Checking your arrival station
Nancy's station is in the city. Be careful not to confuse it with Lorraine TGV, which requires a separate transfer. Look at the exact name of the station on your ticket before working out your arrival.
Compare the connections and the conditions of the return journey, especially if you leave on a public holiday. A service you know during the week may run differently on your date.
Preparing the journey with luggage
From the station, choose a solution suited to your luggage, the weather and your travellers. Walking may be fine for some stays; transport may be preferable with young children or bulky suitcases.
Check the exact route to the accommodation. The phrase "old town" alone does not give you a journey time.
Organising the days by area
Group nearby activities together rather than making multiple back-and-forth trips. You can devote one outing to the old town and another to Place Stanislas and the festive programme.
If you use the Stan network, check the day's service and any changes linked to events. Keep your return route accessible on your phone.
Travelling lighter
Prepare a small bag for outings: warm clothes, rain protection and a power bank depending on your needs. Leave room for purchases if you are considering gifts.
Before booking the accommodation, check the access times and the luggage arrangements. Also find our tips for getting to the old town from the station and choosing where to stay. Check our apartments available for your December stay in Nancy.
