Nice stretches along the seafront between the Baie des Anges and the hills on the horizon. Along the Promenade des Anglais, palm trees line the beach and promenade, while the streets in the centre lead to squares, gardens and historic neighbourhoods. The city suits stays combining swimming, urban walks, museums and breaks on a terrace. The Mediterranean climate makes outdoor activities a major part of a visit, while the city can also be explored in the cooler months.

Jardin Albert Ier and Place Masséna offer places to stroll and access to the centre’s shopping streets. Further east, Vieux-Nice is a warren of narrow lanes and colourful façades, as well as the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate. Colline du Château offers an elevated vantage point overlooking the bay and the rooftops of the old town. Housed in a Belle Époque villa, Musée Masséna traces the history of Nice and the Riviera. Nice-Ville train station is 1.1 km away; Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport is 3.9 km away.

To explore the city on foot, you could start the day on the seafront, continue through Vieux-Nice and finish at sunset on the hill. Summer draws many visitors and invites you to swim at the pebble beaches; spring and autumn are well suited to walks and museum visits, with often milder temperatures. From Nice, the rail network also makes it easy to reach other towns on the French Riviera for a day trip.
