Your guide to Cannes

Cannes, a glamorous city on the French Riviera, is renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and luxurious atmosphere. Nestled between the sea and the hills, it enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate. The city's unique charm is a mix of natural beauty and sophisticated culture. Here are three must-see attractions for locals:

  • La Croisette: This iconic promenade is lined with upscale shops, hotels, and restaurants, offering stunning views of the sea.
  • Le Suquet: Explore Cannes' old town with its charming streets, art galleries, and local markets. Enjoy spectacular views from the hilltop.
  • Îles de Lérins: Take a boat trip to the serene islands just off the coast. Explore the fortress on Sainte-Marguerite Island and the monastery on Saint-Honorat Island.
Getting around is easy, whether you use local buses, taxis, or simply stroll along the picturesque streets. Since Cannes doesn't have its own airport, the closest is Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE). Book your flights to Nice and enjoy the best of the French Riviera.
