Nice stretches between the Baie des Anges and the first slopes of the Alps, with an old town of colourful façades, lively squares and a long seafront promenade. Hotel Aston La Scala is in the centre, near the Promenade du Paillon, a landscaped park that runs through the district to the coast. The area suits travellers who want to alternate between city sightseeing, breaks on a terrace and swimming without relying on a car all the time.

Place Masséna marks the entrance to the old town, whose narrow streets lead to Sainte-Réparate Cathedral and Palais Lascaris. The Charles Nègre Photography Museum is 300 m away; its exhibitions explore the history of photography and images connected with Nice. Opéra Plage is 360 m away, and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is 630 m away. Nice-Ville railway station, 1.1 km away, makes it easy to travel to other towns on the French Riviera. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 4.5 km away; the tram also serves the centre and the city's districts.

For a first visit, you can walk through Vieux-Nice in the morning, visit its historic buildings, then head to Quai des États-Unis to stroll along the seafront. Castle Hill offers views over the bay and the rooftops of the old town; the walk uphill is a good option late in the day. Nice is worth visiting all year round: winters are mild, while summer brings days suited to the beach and evening walks. In spring and autumn, the temperatures make it easy to combine museums, walks and excursions along the coast.
