Access to the Gaia EDR3 data is provided by the ESA Gaia Archive and several partner data centres. The archive provides a flexible interface for querying the EDR3 catalogue using both basic search terms and the more advanced Astronomical Data Query Language. It hosts additional products such as precomputed cross-matches and various auxiliary data, and provides access to external and user-defined catalogues. In addition, Virtual Observatory tools such as TopCat are integrated with the Archive and can be used to aid real time data handling and visualisation. This talk will provide a brief introductory guide to the ESA Gaia Archive and associated tools.
