France is one of the most beautiful resorts in which all tourists in the world strive to visit. The most popular destinations for travelers are the cities of Nice and Antibes.
If you are traveling in France on your own and your budget is very modest, you can forget about expensive trips in a rented car, since such services are quite expensive. In this case, it is better to resort to the most budgetary options, such as public transport. One of them is a direct shuttle bus that departs from Nice to Cannes, stopping in the city of Antibes.
Bus to Antibes
Regular bus 200 serves the entire coastline west of Nice. It starts from the stop "Albert I / Verdun", which is located in the heart of Nice. Traveling along this route, you can visit such cities as: Saint-Lauren-du-Var, Antibes, Golfe Juan, Villeneuve Loubet, Biot Cagnes-sur-Mer and others. The final station of the regular bus is the Cannes bus station.
The distance from Nice to Antibes is 28 kilometers if you follow the A8 motorway. If you go on a different road, it will increase by 10 km.
In order not to get confused in the stations of French cities, you need to buy a ticket to the stop "Rue Directeur Chaudon". The road to the city takes about one hour, but it can take a little longer due to the fact that the bus constantly passes through small cities and winds through the streets in the mass of public transport.
Such a trip will cost a tourist 1.5 euros.
In addition, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday there is a regular bus called Noctambus, which departs from Nice Airport. The final stop is the city of Cannes. The route passes through the city of Antibes and Juan les Pins. The bus runs every half an hour, from 23:30 to 4:10. In Antibes, it stops at the train station.
All tickets in this direction can be bought from the bus driver.
The price for this flight also does not exceed 1.5 euros.
Other ways to get to Antibes from Nice
In addition to the bus, tourists can use other means of transport, such as trains and taxis.
It should be said right away that a taxi ride will be one of the fastest options to get to Antibes, but the cost of such a trip will be up to 80 euros. Travel time is 25-30 minutes.
If you need a more budgetary option, it is better to choose an electric train (TER). It departs from Nice's main train station and travels through Antibes and Juan les Pins. Travel time on such transport will be from 30 to 40 minutes and will cost 4-5 euros.
The most expensive option is a trip in a rented car. Such services are far from uncommon and are in great demand. This journey can take 20-30 minutes. At the same time, you will reach your destination with maximum comfort. The cost of such a trip depends on the model of the rented vehicle and starts from 70 euros per day.
