Nice stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, with neighbourhoods that alternate between lively avenues, shaded squares and old streets. Antares hostel is in the station district, north of the pedestrianised centre. This area makes it easy to get around the city and suits travellers who want to combine sightseeing, beach visits and excursions without relying on a car all the time. Wide boulevards sit alongside shopping streets and buildings from different periods.

Nice-Ville train station, about 200 m away, connects the city and the coast by rail. The Musée national Marc Chagall has an important collection dedicated to the artist, while the Notre-Dame de Nice Basilica stands out for its two towers and neo-Gothic architecture. Heading south, Place Masséna opens onto Albert I Garden and the Promenade des Anglais, which runs along the seafront. The pebble beaches and their promenades are about 1.2 km away; continue east to explore the colourful lanes of Vieux-Nice.

Nice is worth visiting all year round, but spring and autumn often bring pleasant conditions for walking between the museums, gardens and coast. In summer, set aside time for swimming and evening walks, when the heat eases. For a varied day out, you can spend the morning at the Chagall museum, walk into the city centre, then finish with a stroll on the beach or along the Baie des Anges. The nearby train station also makes trips to towns along the French Riviera easy.
