pm Monday to Saturday.

Taxis can be ordered by calling Arles Taxi Radio (04 90 96 90 09). The company offers chauffeured tours of the Camargue region as well as traditional taxi services.

You will not need a car to navigate around the town center. Part of the old town center is pedestrianized, and parking is paid. The best option for free parking is the parking lot at the railway station, on the north side of town.

Bicycle rentals are available from several agencies in the city, including Arles Vélo Assistance Electrique (65 Blvd Emile Combes), Europ Bike (1 rue PhilippeLebon) and Vélocand Oxygen (15 rue du Pont). These places typically rent scooters, motorbikes and the like as well.

Arles is a very good city for walking and the town center is small enough for pedestrians to navigate. The tourist office sells brochures that outline the four main walking trails in town. The UNESCO World Heritage trail, in particular, will take you through all the major Roman ruins of Arles in 90 minutes. The Tourist Office also offers 2-hour guided walks and commentary.
