Plan your journey from Antibes Train Station
With a massive port featuring some of the Mediterranean’s most impressive yachts, Antibes is still surprisingly down to earth. The town springs alive between Easter and the end of the summer, while a Christmas market illuminates the calmer winter months.Tourists flock to the old town to explore the tangle of streets lined with ice cream shops and restaurants.
Food lovers will appreciate the Marché Provencal. This covered market provides a tantalising excursion through local produce, cheese and flowers, with the scents of lavender wafting through the air. Taste the local specialty, socca – a chickpea crêpe baked in a wood-burning oven.
To sample more local culture, check out the Musée Picasso situated along the old ramparts. Take a quick drive to the fort on the opposite end of the port for a peek into the town’s 16th century military history.
For those more interested in catching the sun, Antibes offers two sandy beaches, unlike the characteristically rocky varieties populating the rest of the Riviera. Visitors from around Europe mingle in the dreamy blue water. At night, families and couples stroll along the ramparts and the port, marveling at the stunning yachts that fill the harbour.
