Practical tips for visiting Antibes in 1 day
The weather in Antibes
Antibes enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. However, in the summer, temperatures can sometimes rise significantly, which can make outdoor activities uncomfortable, especially if you can’t stand the heat. Do what we do, and visit Antibes and the surrounding area in spring or autumn. You can even visit Antibes in winter! Most tourist sites remain open, so you can escape the summer crowds. To find out more, read our article on what to do in Antibes in winter.
Getting around on foot or by public transport
Antibes can be very busy, especially during the summer season. Because of this influx, and also because this coastline is densely populated, there can be a lot of traffic jams. A 35-minute journey to Nice can be made in 1 hour during rush hour! If you only want to visit the city centers, opt for the train. Within Antibes itself, you can do it all on foot or by bus. The area’s extensive transport network links Antibes with neighboring towns. For more information, visit the official website here. On the other hand, if you want to visit the residential area of Cap d’Antibes, which is not very well served, you’ll need a car.
Affluence and anticipation of bookings
As mentioned above, Antibes and its seaside resort of Juan-les-Pins are very busy in summer. Prices are therefore high in high season. We recommend that you book your accommodation as early as possible to take advantage of the best rates. Check availability for the best hotels to stay at in Antibes.
The Pass’Musées d’Antibes Juan-les-Pins
To visit the museums of Antibes Juan-les-Pins, you can opt for the Pass’Musées. It’s a great way to discover the city’s 4 major cultural sites: the Musée Picasso, the Musée d’Archéologie, the Musée Peynet et du Dessin Humoristique, and the Fort Carré. At a cost of €10, it gives you free access to these museums for 7 days, starting from the first time you enter one of them. In addition, it can be stored for 1 year before first use. To find out more, visit the official website here.

Option 1- Antibes must-sees in 1 day
Ready for a 1-day tour of Antibes? Between the Port Vauban, the old town and the Fort Carré, you’ll love discovering this seaside resort on the Côte d’Azur! In fact, we’ve written a full article on the must-do activities in this city!
Day 1 – 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.: Visit Fort Carré
We recommend that you start the 1st day with a visit to Antibes’ most famous monument, and almost its emblem: Fort Carré. From the railroad line that runs along the coast between Monaco, Nice and Cannes, you’re sure to catch a glimpse of it. With its famous star-shaped architecture and 4-hectare park, we were impressed! Located next to Port Vauban, this is one of the first bastioned forts built during the Renaissance. It dates back to the 16th century, when Henry II, King of France, needed a sentry to watch over the border with the Duchy of Savoy, then occupying the County of Nice.
During your visit, you can enjoy the fort’s park. We were particularly interested in the information panels on local flora and fauna set up along the main access path to the monument. Don’t miss Henri Bouchard’s monumental 22-metre statue of the “Poilu”. It pays tribute to the 261 soldiers from Antibes who fell in the First World War. You’ll also see the tomb of General Championnet, hero of the French Revolution who founded the Parthenopean Republic in Naples before dying in Antibes in 1800. Inside the fort itself, you can admire several bastions and an ancient chapel with superb painted decorations!
To find out more, read our article on Fort Carré!
Day 1 – 11:30am-12:30pm: Discover Port Vauban and the Nomade
From the Fort Carré, reach the Port Vauban on foot or by free shuttle bus. This is Europe’s leading marina! It has almost 1,500 berths and can accommodate boats up to 160 meters in length, on a 25-hectare stretch of water. Although its current appearance dates from the 1970s, the old port, which stretches from the Porte Marine to the Bastion Saint-Jaume, was used in Phocaean times. A naval base, it was also a major trading center. We were stunned by this extraordinary port!
In addition to all kinds of boats, including yachts and pointus (traditional barques from the Var and Alpes-Maritimes regions), you’ll see a sculpture emblematic of Antibes: the Nomade. Located on Quai Henri Rambaud, this seated human silhouette, made of white steel letters, made a lasting impression on us! That’s hardly surprising when you consider that it’s 10 metres high! It was created by Barcelona artist Jaume Plensa, who has also created monumental works in public spaces. One example is Lou (2015), which depicts the face of a little girl at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Caen.
Read our article on Port Vauban and Le Nomade.
Day 1 – 12:30-14:30: Lunch in an Old Antibes restaurant
From Le Nomade, it’s just a ten-minute walk to our favorite addresses in Old Antibes:
- Restaurant L’Arazur: we were won over by its refined, seasonal cuisine, served in a beautiful vaulted cellar.
- Healthy Lounge Restaurant: we really enjoyed this tasty and colourful healthy restaurant!
Discover our article on the best restaurants to eat in Antibes.
Day 1 – 2:30 – 3:30 pm: Stroll through the old town
After lunch, explore the rest of Old Antibes. If, like us, you’re a lover of Provençal charm, you’ll be seduced by its 16th-century ramparts, colorful alleyways dotted with plants, cobblestone pavements and shopkeepers, particularly numerous in Rue Clémenceau and Rue Sade).
Keep your eyes peeled for the many architectural details hidden in its Provencal streets. Can you find the faces hidden in the wall near the Tourraque washhouse? You can also admire the remains of the fortified walls that protected Antibes in the Middle Ages, such as the Porte de l’Orme. Don’t miss the Place Nationale and its old herbalist shop!
Even if you’ve probably lost your appetite, stop by the Marché Provençal. In a charming covered market in the Cour Masséna, you’ll find 50 stalls selling souvenirs of your trip (wicker baskets, local jams…).
Day 1 – 3:30 – 4:30 pm: Visit the Picasso Museum
After your stroll, head for the Picasso Museum, also in the old town. Renamed in honor of the Spanish painter in 1966, it is the town’s most important museum. It is housed in the 14th-century Château Grimaldi, formerly the residence of bishops in the Middle Ages, a Roman castrum and the acropolis of the Greek city of Antipolis. The Musée d’Antibes was established in 1925, and in 1946 Pablo Picasso moved his studio there at the suggestion of the curator, before returning to Paris. Productions from this period formed the basis of the museum’s collection, which was subsequently enriched by works by other artists such as Joan Miró, Bernard Pagès and Nicolas de Staël. We were delighted to rediscover these great names in contemporary art!
During our visit, we discovered Picasso’s paintings(Satyre, faune et centaure au trident, Nature Morte à la bouteille, à la sole et à l’aiguière…), but also a little-known part of his work, in decorative art and sculpture. Our favorite? The collection of ceramics he created in Vallauris in the late 1940s!
See our article dedicated to the Picasso Museum.
Day 1 – 4:30pm-6pm: Stroll along the Promenade de l’Amiral de Grasse
Adjacent to the Musée Picasso, the Promenade de l’Amiral de Grasse is a must-see in Antibes! Running along the seafront ramparts, it links Plage de la Gravette to Plage du Ponteil. We were delighted by this walk, which offers magnificent panoramic views of the towers of Old Antibes, Cap d’Antibes and the Mediterranean as far as the eye can see! On your way, you’ll pass by the Musée d’Archéologie and see a reproduction of a painting by Picasso, entitled Pêche de Nuit à Antibes (Night Fishing in Antibes). It serves as a reminder of the artist’s time in Antibes and the fact that these Mediterranean landscapes were a great source of inspiration for artists!

Option 2 – Antibes’ best landscapes
Do you love nature and beautiful landscapes? We’ve put together this itinerary especially for you! Contrary to popular belief, Antibes, although urbanized, has some splendid natural areas. Discover them now! For this itinerary, we recommend taking the car (especially for Cap d’Antibes). If you don’t have one, end your day at Plateau de la Garoupe.
Day 1 – 10am-11am: Take the Promenade de l’Amiral de Grasse
We’ve already mentioned it in the previous section, but the Promenade de l’Amiral de Grasse offers superb panoramic views. We recommend taking a break at Square Albert 1er along the way, to admire the scenery at its best. For us, it’s the ideal place to contemplate Old Antibes, with the tower of the Château de Grimaldi standing out, and the waves crashing against the ramparts. Among them, the Saint-André bastion, built by Vauban in the late 17th century, stands out. It now houses the Archaeology Museum. Watch out for cyclists and continue the walk to Plage du Ponteil.
Day 1 – 11am-12pm: Relaxing at Plage du Ponteil
It’s just a 20-minute walk along the Promenade de l’Amiral de Grasse (easy and flat) to reach Plage du Ponteil from Plage de la Gravette. Plage du Ponteil is our favorite in Antibes Juan-les-Pins, as we think it offers the most beautiful scenery in Antibes. The old town, with the Nomade on Quai Henri Rambaud in the port, stands out against the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. Add to that golden fine sand and turquoise water, and you’ve got an idyllic postcard landscape! Take time to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings.
Day 1 – 12pm-2pm: Lunch by the sea at Bacon’s House
Have these splendid landscapes whetted your appetite? It’s a pleasant 20-minute walk along Plage de la Salis to La Maison de Bacon. This gourmet restaurant is almost an Antibes institution. It was founded in 1948 by the Sordello family, who will own the premises until 2019. They created the identity of this establishment, which is dedicated to showcasing seafood products in a warm atmosphere.
Taken over by Laurent Le Fur, former General Manager of the Lenôtre Group, the restaurant will be renovated in 2021. It features a bar/lounge, lunch/dinner area and a terrace opening onto an exceptional sea view, with Old Antibes and the Mercantour Massif on the horizon. Historic dishes, cooked over a wood fire, but also creations, the menu has reinvented itself under the direction of chef Nicolas Davouze, while preserving its history.
Discover our article on the best restaurants in Antibes.
Day 1 – 2pm-3pm: Enjoying the woods and Plateau de la Garoupe
Have you regained your strength? Then head for Cap d’Antibes! This wooded peninsula, dotted with villas and luxury hotels, separates Antibes from its seaside resort, Juan-les-Pins. First of all, there’s the Bois de la Garoupe, the only wooded area on the Cap, protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral. It offers a refreshing ten-minute stroll among the evergreen oaks. It leads to the Chapelle du Calvaire, then to the Plateau de la Garoupe, some ten metres higher up. Thanks to an orientation table, we were able to make the most of the panorama of old Antibes and Cannes!
On the Plateau de la Garoupe, you can also visit the Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garoupe, open daily from 10am to 6pm. However, our favorite is the beautiful Phare de la Garoupe lighthouse. With its 116 steps, this 1948 limestone lighthouse rises 103 meters above sea level.
Day 1 – 3:00 – 5:30 p.m.: Walking on the Tirepoil Trail
We advise you to use your car for this step. As Cap d’Antibes is a residential area, it’s not always pleasant to walk around, and journey times are long, especially to reach the starting point of the coastal path (30min walk from the Garoupe lighthouse). You can also take the bus (line 2) and get off at the Eden-Roc stop, 15 minutes from the finish of the coastal path at Baie des Milliardaires. For your itinerary, visit the official transport network website here.
Also known as the Sentier de Tirepoil because it’s so exposed to the wind, the coastal path offers around 5km of walking. It links Plage de la Garoupe to Baie des Milliardaires. Along the way, you’ll see some superb coves and enjoy breathtaking views over the Bay of La Napoule.
We loved following this trail, which is a timeless interlude. The Côte d’Azur is densely urbanized, and it’s sometimes hard to find wild spots on the coast. We’ve done just that, with this trail offering superb panoramic views over the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
The route skirts the coast, then becomes steeper and steeper. If you are afraid of heights or have walking difficulties, we do not recommend this walk, which is winding, with many slopes and steps, often on the edge of a cliff. Wear good shoes and stay on the trail to avoid damaging the local flora. Please note that this trail is closed during inclement weather.
Day 1 – 5:30-6:30 p.m.: Admire Plage des Ondes
To finish your day in style, we suggest a moment of relaxation on one of Antibes Juan-les-Pins’ most photogenic beaches: Plage des Ondes. This small beach is part of the Juan-les-Pins seaside resort, which includes many others. But it’s this one, with its transparent waters and tower, that really stood out for us. Although it looks very old, it only dates back to the 1960s, when the beach was privately owned. It is said to have served as a dressing room for actress Martine Carole, during the filming of Un Soir sur la Plage (1961).
Option 3 – Antibes: culture and artistic emulation
Antibes is full of beautiful landscapes, but that’s not all! If you’re an art and history buff, this is the itinerary for you! You’ll discover Antibes as a cultural cradle and source of inspiration for many artists and craftsmen.
Day 1 – 10h-11h30: Discover the artisans of Old Antibes
To kick off this day of cultural visits, we suggest a stroll through Vieil Antibes, home to a multitude of artisan workshops. Pottery, engraving, glasswork, jewelry, cabinetmaking, ceramics – every medium is represented! This led to Antibes Juan-les-Pins being awarded the “Ville Métiers d’Art” label in 2017. Take the time to discover these craftsmen and artists in their workshops, as at Villa Fontaine, rue du Haut Castelet. You can also go to Boulevard de l’Aiguillon, where you’ll find the “Casemates de la Création”. We invite you to visit the city’s official website here to find out more about each of these workshops.
The town organizes regular guided tours of these crafts. Consult the agenda on the official website here.
Day 1 – 11:30am-12:30pm: Visit the Picasso Museum
Continue your day with a visit to the Picasso Museum. As mentioned above, Picasso temporarily set up his studio in the Château des Grimaldi in 1945, at the suggestion of the curator at the time. On his departure, the painter left the museum 23 paintings and 44 drawings, forming the basis of the collection. He then tried his hand at new media, notably ceramics, in Vallauris. The collection was later expanded to include contemporary sculptures, such as the bronze by Arman on the museum’s first floor. Entitled À ma jolie and created in 1982, it pays tribute to the work of Picasso.
Don’t forget to visit the Château’s terrace, which offers a superb sea view. We enjoyed strolling around and admiring the modern sculptures on display (works by Germaine Richier, Joan Miró…).
For more information, read our article on the Musée Picasso.
Day 1 – 12:30-14:30: Lunch at Michelin-starred restaurant Le Figuier in Saint-Esprit.
We recommend sampling the creative cuisine of chef Christian Morisset at his 1-star restaurant Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit, just a 2-minute walk from the Musée Picasso. This pastry chef-turned-chef cut his teeth at the Terrasse de l’Hôtel Juana in Antibes, succeeding Alain Ducasse in this 2-Michelin-starred establishment. At Figuier de Saint-Esprit, he works with his 2 sons, one specializing in gastronomy, the other in pastry-making. In a way, then, this is a family restaurant. It is, however, highly technical, rigorous and refined.
We opted for the 8-step discovery menu because we went in the evening, but lunch options are also available! For example, we tasted a succulent foie gras with a pear chutney and acacia honey emulsion. The setting is equally enchanting, with its intimate cobbled courtyard and stone walls. Garlanded trees, roses and candles on tables create an intimate, poetic atmosphere.
Day 1 – 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm: Alternative 1 – Contemporary art trail
For your afternoon, here are our suggestions for a visit if you’re a lover of contemporary art:
- Musée Fernand Léger: if you appreciate cubism, we strongly recommend a visit to this national museum, which boasts the largest collection of works by the artist. We were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the works on display, including decorative art and paintings from the artist’s early career, marked by Neo-Impressionism. Located in the neighboring town of Biot, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions.
- Fondation Hartung Bergman: key figures of 20th-century abstraction, artists Hans Hartung (1904-1989) and Anna-Eva Bergman (1909-1987) acquired an olive grove in Antibes in the 1960s. On a 2-hectare site, they set up a villa and their workshops, where they lived and worked until their deaths. The foundation was created in 1994 to promote and disseminate the work of 2 artists. A visit will immerse you in a magical place where architecture is in perfect harmony with nature. Please note that the foundation is only open from May to September.

Day 1 – 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm: Alternative 2 – History and Culture course
Not a fan of contemporary art? No worries! We’ve put together some other suggestions for visits that are more historically and culturally oriented.
- Musée d’Archéologie: housed in the Bastion Saint-André, built by Vauban at the end of the 17th century, this museum displays objects from underwater and land excavations that we found fascinating! The chronological tour takes visitors back to the origins of the town of Antibes. Our dedicated article will be available soon!
- Musée Peynet et du Dessin Humoristique (Peynet and Humorous Drawing Museum ): discover the world of cartoonist Raymond Peynet and some thirty other cartoonists (Daumier, Plantu, Sempé…). Our dedicated article will be available soon!
- Musée de la Carte Postale: a permanent audio-guided tour, complemented by temporary exhibitions, reveals the evolution of postcards. We were able to observe some superb old maps! Our dedicated article will be available soon.
Option 4 – Antibes with children
Visiting Antibes with the family? Here’s an itinerary that’s just right for you and your kids!
Day 1 – 10h-11h30: Visit the Fort Carré or the Picasso Museum
To kick off the day, we recommend a cultural visit to either the Fort Carré or the Picasso Museum. In fact, they both offer tours and visit tools designed for younger visitors:
- Fort Carré: an ideal family visit. Games and game books on the history of the fort, and more specifically on the inscriptions left by the soldiers who lived there, are available here. Family and children’s workshops are organized on a regular basis. Visit the official website here to find out more.
- Musée Picasso: we recommend you download the museum’s official app, which includes a children’s trail. It is available here and in 4 languages (French, English, German, Italian). A games booklet, which you can find here, can also help your child discover this must-see museum in Antibes.
Day 1 – 11:30am-12:30pm: Take a ride on the Antibes Little Tourist Train
After a cultural tour rich in learning, it’s time to relax! We recommend that you discover Antibes and Juan-les-Pins by tourist train. Starting from the heart of the old town, you won’t want to miss it! See program and availability.
Day 1 – 12:30-14:30: Lunch in a kid-friendly restaurant
Hungry after a busy morning? Here are our favorite kid-friendly addresses in Antibes:
- Restaurant La Petite Escale: this warm, intimate restaurant in Old Antibes offers refined starters and dishes (crème brûlée with foie gras, shoulder of lamb, scallops…). The children’s menu includes a dish of the day, a choice of syrup and 2 scoops of ice cream. The plates are generous, well presented and affordable!
- Restaurant Nananère (formerly P’tit Cageot): we love its casual decor, with the corner illustrated with heroes from comic strips (Asterix, Gaston Lagaffe…) or video games (Super Mario…). On the à la carte menu, you’ll find generous, innovative dishes, with Mediterranean inspirations and a few from further afield (Greek, Mexican…). The children’s dishes (mac and cheese or breaded chicken supreme with butternut purée) are sure to please!
Day 1 – 2:30 – 3:30 pm: Visit the Musée de l’École
This community museum presents a classroom from yesteryear, with original objects (maps, textbooks, pupils’ work…). Antibes residents can rediscover their class photos, while other visitors can rediscover the classroom materials of yesteryear (introduction to writing with quill pens and purple ink, sewing notebooks, wooden satchels…). This tour is ideal for families, as it encourages intergenerational dialogue. Children discover the school of older generations! Please note that this museum is only open at weekends.
Day 1 – 3:30-6:30 pm: Alternative 1 – Go to an amusement park
For the rest of the afternoon, you can opt for a trip to an amusement park. You’ll be spoilt for choice in Antibes! We recommend you take advantage of the attractions at Antibes Land, the largest amusement park on the Côte d’Azur. We chose not to visit Marineland, or the other parks it owns (Adventure Golf and Kids Island). We’ll let you make up your own mind.
Day 1 – 4:00-6:30 pm: Alternative 2 – Enjoy the beaches of Juan-les-Pins and their activities
If you’re not a thrill-seeker, we recommend you take advantage of the great beaches of Juan-les-Pins. Go after 4pm to avoid the afternoon when the sun’s rays are most intense. We recommend you head for the main beach of Juan-les-Pins, taking time to pass by the Jardin de la Pinède. There are lots of games for the kids!
If you’re more interested in water sports, we recommend a visit to Plage du Soleil, where you can hire a range of equipment for family fun (towed buoys, pedalos…).
