Some of the best kept Cannes traveller destinations include exploring the nearby Lerins Islands and visiting the Musee de la Castre, which was constructed by monks in the 12th century and has a pretty tower offering the most spectacular views across Cannes Bay. Getting around Cannes is easy on foot, and this is probably the best way to explore as the compact seaside town can become very congested during peak season. Regular local bus services are affordable and operate to all the main towns and villages on the Cote d'Azur and inland destinations, too. The Cannes rail station is available for high-speed train journeys as well as local trips.
