The historic centre of Armidale is small enough to be easily covered on foot. However, some attractions the University and the New England Regional Art Museum are on the outskirts of town, making access difficult for the less-mobile traveller.
A bus service Edwards does run frequently between the town centre and the University, but the best way to explore the town and surrounding countryside is by car. Car hire is available on arrival at the airport. Taxi services are also widely available.
Getting between the town and the university is an easy cycle, with bicycle lanes on the roads, and quiet traffic.
