🌞 Day Trip from Nice to Antibes — Coastal Escape Guide

1. 🚆 Getting There

* Take the train from Nice-Ville station to Antibes — it’s a quick and scenic 20-minute ride along the coast. Trains run frequently throughout the day.
* You can also drive or take a bus, but the train offers the best sea views.

2. 🌊 Stroll the Old Town

* Start your visit wandering through the charming Old Town with its cobbled streets, pastel houses, and local shops.
* Stop at the Marché Provençal, the daily market filled with cheeses, olives, flowers, and spices — perfect for a snack or picnic supplies.

3. 🏛️ Culture and Art

* Visit the Picasso Museum inside the Château Grimaldi. Picasso lived and worked here in 1946, and the collection captures his connection to the sea and light of the Riviera.
* The terrace views over the Mediterranean are spectacular.

4. 🏖️ Coastal Walks and Beaches

* Walk along the old city walls for amazing views of the turquoise sea and the Alps in the distance.
* Spend some time at Plage de la Gravette, a sandy public beach just steps from the Old Town. Bring a towel, swim, or just relax under the sun.

5. ⛵ Port Vauban and the Billionaires’ Quay

* Visit the harbor to see some of the world’s most luxurious yachts anchored beside fishing boats. It’s one of the largest marinas in Europe and a great spot for photos.

6. ☕ Food and Drinks

* Have lunch or an afternoon drink in a seaside café. Try local specialties like socca, fresh seafood, or rosé from Provence.
* For dessert, grab ice cream from one of the Old Town gelaterias and enjoy it while walking the promenade.

7. 🌅 Sunset and Return

* End your day at the ramparts or on the Cap d’Antibes coastal path, where the sunset turns the sea gold and pink.
* Head back to Nice by evening — the short train ride along the glowing Riviera coast is the perfect end to the day.

💛 Antibes is the ideal day trip from Nice — relaxed, beautiful, and full of art, history, and sea views that capture the essence of the Côte d’Azur.
