Why go
This route is for visitors who enjoy small museums as much as the town around them. The Archaeology Museum starts the story at the seafront bastion, while the Picasso Museum brings you to the Château Grimaldi. Continue through the centre for the painted Saint-Bernardin Chapel and the Peynet Museum. Those four stops make a full, unhurried core, with indoor time if the weather turns. Fort Carré is optional because reaching it and seeing it properly adds a longer walk and another substantial visit. Check access to each interior before you commit to the sequence.
