Getting around Cannes

How to get around the city during Festival week.

City bus

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 €1.80, 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.

Night bus

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. More information coming soon, but in the meantime, feel free to reach out to Delegates team if you have any questions.
