Nice brings together the atmosphere of a large Mediterranean city and that of a place facing the sea. From Rue Spitalieri, you can explore the centre on foot: shopping streets, squares and public gardens connect the modern districts with Vieux-Nice, with its colourful façades and narrow lanes. The seafront offers a different atmosphere, with its promenade, pebble beaches and spots to pause and look out over the bay. The city suits both urban getaways and stays focused on the coast.

Place Masséna and Promenade du Paillon provide access to the gardens and pedestrian areas in the centre. Continuing south, Vieux-Nice leads to Sainte-Réparate Cathedral, Place Rossetti and Palais Lascaris, a former aristocratic residence that has become a museum. Castle Hill offers views over the bay and the rooftops of the old town. The local beaches, including Beau Rivage, are within walking distance. Nice-Ville train station is 680 m away; Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 4.6 km away. The tram network serves several districts and connects the centre with the airport area.

For your first day, explore the lanes of Vieux-Nice before heading to the sea along Promenade des Anglais. The market on Cours Saleya, with its stalls selling flowers and local produce, offers a lively glimpse of the city, especially in the morning. Nice is worth visiting at any time of year: the milder months are well suited to walks along the coast and trips to hilltop villages, while summer invites you to alternate sightseeing, swimming and breaks in the shade. The museums offer a good alternative on rainy days.
