The list

  1. Abbaye de Lérins — Cannes attraction
    Cannes · ★ 4.7

    Abbaye de Lérins

    Abbaye de Lérins sits on Île Saint-Honorat, the smaller of Cannes' two Lérins islands, reachable only by a 15-20 minute ferry from Cannes' Vieux Port. 4.7★ (1,403 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.

  2. La Malmaison — Cannes attraction
    Cannes · ★ 4.3

    La Malmaison

    La Malmaison on La Croisette in Cannes is a small municipal art gallery inside a former belle-époque hotel, open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Monday) with a midday break from 1pm to 2pm. 4.3★ (489 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.

  3. Mural - Cannes Cinema — Cannes attraction
    Cannes · ★ 4.5

    Mural - Cannes Cinema

    The Cannes Cinema mural sits on Quai Saint-Pierre, right where the old port meets the Palais des Festivals, and it's a five-minute stop rather than a destination in itself — pair it with a stroll along the quay.

  4. vue depuis Le Suquet — Cannes hidden gem
    Cannes · ★ 4.8

    vue depuis Le Suquet

    Climb to Le Suquet, Cannes' old hilltop quarter, and the payoff is the view from beside the Musée de La Castre and its square Tour du Suquet: the whole Baie de Cannes laid out below, La Croisette curving along the water, the Îles de Lérins floating offshore, and the Estérel massif turning red at sunset.

  5. Croix des gardes — Cannes attraction
    Cannes · ★ 4.7

    Croix des gardes

    Croix des Gardes is a wooded hill park on the western edge of Cannes, reached by car or a steep walk up Avenue de la Croix des Gardes, and it stays open around the clock.
