Annecy is a pedestrian-friendly city, especially the charming Old Town, which is compact and largely car-free. The layout makes it easy to explore on foot, with attractions like the Palais de l'Île and the Bridge of Love within close proximity. The scenic lakeside walks enhance the pedestrian experience, and the city’s infrastructure supports a leisurely stroll, providing a walker’s paradise where daily life comfortably unfolds without a car.

Annecy's public transport is fairly efficient with the SIBRA network ensuring connectivity across the Greater Annecy region. The availability of frequent buses, especially on the 'Rythmo' lines, ensures that travelers can access surrounding villages and cities like Geneva efficiently. However, the need for public transport diminishes within the city center due to its compact layout and high walkability, making buses more useful for trips extending beyond the city.

Annecy is a haven for cyclists, offering an extensive network of cycle paths and a blend of scenic and challenging routes. With over 132 km of bike paths, expanding further to 220 km by 2030, and facilities like bike locks and two-way cycling streets, it's a cyclist-friendly city. The picturesque path around Lake Annecy is a highlight, making biking not just a mode of transport but a delightful way to experience the area. Travelers will find renting bikes easy, further complementing Annecy’s strong biking culture.
