Location & what to see
Nice stretches between the Mediterranean and the hills, with a lively urban centre all year round. The Musiciens district combines avenues lined with elegant buildings, shopping streets and Belle Époque architecture. It suits visitors who want to explore the city on foot and reach the seafront without being far from transport. The train station and city-centre shops bring life to the area, while gardens and squares offer places to pause among the streets.
Nice-Ville train station is 170 m away and connects the city with destinations along the French Riviera. Notre-Dame Basilica, notable for its two towers and Neo-Gothic style, is 260 m away. The Marc Chagall Museum, dedicated in particular to the artist’s works on biblical themes, is 860 m away. For a seaside stroll and a swim, Lido Beach is 990 m away; the Promenade des Anglais then follows the bay to the east and west. You can explore Vieux-Nice, with its narrow streets, colourful façades and the Cours Saleya market, by continuing your walk south.
Spring and autumn are good times for exploring on foot, with often mild temperatures and fewer crowds than in the height of summer. In summer, you can alternate a morning on the coast with a museum visit and an evening stroll along the Promenade des Anglais. For a day without a car, combine the collections at the Marc Chagall Museum with the city-centre squares and the narrow streets of Vieux-Nice; the train station also makes trips along the coast easy.
