Given the small size of the center, the best way for getting around Amboise is on foot. Furthermore, the distances are not even excessive, moving away from the Old City.
On foot, you can also move easily from the train station, which is just 500 meters from the renowned Chateau. Buses and, especially bikes, are valid solutions to cover medium/long-range distances.
