Villefranche-sur-Mer

Key attractions include the Citadel of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the Rue Obscure (a covered street), the colorful old town, and the Plage des Marinières. Boat tours around the harbor and along the coastline are also highly recommended.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons, from April to May and September to October, when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Summer (June-August) is hot and busy, while winter can be mild but with fewer activities.

The easiest way to reach Villefranche-sur-Mer is via Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), which is a short train or bus ride away. Alternatively, you can arrive by train, with the Villefranche-sur-Mer station located close to the town center. Driving is also an option, but parking can be limited and expensive.
