Location & what to see

Nice stretches between the Mediterranean and the hills, with Riquier to the east of the centre and close to the port. This district combines residential streets, rail connections and local life; it suits travellers who want to reach sights on foot or by train while staying in an area less focused on the seafront promenade. The port and the streets of the old town give this part of the city a character quite different from the avenues along the bay.

Nice-Riquier station is 300 m away and makes it easy to travel to other districts and towns along the coast. Place Garibaldi leads into the streets of Vieux-Nice, known for their colourful façades, squares and narrow lanes. The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art displays 20th-century collections and is 850 m away. For some fresh air, Castle Hill has paths and viewpoints over the city, port and bay. Bains Militaires Beach is 1.2 km away; Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 5 km away.

You can start the day in Vieux-Nice, continue with a museum visit or a walk up the hill, then finish by the water. In summer, the sea and promenades attract more visitors, and the streets can feel hot in the middle of the day. Spring and the shoulder season are good for city walks, with generally milder temperatures. In winter, the museums, markets and central districts remain pleasant to explore, even when a day at the beach is not on the agenda.
