Avenue Jean-Médecin runs through central Nice’s shopping district, between the station and the neighbourhoods leading down to the sea. This lively urban area is convenient for getting around on foot or by tram, with 19th-century façades, shops and streets leading to the central squares. You can divide your days between the heritage of Vieux-Nice, museums and the coast, without having to plan every outing around a car.

Nice-Ville station is about 250 m away and connects the centre with other towns in the region. A tram stop is a two-minute walk away; the line makes it easy to reach the seafront and different neighbourhoods. The Marc Chagall Museum displays the artist’s work in an exhibition that includes his large biblical compositions. Place Masséna and Promenade du Paillon offer open spaces for a break between visits. Further down, Vieux-Nice brings together narrow lanes, colourful façades and historic buildings; Promenade des Anglais runs alongside the beaches of the bay.

The central beaches are about 1 km away, a walk through the shopping streets. Nice is worth visiting all year round: spring and autumn are pleasant for walks and museum visits, while the seafront is busier in summer. A day might begin at the market on Cours Saleya, continue through the lanes of Vieux-Nice and end with a stroll beside the Mediterranean. For excursions, the station gives you access to nearby coastal towns without relying on a car.
