• By Plane: Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is around 20 kilometres from Antibes and is France's second-busiest airport, with direct flights from London and most UK regional airports. The drive to Antibes takes about 25 minutes, and regular buses and trains link the airport area to the town centre.

1. Discover the smugglers' route

   Antibes is a great place for enjoying its fabulous outdoors and keeping in touch with nature. Just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of the Riviera, Cap d'Antibes offers great views of the Mediterranean and exclusive properties alongside the limestone cliffs and rocky coves of this hiking trail. Known as the "Smugglers' Path". Starting at Garoupe Beach, this coastal path will take you along the coastline. Most of the path is narrow and uneven, which makes it more challenging when the mistral wind coming from the northwest makes its way out. At some point, you will reach wider and inland areas such as the lovely garden of Villa Eilenroc, where you can stop and enjoy it before heading back to Garoupe Beach. You can also take the opportunity to stop at any of the coves you find along the way and take a dip in its waters.

2. Ready for a tasting tour?

3. Take some time for its museums

   The city of Antibes has a good number of museums that you cannot miss if you enjoy doing cultural visits. The Picasso Museum, in honour of all the times that the Malaga-born painter spent in this town; the Archaeological Museum that exhibits Greek, Roman, medieval and modern remains; the Naval and Napoleonic Museum, which has model ships, sculptures and objects of the time; or the Museum of the Tour, which tells the history of the city throughout the twentieth century, its greatest time of splendour. If this long list of museums is not enough for you, then you can take a taxi, rent a car or take the train to Mougins. The time depends on the means of transport you choose, but it's still very close to Antibes. However, if you want more comfort you can book a holiday rental and letting in Mougins and take a leisurely tour of the Musee d'Art Classique de Mougins, Museum of Photography, Atelier Defontenay, among many others.

4. Stroll around the city walls

   The old part of town is where you can immerse yourself in the charms of this Mediterranean city. The picturesque resort is a great place to explore the narrow cobbled streets, the exclusive boutiques, and the Chateau Grimaldi. Take your time to sip a nice coffee, have a feast at some of the best restaurants or buy your own local produce at the market in the old town square. Get the freshest greens, fruit and produce from the region and try your culinary skills.

5. Go for a walk around the fabulous port

   Port Vauban is the name that the port of Antibes receives and which, in turn, is the main tourist centre of the region. It was fortified during the 17th century, which is why it still retains part of the fortress and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is dominated by three buildings of great architectural value - the Picasso Museum (former Grimaldi castle), the cathedral and the Fort Carré. It also has the largest yachting marina full of luxury yachts, elegant sailboats and fantastic floating palaces. Marvel at the fantastic views of this ritzy port and enjoy a pleasant walk.
