The description of Antibes attractions includes monuments of different eras and completely different cultural trends. However, there are several places in Antibes, rightfully called the visiting cards of the Côte d'Azur. First of all, it is the Carré Fort, built back in 1565 in the form of a four-pointed star. It was here that Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned in 1794.
The highest landmark in the resort, located at the top of Cape Antibes, is the Garoup Lighthouse. It is from here that you will enjoy a stunning view of the sea and the coastline. In good weather you can see the outline of Bonaparte's birthplace, the island of Corsica.
You should definitely visit the Grimaldi Castle. The castle was a bishop's residence in the Middle Ages, and for over 50 years it has been home to the Pablo Picasso Museum.
All the famous sights of Antibes are captured on numerous photos and videos, you can familiarize yourself with them before your trip, and then compare your impressions.
A map of Antibes with sights is available for download on the Internet, so it is a good idea to get it in advance. If you are traveling around the city without a guide, you will just need to buy a booklet with a description of Antibes sights.
