Location & what to see
The Musicians’ Quarter occupies a central part of Nice, with early 20th-century buildings, lively streets and façades that recall the city’s growth during the Belle Époque. It suits travellers who want to explore the centre on foot while keeping the railway station within walking distance. The avenues lead towards the city-centre shops and, further south, the sea and the Promenade des Anglais.
Nice-Ville railway station is 300 m away and connects the neighbourhood to the regional rail network. The Musée Masséna, housed in a Belle Époque villa, traces the history of Nice and the Riviera and is 810 m away. Sporting Beach, on the Baie des Anges, is a 930 m walk. Further on, Place Masséna opens onto the pedestrian streets and Vieux-Nice, whose narrow lanes, colourful façades and Cours Saleya market are pleasant to explore on foot. The Musée Marc Chagall displays a collection devoted to the artist, while Castle Hill offers views of the bay and the rooftops of the old town. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 4.1 km away.
Nice is worth visiting all year round: the mild days of spring and autumn are well suited to city walks, museums and terraces, while summer draws more visitors to the coast. You can spend a morning at the Cours Saleya market, explore Vieux-Nice afterwards and end the day on the seafront. The tram and trains make it easy to get around the city and reach the coastal towns.
