The Vieux-Port, or Old Port, is quite picturesque with lots of beautiful boats lining the docks. It has, however, been terribly commercialized, but, thankfully, it still retains some of its old charm and beauty. Yes, you will find BK and McDonald's here and street performers (the kind that request money from the audience before performing), but it is still somehow charming. The restaurants around here are all tourist traps. If you want to eat, I recommend walking a few blocks in either direction back from the port where you get more authentic and reasonably priced cuisine. There are lots of souvenir shops if you are in search of that. There is also a ferris wheel that gives stunning views of the ocean and port, which I highly recommend riding on at night. It's about 12 euros per person, much cheaper than the London Eye and more scenic. I'd recommend walking here like we did from our Air BnB if you can. There is a major bus station here so that is another option for travel to and from Vieux-Port.
