The main railway station at Antibes, in its terracotta livery, is the main way in and out of the city. It is five to ten minutes walk away from the old town and the harbour, being on the edge of the "modern" commercial centre. Trains run fairly frequently (subject to the vagaries of timetables noted below) east from here to Nice, Monaco and Ventimiglia, and west to Juan le Pins, Cannes, St Raphael and ultimately Marseilles St Charles. French railway timetables are a law unto themselves and defy any expectation of "regular service". Forget it. You will find two in short succession and nothing for an hour, then a TGV comes along which you are technically not allowed to travel without a reservation, which you don't need because the train is by now empty, but its a further half hour for a regular TER service. Most people will chance it on the TGV, but its perhaps wise to stand in the corridor in the event inspectors pounce - no-one can accuse you of occupying a seat without the required reservation. I prefer to avoid the railways late at night on this stretch of the Riviera - the smaller stations are not staffed and I have found myself the only person in two or three carriages. Newspapers here have reported incidents on board late night trains and I think there is a question over personal safety. However make your own judgement. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Unfortunately the best way to travel around Antibes is to have its own car : the public transportation system is very limited : If you want to go to the other cities around (Cannes, Nice, monaco), you can catch a train but if you want to visit the smaller places, You've got to have your car or own transport.

The best way to see Antibes is by foot. There is so much too see that there is no need for a transport. Many small alleys with unique stores and restaurants are only accessible by walking. So put on a trusty pair of shoe. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I took a sleeper train from Antibes to Port Bou, it was magical. I stayed awake the whole trip admiring the beautiful unspoiled coast of France at night. The shimmering stars were flickering and reflecting on the dark vast ocean and the mountains were raised in salutation for beauty of mother nature.
