Overview
Stretching along the sparkling Bay of Angels, Nice is famous for its pebbled beaches, pastel buildings, and palm-lined promenades. The iconic Promenade des Anglais invites leisurely strolls with sea views, while the Old Town (Vieux Nice) charms visitors with narrow lanes, bustling markets, and the scent of fresh socca and lavender in the air.
The city has long been a muse for artists and creatives, and that spirit lives on in its many galleries and museums, including the Musee Matisse and the Musee Marc Chagall. Elegant squares and hilltop gardens offer postcard-worthy views, while local cafés provide the perfect spot to enjoy a café crème or glass of rose and soak in the Riviera rhythm.
Nice also makes a great base for exploring the rest of the Côte d’Azur, with quick access to spots like Èze, Cannes, and Monaco. But even if you never leave town, Nice captures that perfect mix of laid-back coastal life and refined French culture—all under the Mediterranean sun.
Start your day with a leisurely stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, Nice's famous seafront boulevard. This picturesque promenade stretches for seven kilometers along the Mediterranean coast and offers stunning views of the azure waters. it is a great place to people-watch, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in the beauty of the French Riviera.
Tip: Visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Don't forget your camera for some beautiful photo opportunities.
Next, head to the Old Town (Vieux Nice), a charming maze of narrow streets, colorful buildings, and bustling markets. Wander through the lively Cours Saleya market, where you can find fresh produce, flowers, and local delicacies. Key attractions include the Nice Cathedral, the Palais Lascaris, and the Place Rossetti.
Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the streets can be uneven. Take your time to explore the hidden gems and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
Climb up to Castle Hill (Colline du Château) for panoramic views of Nice and the Mediterranean Sea. Although the castle itself is in ruins, the park offers beautiful gardens, waterfalls, and scenic viewpoints. it is a perfect spot to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery.
Tip: There is an elevator available if you prefer not to walk up the hill. Bring a picnic and enjoy it in the park while admiring the views.
Spend some time at the Musee Matisse, a museum dedicated to the works of the famous French painter Henri Matisse. The museum is located in the Villa des Arènes, a beautiful 17th-century villa in the Cimiez neighborhood. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and personal artifacts that trace Matisse's artistic journey.
Tip: Allocate at least an hour to explore the museum. Check the schedule for any special exhibitions or events during your visit.
Take a break and relax at the Promenade du Paillon, a beautiful urban park that stretches from the Promenade des Anglais to the National Theatre. The park features lush gardens, fountains, and playgrounds, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a family outing.
Tip: Bring a book or a snack and enjoy some downtime in the park. The fountains are especially beautiful in the evening when they are illuminated.
No visit to Nice is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Head to one of the seaside restaurants along the Promenade des Anglais and savor delicious dishes such as salade niçoise, socca (chickpea pancake), and fresh seafood. Pair your meal with a glass of local rose wine for the perfect dining experience.
Tip: Ask locals for restaurant recommendations to find the best spots. Make a reservation if you plan to dine during peak hours.
End your day with a visit to the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Nice, which houses an impressive collection of art spanning four centuries. The museum features works by artists such as Jules Cheret, Gustav-Adolf Mossa, and Auguste Rodin. The beautiful mansion and its gardens add to the charm of the museum.
