Getting around Cannes

The Palm Bus is a public bus that serves Cannes and the surrounding area. Check the routes and timetables to find the best route to suit you. Single tickets cost around €1.50, depending on your journey. The Palm Bus website has details on how to book and pay, as well as a handy map for both the night and day buses. 

To make planning even simpler, the Palm Bus app is available for Android and iOS. This app provides live navigation, up-to-date schedules and real-time route tracking to ensure a hassle-free travel experience in and around Cannes.

Need to get around after dark? We know it can often be difficult to book transport in areas outside of Cannes during the Festival, especially late in the evening.

That’s why we’ve introduced a complimentary night bus service that will operate every evening of the Festival (Monday to Friday), every 45 minutes from 10pm until 2am. The bus will depart from Prom. de la Pantiero and serve Juan Le Pins, Mondelieu and Le Cannet, and run exclusively for Cannes Lions delegates.

A map with full details will be available soon.
