Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Arenes d'Arles
A remarkably intact 1st-century Roman amphitheatre that still hosts events today. A combined pass covers entry, but the exterior and surrounding streets are free to explore.
Place du Forum
The lively square where Van Gogh painted "Cafe Terrace at Night," with the cafe still recognisable today. Sitting in the square and soaking up the scene costs nothing.
