Get in

Major train lines include:

• Paris - Nancy : 2h40
• Strasbourg - Nancy : 1h15
• Dijon - Nancy : 2h30

Get around

Nancy's bus and tram system could be useful for moving around Greater Nancy, that is between downtown Nancy and its suburbs, but the majority of attractions are in town and can be seen by foot.

On buses, you can buy tickets (1.20 €) directly from the driver, but if you take the tram you'll need to use the vending machines at each stop. If you'll be moving around Greater Nancy a lot you might consider visiting one of the many Tabacs and purchasing a "Pass 10" (8.20 €) or "Pass 20" (14.20 €).

Eat

Quiche Lorraine - quiche with little bacon bits-- is a local specialty. This can be found in any boulangerie/patisserie for roughly (2 €), but the better version can be found in restaurants. Kebaberies as well as small bakeries and delis can be found throughout the city.

The most obvious place to get a bite is the rue des Marechaux - lined with restaurants of all kinds. You'll find various French (surprise!), Chinese, Cuban and late-night snacks of varying quality.

At the covered market on Rue St. Dizier you can find fresh fruits and vegetables, a couple of butchers, a triperie, and one stand that sells fresh fish (and a pretty nice selection; you can even get Octopus!), plus a couple of small restaurants.
