Nice stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, with a long seafront, shopping districts and an old town of narrow lanes. In the Carré d’Or, elegant buildings stand alongside lively avenues and gardens. The Promenade des Anglais runs along the Baie des Anges; the Masséna Museum, housed in a Belle Époque villa, tells the story of the local area. This district suits travellers who want to alternate between swimming, cultural visits and walks around the city.

The seafront is within walking distance, with Blue Beach 200 m away. The Jardin de la Légion d'Honneur and the Masséna Museum are each 100 m away, while Place Masséna opens onto pedestrian streets and central public spaces. Nice-Ville train station, 1.1 km away, connects the city to other stops along the French Riviera. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 3.4 km away; public transport makes it easy to travel between the seafront, the centre and more distant districts. You can explore the old town and Castle Hill by continuing east.

The Mediterranean climate means you can enjoy the coast for much of the year. In summer, allow time for the beach and an evening walk, when the light changes over the bay; it is busier then. Spring and autumn are good for walking tours and excursions along the coast. You could start the day at the Cours Saleya market, continue through the lanes of Vieux-Nice and finish with some time by the sea. In winter, the museums and central districts also offer plenty of ways to discover the city.
