Amboise is easily accessible by train from Paris or other major cities. The nearest train station is Gare d'Amboise, which is located a few minutes' walk from the town center. If you prefer to drive, Amboise is located on the A10 motorway, and there are several car rental companies available in the town.

Depending on the season, you should pack comfortable walking shoes, light layers, and rain gear. If you are visiting during the summer months, be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. If you plan to visit any of the châteaux or museums, bring a camera and a reusable water bottle.
