By bus
Getting around Cannes is not a problem at all. The city is well equipped with an efficient bus system the only public transportation available in town that provides service not only in the city but also to neighboring La Bocca, Le Cannet and Mandelieu-La Napoule. The bus companies include STU de Cannes Bus Azur, Bus Azur, CTM Cannes La Bocca and Beltrame. They all have scheduled services with a frequency of a bus every 15 minutes. Tickets can be purchased on the bus or at the bus stations and cost â¬1 per ride or you can purchase a Carte 10 which gives you 10 reduced-rate tickets.But be careful which fare you buy as buses in Cannes can be very expensive.
By car
Cannes has all the usual hire car rental establishments Hertz, Avis, Budget where you can rent a car if you wish. Parking is generally not an issue. Although you will have to pay, it is recommended that you use one of the off street parking garages as this is far better than searching fruitlessly for a parking lot on the street. Moreover Cannes has a truly horrible one-way system and it is much easier to walk. The Fontville parking gives good access to the port and old town.
If you are more interested in the Croisette and/or dislike walking, then there are other parking garages that are available, like the one by the station: one of the best is the one underneath the Palais des Festivales, and the one under the Grey d'Albion hotel in Rue des Serbes.
By taxi
Taxis can be hailed on the street or you can order them by phone calling Taxis de Cannes at +33 04929 9272. Fares are pre-established with an opening charge of â¬2.35 and subsequent charges of about â¬3.00 per mile.
On foot
Walking can quite often be the fastest mode of transport in Cannes. It also gives you the chance to stumble upon hidden sights that you may miss whilst being anchored to a bus or car.nhj
