Villa Nanou Riviera is in the centre, in an urban area where museums, markets, monuments and beaches are easy to reach on foot. The neighbourhood suits travellers who want to explore the city without spending every outing travelling by car; the shared kitchen and dormitories also offer a more communal way to stay.
MAMAC displays modern and contemporary art collections, while Place Garibaldi opens onto arcaded façades and several streets in the centre. Palais Lascaris, in Vieux-Nice, gives you a glimpse of a Baroque palace and its decoration. Promenade du Paillon is an urban garden linking different neighbourhoods and providing space for a walk. Further down, Ponchettes Beach runs along the Baie des Anges, near Cours Saleya and its market stalls. Castle Hill offers higher views over the coastline.
Nice city centre is easy to explore on foot, and the tram makes it easier to travel to other neighbourhoods. Nice-Ville station connects the city by train; Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is about 5 km away. In spring and autumn, the temperatures make long walks around the sights pleasant.
