🇫🇷 3-Day French Riviera Itinerary
un, lemons & luxury—all by public transport! ✨ ✈️ Day 0: Arrival in Nice Fly into Nice Airport (7km from downtown). Transport hack: Take tram to Grand Arénas, buy 3-day South Azur Pass (€35, covers trains/buses in Nice, Menton, Cannes, Antibes). 🌞 Day 1: Nice 🌊 Promenade des Anglais Blue chairs, striped parasols, and Mediterranean vibes. 🏰 Old Town (Vieux Nice) Gelato shops, souvenir hunting, and shady alleys. ⛰️ Castle Hill Sunrise = best light for Baie des Anges views! 🍋 Day 2: Menton → Monaco 1️⃣ Menton (Lemon Paradise!) Train from Nice → Walk 20 mins to Old Town (wear sunscreen!). Must-do: Lemon souvenirs + DEMONTIS gelato (tangy lemon flavor!). 2️⃣ Monaco (Glitz & F1 Tracks) Train from Menton (30 mins) → Grab free tourist passport at the station. Highlights: Monte Carlo Casino (dress code enforced!). Prince’s Car Collection 🚗. Saint-Martin Gardens 🌿. Warning: Most EU SIMs don’t work—Vodafone does! 🎬 Day 3: Antibes → Cannes 1️⃣ Antibes (Coastal Gem) Train from Nice (20 mins) → Bus to Fontaine for cliffside hikes. Don’t miss: Picasso Museum 🎨. Monet’s viewpoint over the sea. 2️⃣ Cannes (Film Star Vibes) Marilyn Monroe Mural (by the station). Palais des Festivals (tiny but iconic red carpet!). Cannes Sign (quick photo op—skip the hike if tired!). 🌵 Bonus Option: Èze Cactus gardens (close early—best paired with just 1 city/day). 💡 Pro Tips Nice Castle Hill: Go early AM for soft light. Antibes hike: Bring water + swimsuit for impromptu dips! Cannes: Skip the sign if short on time—coastal cafes > crowds. #FrenchRiviera #TravelGuide #NiceToCannes #HiddenGems #NoCarNeeded
