Air
There are three airports near Grenoble:
-
Car
Just follow the highways from/to :
* A41, Geneva (via Chambery)
* A48, Lyon and Paris
* A49, Valence and Marseille
* A51, Aix-en-Provence
Grenoble can be difficult to navigate by car, but once you get there the "Park and Ride" (parking relais) system operated by Semitag-parking [http://www.semitag.com/index.php?id=197] is a good way of getting around. (see trams and buses)
-
Train
Several high speed trains (TGV) from SNCF [url=http://www.voyages-sncf.com/]]link Paris to Grenoble directly every day, for a three-hour trip of 640 km. Full price is about €70 for a one-way ticket. Young people and students will be entitled to a découverte discount which can reduce ticket prices by 25%. Those staying for more than a few months and/or planning to travel by train a lot are advised to purchase a 12-25 card (€50) which gives 25 to 50% discounts.
Hourly trains link [[Lyon[/url]] (Part-Dieu station) to Grenoble, from 5:30 am to midnight (5am to 10pm from Grenoble to Lyon). This takes around an 1h15 to 1h30 with the TER (regional trains) [http://www.ter-sncf.com/UK/rhone-alpes/default.htm]. Full price is 20.20€. The train schedule sometimes includes TER buses. The price is the same, the duration is the same, they start at the same station and arrive at the same point.
TER trains also link the city to Geneva in Switzerland (2h), to southern Alps (Gap, Sisteron) and to Valence (1h) where you can change for the TGV to Southern-France.

Regional buses
Many regional buses can take you from the bus station (gare routiere, by the train station) to ski stations and several towns in the surrounding countryside. For example, Grenoble to Chamrousse (bus 6010) ski station costs €2.70. It is better to buy tickets in advance for access to ski stations in high season- if the bus is crowded, you get priority. Tickets are sold at the main bus station and at the tourist information office (French: Maison du tourisme) which is on tram lines A and B (stop: Hubert Dubedout- Maison du Tourisme).
Information on regional buses VFD [http://www.vfd.fr/] (in French only, but finding buses schedules is easy). Be aware that the winter schedule (saison neige) is not the same as for the rest of the year.
-
Trams and buses
Four (Five as of 6/28/2015) tram lines cross the town with services every few minutes (less frequent on Sundays or at night) and an extensive bus network operates within the city itself, the suburbs and villages further out. The bus network typically stops service at 8:00pm, whereas most of the tram network runs until 1:00am. Individual tickets cost around €1.50, less if bought in 10 or 30 packs. Daily, weekly and monthly passes are available with discounts for students. Tickets are valid for one hour of travel across the Semitag network (bus and tram). Tickets can be bought in the bus from the driver, and from machines on the platform for tramways, or at the Maison du Tourisme. You must stamp (composter) your ticket for it to be valid: this is done on the platform at the tram stop or on entering a bus. Ticket inspections are frequent, even during weekends.
Information can be found at Semitag [url=http://www.semitag.com/]]and maps at Maps Semitag [http://www.sedeplacer-tag.fr/index.php?id=160[/url] (in French).

Bicycle
Despite its mountainous surroundings, Grenoble itself is one of the flattest cities in Europe, so cycling is an easy way of getting around. Pleasant recreational cycle routes follow the Drac and Isere rivers. An old bicycle track along the Isère river passes in front of the town centre, and the main boulevards have dedicated cycle lanes. Bicycles are allowed on some smaller streets, but riders often have to use the same lane as buses.
It is possible to rent bicycles for a day, a week or longer at the railway station and other MetroVelo offices- around €5 a day and about 15/20€ per month. For more information: métro-vélo [http://www.metrovelo.fr/metro-velo-uk.php].
However, the town is very walk-able and bicycle rides not essential if you are focusing around the town center.
-
Disabled Travelers
The entire tram network and many bus routes have been adapted for wheelchair users. The flatness of the city means it is generally very accessible.

The cable car (French: téléphérique), Quai Stéphane Jay (if you're walking, follow the Isère in the direction of the center of the town until you see the cables, you cannot miss them), (+33) 4 76 33 44 44 (fax: (+33) 4 76 51 61 49, contact@telepherique-grenoble.com). Closed for 3 weeks in January. Otherwise open every day, 10h45-18h30 in winter and up to 9h15-00h15 in summer. Prices at 6.80 euro for round trip or 4.70 euro for single trip (as at Aug 2011). The cable car is the easiest way to see the town from above, and the trip in the plastic bubbles is impressive. At the summit (some 260 m above the town) is a 19th-century fortress, La Bastille. When you arrive at the top, you can explore the fortifications, have a meal or light refreshments, follow winding paths further up the mountainside or simply enjoy the view (on a clear day Mont Blanc is visible in the distance). If you take the path (GR9) to the rear of the Bastille, you can walk approx 20-30 mins further up to Mont Jalla to get an even better view, where there is a memorial to the mountain troups who fought in WWII and a monument erected on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Grenoble (1944). You can also walk up to the Bastille via one of several paths or go by car from the city of La Tronche. Paths start from the Fountain of lion on the East side, (this path is called Montée Chalemont) or a park on the West, near the large arch (called Jardin des Dauphins).
* With three mountain ranges on the doorstep, Hiking and climbing are very popular. The place to start is the Maison de la Montagne (3, rue Raoul Blanchard), where you can browse maps and helpful staff (several English-speakers) can help you choose a route according to your level of fitness and the time you have on hand. For short walks around the city, ask for the "Carte des Sentiers Sipavag" (a free hiking map) at the Tourism Office (4, rue de la République) or Maison de la Montagne [url=http://www.maison-montagne.com/],] close to the Hubert Doubedout tram station. Also look for the "Guides des Balades" at the TAG office (in the same building of the Tourism Office)- a nice add-on to the Sipavag map which lists a number of parks and hikes you can reach with public transportation. The new edition for 2007 includes over 50 different walks, from half-hour strolls to full-day hikes. You will also find suitable maps at any bookshop; the best ones are published by the IGN (National Geographic Institute) and Didier Richard. Without proper maps, the trails can be confusing and you may be lost in the many turns, steps, ups and downs. However, if you are careful to observe and follow the colour codes on trees and at key turns, then it can still be an enjoyable alternative way of getting up or down the mountain.
* In winter, skiing is a popular activity, which is unsurprising given the historically ski-friendly terrain; Grenoble hosted the Tenth Winter Olympic games in 1968. The nearest ski stations are only 45 min from Grenoble by car. Stations close to Grenoble include [wiki=0471b2bdf4a4b19d23addc572bea8c48]Autrans[/wiki] (1000 m up in the [wiki=10a6c7b46160bb305bb7cada7442fca8]Vercors[/wiki]), Chamrousse (1700 m - 2200 m, in [wiki=60d294bcfa6da2b4401a191a2f749dde]Belledonne[/wiki]) and the 7 Laux (Belledonne). The 7 Laux is from far the best quality/price ratio during weekday (not holiday). Avoid the two last two weeks of December and most of February (winter holiday), which are overcrowded at all ski stations and the most expensive time of the year. During high season there are also several daily buses to big ski resorts such as Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez (1h30 minutes trip). Tickets can be bought at the Gare Routiere and they offer reductions when buying bus tickets and ski passes in combination. If skiing's not your thing but you still fancy a snowy outing, you might like to try snowshoeing- many centres around Grenoble offer half- or full-day excursions, ask at the Maison de la Montagne or the Maison du Tourisme.
* Mountain lakes are a great place to visit during a hot summer day, to swim or just to admire the landscape. For example, the Lacs Robert and Lac Achard are one or two hours hike from Chamrousse. Several paths are available, some suitable for the whole family, others advised for adults only. Also, [wiki=1f1c11e4460ba257bfc7196b2dfe2db2]Annecy[/wiki]- a small, historic city on the edge of a beautiful lake, perfect for swimming- can be reached by train in 1h30 (up to 32 EUR return trip). Fishing in lakes and in some rivers is allowed, but (like everywhere else in France) a permit is required. For information about fishing, contact the local fishermen's union (French: Union des pêcheurs à la ligne. 8, rue Ampère, Grenoble, tel. (+33) 9 50 35 11 73, fax (+33) 4 76 49 02 17, e-mail: union.pecheurs@wanadoo.fr
* Moucherotte mountain, the hardest (and best) way to see the town from above, for hikers willing to spend nearly a whole day. Go to Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte by car or regional bus (bus 5100), then follow the path to the top (you will start at 1000 m and go to 1900 m). The view of the town is stunning. A lot of people use this path on Sundays in the Spring and Summer, so you're unlikely to get lost.

Grenoble has been a center of academic excellence since the 14th century. The main universities share a large, modern, purpose-built campus in St Martin d'Heres (accessible by tram, lines B,C and D). There are universities for science and technology (Joseph Fourier), Humanities and Social Sciences (Pierre Mendès-France), Languages and Literature (Stendhal) and Political Sciences (Sciences PO). Grenoble also hosts several Grandes Ecoles- engineering schools in physics, chemistry, electricity, computer science, and a renowned business school. See Grenoble INP [url=http://www.inpg.fr/]]and Grenoble Ecole de Management, offering graduate specializations in innovation and technlogy management [http://www.grenoble-em.com/[/url].
French language courses are available at Alliance Francaise (english) [http://www.alliancefr-grenoble.org/index.php?cPath=132&sort=2a&language=uk].
The Polygone Scientifique contains the ESRF [url=http://www.esrf.eu/]]light source (a circular building 270 metres wide, very easily visible from the Bastille) and the ILL [url=http://www.ill.eu/about/[/url]]nuclear reactor (the blue windowless concrete pepper-pot near ESRF), as well as an outstation of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [http://www.embl-grenoble.fr/[/url].
It is a particularly good place to do post-doctoral work in biochemistry. There is also the Minatec [http://www.minatec.com/] building, micro and nano technologies, visible from the Bastille.

If you are looking for a big commercial centre with chain-stores etc., consider Grand Place (tramway A direction Echirolles). Generally very crowded, especially at weekends.
* For street shopping, stop at Victor Hugo tramway station (tramway A or B). The tramway station is next to Place Grenette, which is the center of the city. This area is largely pedestrianized. Small, winding streets house many boutique-style shops, chain-store outlets, traditional French cafés and all the usual city centre paraphernalia.
* For pampering, Bella Express on 10 boulevard Agutte Sembat, near Victor Hugo is all in one beauty concept where you'll find haidressers and beauticians for men and women opened non stop for 9am till 9pm: www.bella-express.fr.
* The markets. There are several daily food markets in the city centre. The most centrally located, are at Sainte-Claire Les Halles (near the Cathedral) which has a covered food hall (housing cheese and butchers' stalls) as well as the outdoor fruit and vegetable market, and Place aux Herbes. Watch out for the grape-stealing pigeons - a great favorite with children but detested by the stall-holders! The best market is probably L'Estacade (6 days per week), under the elevated railway tracks next to Cours Jean Jaures.
*The cinemas, you'll find a few within the city center such as in the pedestrian streets or the multiplex Nef Chavant. If you want to watch an English/American movie with French subtitles head to La Nef on boulevard Edouard Rey, near Victor Hugo.
*If you want a Spa/Hammam, you'll have to get out of the city and head off to the outskirts such as Echirolles or Meylan.

If you'd like to have an extensive eatery guide with you on your travels, The Guide du Dahu is probably the best restaurant guide to Grenoble. The work of 20 students of Grenoble business school, it includes 300 pages covering restaurants, bars, culture, sport and nightlife. €2.50 from tabacs and bookshops in the city. The Petit Futé [http://www.petitfute.com/] series also offers a Grenoble guide, which has an extensive list of restaurants and other businesses.
Boulangeries and Patisseries - Little bread and pastry bakeries that not only have wonderful tarts and cakes, but they also sell small quiches, panini (grilled Italian sandwiches) and cold sandwiches. Grenoble is the walnut capital of France so look for small cakes (gateaux) with walnut cream, especially during the winter. Other specialties include Chartreuse (a herbal liquor traditionally made by the monks of Grande Chartreuse, a monastery high in the mountains about an hour from Grenoble).
You can find many good restaurants in the city center, roughly between the Train Station, Place Saint-André and Place Notre Dame. The St-Laurent neighborhood (on the northern side of the Isère river) has a number of Italian restaurants and pizzerias. There are also a number of restaurants that line the Rue Brocherie and the area surrounding Place aux Herbes. In the winter, try typical Alpine dishes such as fondue, raclette and the legendary tartiflette.

The Drac is a small river and may appear harmless, but the level of water may change quickly, especially when the dam upstream releases water.
Avoid the Villeneuve area at night (tram "A" stops of La Bruyère, Arlequin, and Grand'Place) as well as Village Olympique.
Be aware of pickpockets on the tram and bus lines; though petty theft is not common in Grenoble, it does exist.
Bike theft in Grenoble is very common.
