- sskrollOrlando, Florida1,103 contributionsGreat ExperienceA great place to visit as there is so much history there. You can see Fort Carre from outside the walls of the city. There is also a great Provencal Market that is a must visit for all kinds of food. Also stop in at the Perrin Ravioli for some great pasta as well as other food items. Very friendly people. There is a harbor right outside the city walls to walk around and there is a section outside the walls as well with some great murals.Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 1, 2023

- BackinBracknellBracknell, United Kingdom1,590 contributionsBeautiful old townSpent a couple of hours exploring the old town which is lovely, especially the narrow streets and alleyways near the cathedral, with little courtyards and tiny houses, many decorated with plants and flowers. Then took a walk along the Promenade Amiral de Grass which runs by the sea from the Musee Picasso (also highly recommended). Great coastal views and more beautiful buildings plus some interesting sculptures.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 19, 2024

We parked at the underground parking by h the marina and Old Town - this was easy, spacious and very clean. We went to the Ferris wheel to see the area, but it wasn’t operational that afternoon. We walked to the Promenade on the medieval wall and wanted to see “The Nomad” scull, but it was blocked off for renovations. We walked past the Picasso museum and seeing the line up to get in, we passed by, but the outside was nice (old church). Inside the Old Town, I tried to buy a few postcards and small items with my card, but I was told ver rudely on 2 businesses, that there was a 6euro minimum unless you had cash. It was very jarring to be treated this way, but they mustn’t have needed any of my small business. We decided to have a gelato at a spot and left the town.
Not very friendly, but the views are pretty.

I stayed in old town Antibes for 12 days and absolutely loved it! A lively beautiful small town by the sea. You can stroll around the city through the alleys and explore its beauty. I loved the easy pace of life, as well as the fact that local people always wore a smile on their faces. The old town itself has many cute small cafe/bristot and restaurants. The only downside for me was the fact that if you're a night owl (like me) there is not much to do after 21:00.

What a beautiful historic city Antibes is. Are you a fan of old fortified towns, small boutiques, fine restaurants and narrow streets? Then Antibes meets your expectations.
We parked in the Q park parking garage near the harbor. Not cheap 4-5 euros per hour, but spacious and safe. From there you are directly in the old town. We strolled through the streets of Antibes, drank an espresso at the Vieille Ville monument, took a beautiful walk on the Promenade Amiral de Grasse and entered many shops. Ice cream parlors sufficient for a welcome refreshment.
We had a drink on the Rue Thuret after which we went back to our accommodation.
We describe this city as historic, cozy and lively and definitely worth it!

The beach is cute as well with a little space to the right of the beach where you can sit on a rock at the bottom of the castle walls.

I'll be scathingly honest on this one. The cote d'azur is peppered with charming old towns and seaside old towns. So, as a longtime resident of the golfe of St Tropez, I don't quite understand the hype. Sure, it's pretty, but it's nothing special. The alleys aren't as colourful as Saint tropez, Ramatuelle, or Bormes. The houses aren't as ancient (or at least ancient-looking) as Eze, Saint Paul De Vence, St-Agnes, or Coaraze. I could continue of all the areas in which it just isn't a contender. It just doesn't have a "wow"factor so strong it makes the hordes insignificant.

Such an endearing little town by the sea. The atmosphere is pleasant and calming. We return to the history visible through the ramparts in particular, the sea, the blue sky and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The long shopping street leads to the port and takes us through various typical and varied shops. A real favorite for this old town of Antibes.

You must visit Antibes old town fantastic, narrow streets plenty of bars and restaurants. The market from early in the morning till early afternoon is fantastic meat cheese, vegetables spices you name it it’s here early evening. The market is cleared and the restaurants put out all their tables and chairs out for the evening diners . there is a public beach on the other side of the old town wall. as well as the marina full of expensive boats, don’t miss it.

Is Old Antibes a realistic destination for a person on crutches? I have plans to visit this weekend but just sprained my ankle. Thanks
Written June 14, 2022
I think you won't face an issue with it because there are no hills/slopes or stairs you'll have to climb up within the city. If you take it easy, I think you'll be able to enjoy the beauty of old town. Plus there are a lot of bistros/cafe in the 2-3 main squares of old town where you can have a rest while enjoying the scenery and its people

When is the best time to go to Antibes? The day time or evening? Will shops be open on Sunday and Mondays?
Written July 22, 2018
I recommend going late in the afternoon, most shops are open and you can spend some time roaming through the old town.
