About Cannes
Cannes is one of the most well-known French cities to the rest of the world, courtesy of its annually held international film festival. However, the film festival is far from being the city's only highlight, which also hosts many other shows, exhibitions and trade fairs.
Cannes is a town on the French Riviera, so it is somewhat hard to reach by road during the popular seasons. It is better to take the train from neighbouring cities. Buses can also be taken to Cannes from Nice. The journey takes about two hours, but the tickets are ridiculously cheap, going at a mere €1 per person.
When you are at Cannes, it is a much better idea to walk than take a car, because of parking and navigational difficulties imposed by the latter.
The beaches and ports of Cannes are beautiful, and are definitely worth visiting. The restaurants serve delicious food, but be mentally prepared to be overcharged in most cases. The Italian restaurants at Cannes have menus which go much easier on the wallet.
The hotels of Cannes are expensive, so if you plan to stay for a while, rent out an apartment – not only will it will be cheaper, but you will also have more privacy and comfort.
