Overview
Cannes is an iconic and glamorous city located on the French Riviera, a celebrated stretch of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. World-renowned for its prestigious International Film Festival, Cannes embodies elegance and luxury, featuring its famous palm-lined Boulevard de la Croisette, exquisite sandy beaches, designer boutiques, and grand hotels. Beyond the glitz, the city also boasts a charming old town, Le Suquet, offering historical charm and panoramic views.
Cannes is a highly sought-after cruise port of call for Mediterranean itineraries, particularly those exploring the French and Italian Rivieras. Cruise ships typically anchor in the bay (often a short distance from shore) and tender passengers ashore to a pier located conveniently near the heart of the city and La Croisette. A visit to Cannes offers cruise passengers a chance to experience the epitome of Riviera chic, relax on beautiful beaches, indulge in high-end shopping, and explore a captivating blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.
Walk along the famous Boulevard de la Croisette, a palm-lined promenade that stretches along the waterfront. Admire the grand hotels, sandy beaches, high-end boutiques, and the iconic Palais des Festivals (home of the Cannes Film Festival).
Tip: Look for the handprints of famous movie stars outside the Palais des Festivals.
Enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches of Cannes. Many sections along La Croisette are private beaches belonging to hotels or restaurants, but there are also public sections where you can spread out your towel and enjoy a swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
Tip: Public beaches near the Palais des Festivals are convenient options for a quick swim and relaxation.
Wander through Le Suquet, Cannes' charming old town. This historic district, perched on a hill, features narrow, winding cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and small squares. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the bay, the port, and the Lerins Islands.
Tip: Le Suquet offers excellent photo opportunities and a break from the modern glamour of La Croisette.
Immerse yourself in local life at Marché Forville, Cannes' main covered market (open most mornings, except Mondays). Here you'll find an array of fresh local produce, seafood, flowers, cheeses, and regional specialties.
Tip: Sample some local cheeses or "socca," a traditional Niçoise chickpea pancake, for an authentic taste of the region.
Take a short ferry ride to the Lerins Islands (Îles de Lérins), located just off the coast of Cannes. Explore Sainte-Marguerite Island, home to the historic Fort Royal and its famous "Man in the Iron Mask" cell, or Saint-Honorat Island, where Cistercian monks produce wine and liqueurs.
Tip: This is a great half-day escape for nature, history, and tranquility away from the city's bustle.
Cannes is a paradise for shopping, from luxury brands on La Croisette to more accessible boutiques on Rue d'Antibes. Afterwards, savor exquisite French Riviera cuisine at one of the city's many restaurants, offering fresh seafood, Provençal specialties, and fine wines.
Tip: Explore the side streets off La Croisette and Rue d'Antibes for charming cafes and diverse dining options that might be more budget-friendly.
