Ways to save
- Stay in an apartment or guesthouse with a kitchen to save on food costs; cooking your own meals can reduce daily expenses from €40-€60 (restaurant) to €10-€15 (supermarket).
- Visit during the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) for lower accommodation prices, often 20-30% less than peak summer rates, with hotel rooms dropping from €150-€200+ to €100-€150.
- Utilize local buses to explore Antibes and nearby towns like Juan-les-Pins and Cannes; a single bus ticket costs around €1.50, significantly cheaper than taxis (which can be €20+ for short distances).
- Pack a picnic from a local boulangerie or supermarket (e.g., a baguette, cheese, ham for €5-€8) and enjoy it at Plage de la Salis or Cap d'Antibes for a free scenic meal instead of a €20-€30 lunch at a beachfront restaurant.
- Take advantage of free activities like wandering the Old Town (Vieil Antibes), exploring the ramparts, visiting the Port Vauban, and enjoying the public beaches, saving on entrance fees for paid attractions.
- Look for 'plat du jour' (dish of the day) specials at local restaurants, often a more affordable lunch option (€12-€18) compared to a full à la carte dinner (€30-€50+).
- Consider walking or cycling for short distances; Antibes is very walkable, and renting a bike for a day can cost around €15-€20, saving on transportation costs while allowing you to explore at your own pace.
