- Place Benidorm – near the offices of travel agencies.
The bus running between the center of Cannes and the airport of the neighboring city has the number “210”. Considering that there are only two bus routes between these cities, the three-digit numbering looks quite mysterious. The bus takes an hour on the way, you can get off it in Nice at any of the stops, and it is not necessary to go to the airport.
As for the prices, they are quite considerable. This is due to the fact that the “210” bus has luggage spaces, and they are included in the ticket price. You will have to pay for luggage transportation regardless of whether you have it or not.

The price of a taxi ride between the two cities is comparable to a voyage on a pleasure tourist boat, which takes travelers along the coast from June to October. That is, a taxi trip will cost 70 euros or more, the exact cost depends on the length of the route and, paradoxically, on the taxi driver.
Cannes, like other coastal cities, is filled with private cab drivers working under license. Moreover, traveling in a car, for example, from KiwiTaxi or other large companies, is not always more economical than traveling with a local private owner. A taxi will arrive in 40 minutes, but the time in this case is relative, since the duration depends on both the route itself and the traffic congestion.

About other methods
If you want to get from one city to another in an unusual way, you need to go to the offices of travel agencies in Place Benidorm. This is the center of Cannes. Here you can find an exciting option for horseback riding, purchase an eco-tour, or choose something individual and unique.
There are practically no restrictions on possibilities; employees of travel agencies can organize a voyage on electric bikes - this is something between a motorcycle and a moped, such transport runs on a battery and solar panels, and a voyage by helicopter and, in principle, everything that the soul of a romantic-minded traveler desires. Of course, there is no criterion for prices, but given how busy the eco-trail can be, they are unlikely to be too high.
Those who would like to try ecotourism should take care of purchasing a tour in advance, since the number of tourists on the route at a time is limited. This is a reasonable measure, since along the way there are parking areas, sanitary facilities and much more that cannot accommodate more than a certain number of people.
As for a sea trip, the cost of traveling on a pleasure tourist boat is 46-61 euros, the age discount system is similar to that on buses. The boat takes you from Cannes to Nice in 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it makes sense to travel the full route, because the boat goes around all the resort towns, and this is a full-fledged sightseeing tour.

As for yachts and boats that take travelers privately, their owners usually wait for their passengers in small cafes near the piers. You just need to approach one of the ship owners or the bartender in a cafe and explain that you would like to get to a neighboring city.
