Nice lies between the Mediterranean and the hills, with an urban centre where ochre façades, lively squares and the narrow streets of the old town sit alongside wide boulevards. The area around Place Masséna connects the shopping centre with the seafront; you can alternate walks through the old town with breaks in the gardens and swims at the pebble beaches. This part of the city suits travellers who want to explore on foot and enjoy local life without constantly relying on a car.

Place Masséna and the Promenade du Paillon offer walking routes between the centre and the seafront. In the old town, narrow streets lead to Sainte-Réparate Cathedral and Place Rossetti, with their colourful façades and terraces. Castle Hill offers elevated views over the bay. Beau Rivage and Opéra beaches provide access to the coast; Nice-Ville train station is 950 m away and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 4.4 km away. Tram services run through the Place Masséna area.

Nice can be visited all year round, but spring and autumn often bring pleasant days for exploring the neighbourhoods on foot. In summer, the sea and beaches shape days out, while mornings are a good time to discover the narrow streets before they get busy. You can spend a day in the old town, continue towards the seafront and finish at a viewpoint overlooking the bay. The city-centre museums round out the itinerary when the sun is at its strongest or the weather changes.
