Loved the experience there! It was very hot the day we went, so we decided to change our shoes into open once, bad choice! Make sure you have your sneakers on, and be ready to walk a lot. We spent 2 hours inside and weren’t able to see everything, take into account a 3/3.5 hours visit, also take with you something to drink and maybe a snack, you can go all the way down to the cafe and consume your own things as well. The price of the ticket is very good considered the amount of things you can see, my suggestion (OF COURSE) is spring, to be able to enjoy fully all the flowers and roses that are in the garden.
Visited end of July. Perhaps there was a water restriction as the gardens seemed dry. Places needed trimming or at least tidied up. A bit run down. Paths and stairs need renovating. A few areas/paths closed. I would love to visit again when not so dry and renovations finished. Free parking limited to the street. Lovely view of the sea.
What an incredibly beautiful property. This garden is absolutely worth a visit. It's best to allocate at least 1hr to visit and discover the beauty of this garden! Parking options are a bit limited and visitors need to park alongside the main road.
I love botanical gardens and try to visit at least a new one each vacation. The location of Hanbury botanical gardens is very special, with great views of the Mediterranean sea, and have interesting features, in terms of the antique buildings, plants and decorations (statues, etc) but imo it really needs more care! We visited in August, which I understand is a hot and dry month, but in comparison to other botanical gardens -in the same region- also visited in summer, this one could really gain with more irrigation, plant care, and some details as more labeling of the plants species and some additional informative data (origin, uses, etc) Hope this comment is taken into consideration for improvement.
Would not have missed this botanical gardens. We've spend approximately 3 hours here. The garden is beautiful even at early September. It is true that some parts need some maintenance, but it also gives some extra charm to it. Imagine the potential! A big plus is the silence, especially since the rest of Cote d'Azur is such a busy and extravert environment. Highly appreciated!
Just a fantastic garden and setting. Put aside a few hours for a walk around the garden. Numerous viewpoints and benches to sit and soak up the plants, cactus and trees. Even a cafe!
Very impressive and beautiful. Unfortunately some parts were closed due to storm damage. But still it was a walk of wonder and delight to see all this exotic flora and spectacular views! Take notice there is no dedicated parking lot so be prepared to park your car along the street, hopefully not too far off.
Friendly staff. Entrance fee 10 euro. Garden wasn’t in a good shape, rather random but the views towards the sea and surrounding hills is fantastic. Access to the villa and beach is closed which is a bummer. There is a cafeteria and gift shop. Parking is limited on the street. Happy experience but expected a garden and villa in better shape (now its kind of run down)

Slide 1 of 8
I came to Ventimiglio on a day trip from Marseille. I checked out some of the other beaches on the east side of the town but the rocky beaches did not appeal to me. Lovely sandy beach with showers and a patio serving drinks. Spectacular views while on the way down and while swimming and the water was perfect for June. Well worth the hike down. I came on a thursday and the beach was somewhat busy for a weekday but still plenty of space, but given that it is a very small beach I don't know how crowded it could get on a weekend.
Getting there is a 15min walk, if you don't park far away. Parking in Ventimiglia was challenging. The beach is nice 6/10 if you compare it to other places. The water was clean and warm. There's a bar and a shower, but there was barely any place to lie on the sand, since the sea was high and the sand area is tiny.
The beach is beautiful with tge great views. However, getting there without the elevator could be challenging. The place is rocky so the watershoes are highly recommended.
Nice and beautiful beach! It is free, with fine sand. The only problem is that there is no infrastructure. So, go prepared to protect from the sun, by taking a beach umbrella, and some snacks!
This beach is easy to reach by foot. It takes about 15 minutes to walk. On the beach there is a bar with food and drinks. And a shower, but only one. So there is a queue. Visitors of the beach are families and youngsters. Nice sandy beach with enough room for everyone on a hot summer day. Bring a parasol because there isn’t any shade. To find a parking spot can be a hell of a job. I parked my car eventually on the street partly on the curb nearby.
Like someone else put, a very nice, sandy, shallow beach. It's clean and the water is fairly warm, at least compared to Miramare Beach. There is a small beach bar as well, which accepts cards. Prices on par with cafés/bars. Aka €5 for an aperol spritz and €5-€10 for sandwiches and plates. Beach was crowded when I went; it’s not very large. Lots of families and young crowds. Dogs allowed which I LOVED 🥰 : didn’t see any dog waste anywhere! Wish the same was allowed in the U.K. during high season.
I visited Spiaggia delle Calandre while visiting Ventimiglia, and it was truly a beautiful moment. The beach in itself is relatively small, however the water is incredible - clear, warm, and you can go far out while still standing up. It’s a great experience for anyone who enjoys a secluded beach with a little walk to get there.
Sandy beach with calm wave, very clear water. The sandy part of the beach was very full of people, its better to stay in the rocky side. The entrance is on the side of the museum, then you need to go down a bit, but it was easy and short

Slide 1 of 8
Best 4 € ever spent on a museum visit. The staff was friendly and explained every in detail. The staff was super helpful, and although all signs and explanations in the museum were in Italien+French, they went out of their comfort zone and spoke English. They took a lot of time to show us around the cave and in absolute detail. I would recommend it to everyone.
If you are interested in archeology and the early human experience make your way to this small but very interesting museum. The staff were absolutely amazing. My wife and I walked into the museum and were greeted by a staff member who basically gave us a guided tour of the entire site. We have traveled all over the world and to seven continents and it is experiences like we had today at this museum that keep us excited about the next adventure.
This museum and excavation site is absolutely incredible. This museum sits on a system of caves and so far, only one is accessible, but the area is the epitome of archeological significance. The museum itself is small, and you might have to translate the explanations and descriptions to English. It was inhabited by neaderthals and later, homo sapiens, as evidenced by the findings of projectile weapons. This site also was also part of the transition for homo sapiens from hunter gatherer lifestyles to more agricultural, as they have found evidence of domesticated animals and grains. Given that the landscape changes and where the ocean is now, it once was plains, you can see that the humans lived off of animals about 20,000 years ago, had perfect teeth because of their diet, required no dental work or braces because they chewed a lot (you can see the wear on the back teeth of the fossils) and therefore had straight teeth, were tall (about 6 feet), and had rituals. The museum shows the landscape change, the human remains (some are replicas though), the crafts and tools, and figurines. This has been my favorite museum because of the significance in human history. And it's only 5 euros per person. I hope to see the other caves one day but they look like they're under active excavation.
This is not a big museum. That's okay, just don't be surprised. It's in two separate buildings - new and old. A lot of effort has been put into the displays. I was disappointed I didn't get to walk up to the caves because I checked the opening times on their website after reading the reviews on here, but they had changed the time by an hour. The staff do a good job. In the first museum she spoke Italian and I spoke English, but we got by. In the second museum the man was very informative in English and Italian (maybe more). All the displays are in Italian. But these days Google Translate can solve that. The cost was €4.
Very worthwhile given that it’s only 4 euros per person. Shout out to Jessica in particular, the staff member who happened to be working at the ticket desk when we arrived and was super friendly and helpful and gave us a tour of the caves. She gave the whole explanation in English despite it being out of her comfort zone, and did a great job! Others have mentioned that the signs in the museum are all in Italian & French only, but they seem to have solved this problem by now having a printed pamphlet version with English translations of all the displays, so be sure to ask for that if you don’t read the other languages. If you’re in the area and interested in history definitely give it a go. As long as you’re aware that it’s a small museum and will not take you an hour at most (and that’s only if you read all the detailed info).
I thought this was a very interesting museum to visit. Yes it’s small and you can only visit one cave but it has some good artifacts and interesting info! If you don’t speak Italian just use Google Lens (Translate app).
The Museo Preistorico dei "Balzi Rossi" and the surrounding archaeological area are significant sites located near Menton, specifically in the region known as Balzi Rossi. This museum and archaeological zone are dedicated to the prehistoric period, showcasing the findings from the nearby caves that have revealed important insights into early human habitation. The Balzi Rossi caves, which date back to the Upper Paleolithic era, are famous for their well-preserved artifacts, including tools, ornaments, and remains that provide a glimpse into the lives of prehistoric peoples. The museum houses a rich collection of these artifacts, allowing visitors to explore the evolution of human society in the region. Exhibits include prehistoric tools, artistic objects, and information about the lifestyles of early humans who inhabited the area. In addition to the museum, the archaeological zone offers visitors the opportunity to explore the caves and the surrounding landscape, where significant archaeological excavations have taken place. The site is not only of scientific interest but also provides stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the natural beauty of the area. The Museo Preistorico dei "Balzi Rossi" is an essential destination for those interested in archaeology, history, and anthropology, providing a unique opportunity to learn about the prehistoric past of the region while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
You are lucky if you get the chance to meet Alessandro C for his super friendly smile and immense knowledge for history and Philosophy! He treats visitors with respect like king of Monaco and friendliness like a school buddy He took care specially to explain the artefacts and history of the museum in detail and in English, along with the caves, taking as much time as needed to answer my related and unrelated questions The musuem also provide a English information sheet on request which is a translation of the posters on the wall in Italian, just ask for it ;)

Great market. Loafs of stands. Some real bargains (some absolute tat). Get the train. Don't try to park. Enjoy the experience. Lively and very friendly, but watch your handbag or purse just like any other crowded place. If you are not interested in the goods being sold by the wandering African men, just ignore them and don't respond. Don't even say 'no, thanks'. They will move on with no hard feelings.
I don’t get the hype of this market, we drove all the way from Nice and sat in traffic, then circled for about 2.5 hours to find a parking spot. Upon arrival, I already knew this market was not special. It’s the same stands I’ve seen everywhere else, just loads and loads of them. Everything repeats itself within a street or two, you’re bound to see the same items every corner you look. Didn’t need to make a special trip for this market, wasted half a day.
For someone who is used to old Italian street markets, this one is a really low quality one. It is not Italian but it is Chinese. You can find some good quality Italian leather products but that is all. But this is the opinion of someone who knows the old good Italian street markets. For somebody who is visiting for the first time, it is a marvellous market or for some others like French who does not have this type of street markets in their country it is exceptional.
Typical italian market, good vegetable and fruits, lovely flowers, good prices and lively atmosphere. There is also a very good fish shop. Saturdays and Sundays the market it's open up to 5 pm.

Very rustic yet original with a nice and serene environment, unlike many other touristy places in the region.
Historic church that has undergone several restorations, in the centre of Ventimiglia Alta. Beautifully built and designed, inside and out, and also hosts a small and very old Baptistery beneath. Free to enter and look around.
Very quiet but awesome interior. The exterior street, buildings, is very unappealing, the area is a falling apart mess. Facades crumbling, exposed rebar, ugly. The streets are tiny but deserted, just a few shops about, folks hanging around, smoking. But do go inside the church. The very rough stone exposed, dirty, crumbling mortar, showing its age and its shear mass. Nothing spectacular but a little grace in an otherwise mundane little Italian town. Folks were here long, long ago and they spent a lot of effort (time, money) to make something that will last. They was no compromise, each rock, each stone, cut, worked, levered and lifted, clamped, mortared...move on. Hard to find anybody doing that anywhere, anymore.
Beautiful cathedral with old baptist chamber. The base of the church was build in 11th century (you can see fragments of the original cathedral in basement down)
A true gem for the lovers of the authentic roman style...with a very few visitors...
The oldest cathedral in Ventimiglia, must visit site!! See the 8th century crypt
Very historical church and it's located in a high place in an also historical area, worth a visit
A good place to cool down, enjoy the architecture, and ask for forgiveness

I just recently received my order from them last week and I am very pleased with the quality of the plant. I also received a free plant! :-) Customer service is also fantastic and was very helpful regarding my questions since it was my first time ordering a plant outside of Germany. Looking forward to ordering more from them.
You think you've seen a cactus store, then you visit Cactus Mania, just wow! Here's a breakdown It's massive, they have plants everywhere I'm sure I missed some, and the front display scream "We mean business" just gorgeous!. The staff are great. I'll be back. Oh! did I mention the prices are awesome 10 out of 10 CactusMania.
i didnt expect that they have so many collection of cactus, with so many type and size. incridible big and really nice place. worth to visit 👍🏽😍
An incredible amount of cacti and very nice staff, don't miss it if you're in the area.
I recently made an order on the website. Great plant choices, very interesting collection, and the prices are relatively good compared to other vendors of rare cacti that I was able to find on the internet. My order arrived via GLS very quickly, just after a couple of working days in perfect condition. The packaging was well done. The little gift in plus was also well appreciated! The customer service is also very nice, they answered me very quickly on WhatsApp and always with a very positive attitude. Overall it's been a great customer experience, I'm happy to discover them and hope to make a visit to the nursery as soon as I can so I can avoid the shipping costs. :)
2022 Update: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 I went back to this one of a kind place and, this time, the staff was super helpful and very welcoming. Plus the plants are gorgeous. Well worth the drive to Ventimiglia. So happy to bring back home a few new gems for my garden & already thinking about my next visit! --- 2021 To all the cactus lovers out there, this place is incredible: gorgeous plants as far as the eye can see, some truly spectacular & rare species too. Upon our last visit, the staff was not very warm or attentive... but it might have been a bad day. If that place had a few cactus senseis eager to share their passion with their customers it would be heaven on earth!
Putting some paper with different working hours on the door and not changing it on the website and in Google is really not helpful. We are not traveling back because of misleading information.
Amazing!! Never thought I'd be writing a review for cacti, but here I am. Amazing selection, and staff was very friendly. We spoke zero Italian, but the staff was accommodating from the start. We hiked 40 minutes up the road and were about to head back when the owner offered us a ride back to the train station. Thank you Italy, and thank you Cactus Mania for being so welcoming! We'll be back!

Very interesting, smallish site. It's in the process of being dug up. The most amazing part of our visit, there was nobody else on the entire site. The only two visitors were us. About 11 am, I would expect it to be more popular. But very pleasant visit.
An accessible piece of history.
Great little vestige. I highly recommend of you enjoy walking inside of ancient ruines.
Very small and access blocked. Better Roman ruins elsewhere.
Fine but the theatre was not open
(Translated by Google) A remarkable place. We can see some remains of the town of Albintimilium (or Albium Intemelium), Roman capital of the city of the Ligurians Intemelians. In addition to the ancient theater, remains of thermal baths, mosaics and even some fragments of the late-Republican surrounding wall are visible there. In the small museum, numerous discoveries are exhibited, accompanied by valuable explanations, reconstructions, videos, numerous plans and models. There is something for everyone, experts, curious people and children alike. The only drawback is that these remains are visible discontinuously, separated from each other by a major road and modern buildings. (Original) Un lieu remarquable. On peut y voir quelques vestiges de la ville d'Albintimilium (ou Albium Intemelium), capitale romaine de la cité des Ligures Intéméliens. Outre le théâtre antique, des vestiges de thermes, des mosaïques ou encore quelques fragments du mur d'enceinte tardo-républicaine y sont visibles. Dans le petit musée de nombreuses découvertes y sont exposées, agrémentés de précieuses explications, reconstitutions, videos, de nombreux plans et maquettes.. Chacun y trouve son compte, tout autant les experts, que les curieux ou les enfants.. Seul inconvénient, ces vestiges sont visibles de manière discontinue, séparés les uns des autres par une route importante et des constructions modernes.

(Translated by Google) Church in typical Romanesque style from the 12th century. The columns preserved inside the crypt are suggestive, on which there are still some Latin engravings; the custodian told us that these are references to the miles of distance between Rome and Ventimiglia. For lovers of art and ancient architecture, a pearl to certainly contemplate. (Original) Chiesa in tipico stile Romanico del XII sec.

(Translated by Google) Ancient 12th century church in Romanesque style, of Templar origin. Located next to the Porta Piemonte, it was restored at the end of the 19th century by Girolamo Rossi. The restoration sacrificed the first span to obtain the large square in front. The crypt created under the main altar is noteworthy. (Original) Antica chiesa del XII secolo in stile romanico, di origine templare. Ubicata accanto alla porta Piemonte è stata restaurata alla fine del XIX secolo per opera del Girolamo Rossi.

Amazing! Best food experience of our trip. Go to their store in the covered market, not what is here on Google Maps, to eat. It’s one of the stalls on the edge. I was able to pick a fresh pasta and sauce (I chose pesto) for 5 euros. She made it right then. It was amazing. So fresh, so soft. Truly incredible and so affordable. There is no seating but we sat on a bench nearby. The fresh pasta is also very affordable to go.
Delicious pasta with 7 to 10 different flavors plus sauces and cheese. Great traditional place in the heart of Ventimille. Please try the ravioli with truffles or the ravioli with lemon. Nice destination for all
Delightful place! Great variety of pasta. Staff are lovely and it’s affordable. I will be going back.

The fortress, which offers a wonderful view of the sea, houses archaeological finds from Roman times displayed with pleasant explanations provided on panels.

Beautiful view in front of the beach with fantastic pasta and tuna tartar. Tiramisu was huge! Omg. Grazie mille
Spent the day at the beach and ate at the beach side restaurant. The beach is not the best with rocks, but the water is fresh and very clean and the floor is sandy once you are waist deep. We were a group of 12 and had a nice long table at the beach side restaurant. The setup is great, protected from the sun and breezy. The food was excellent and our kids had a blast. Our friends are regulars here and maybe we benefited from their prior knowledge and relationship with the staff. In any case I recommend. Comparatively affordable day at the beach, great food, clean water, good service.
1 star is for the ambience. But still the ambience was average at best, super dirty exterior. Awful service. Super rude tall male server. Tried to ask why the wifi wasn’t working and he walked away as I was speaking and said it’s just like that. Dirty dishes were on my table for over 20 minutes, waiters walked by multiple times and did not clear. I asked the rude waiter to clear the dish, and he gave me a glare (?) lol as if it was an offence to ask him to do his job. (??) Just to note, I was the only person of colour in the restaurant. He seemed to be more polite to the other customers. Food was disappointing. I only ate the clams, pasta had no flavour and couldn’t even be saved with salt and pepper. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the wifi wasn’t working and I couldn’t find another place I would have left.
This is our favourite restaurant in Ventimiglia. We have been coming here for a number of years and every time, we have a pleasant experience. The seafood is always fresh and cooked wonderfully. The staff are friendly and the service is good. The restaurant has a beach and a wonderful view onto the sea.
Another delicious meal. Thank you for your great hospitality. We will be back very soon.
Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed eating right on the beach. The seafood was amazing - simply spiced to let the grilled seafood flavor shine. Our waiter, David, was wonderful. He speaks perfect English and was so helpful and happy to share the wonders of Italy!
Best restaurant in all the coast. Food Is fresh and tasty. First quality products. The staff Is nice and kind. The location Is calm, relaxing and with a beautiful view. Maybe somebody could complain about the prices but actually it's totally Fair for the big size of the plates and the quality!!! I Will be back
Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Good always good and service super friendly, efficient and professional. Will always come back here (especially for the zabaglione)!

Train station
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
Gate way to some of the most beautiful blue waters you’ll find. The station has a lot of security in the form of police and military. As with quite a few Italian stations, the notice boards may not update very well so you’re best to check any application you’re using for travel. The station was otherwise clean and has toilets.
Small train station in Italy near the border with France. This is the transfer station for trains going to or coming from France through Italy. The station is small. There is a small cafe for picking up food and drinks. There is also a ticket machine for purchasing tickets. I would recommend using the app to purchase tickets though. Staff was friendly.
No elevator or escalator at the train station. Not even a ramp for the luggage which can be installed relatively simply. This means you're carrying your luggage up and down the stairs and it is not wheelchair friendly.
Small exit points to switch platforms at this outdoor station when alighting trains create a bottleneck, especially when you have people racing up and down in a hurry. It is better to give yourself a few extra minutes for your transfer and avoid the crush. It's not a station where I'd want to miss my connecting train. I'd probably avoid this place after dark, they're were a couple of dodgy looking people hanging around
Small city to visitin half a day. Busy streets in the day. Very good prices for all kind of markets. Very nice views and good place to swim and enjoy a little bit of Italy!!
Perfect and easy to reach
Beautiful border town. Absolutely worth a visit! We went here for 1/4 a day from Nice for lunch and had a great time. Its old, its vibrant and alive’
One of the worst experiences ever! We had connection here and nobody let us say inside in the train station. We should stay all night in front of the station and the weather was cold. Nothing around that was working in midnight.

A beautiful Catholic church, which stands just on the street among the houses. It is almost invisible. However, inside it's just a masterpiece. Look at the photo and see how beautiful this creation is!
The best church of death i have ever seen!
Jaw droppingly beautiful
(Translated by Google) Oratorio dei Neri. located in Ventimiglia Vecchia, 18th century building, in the center of the historic city, beautiful paintings, statues, but the particular one is the depiction of Christ, lying on a stretcher, it is a particular statue as it is articulated, because during  Good Friday the descent from the cross was depicted.
