About Nice
Nice sits on the French Riviera with a long seafront and a dense old quarter. Visitors walk the Promenade des Anglais along the water and explore Vieux Nice for its narrow streets and Cours Saleya Market. The Colline du Château offers views over the port and city.
Further out, the Cimiez area holds the Musée Matisse and monastery gardens. Day trips reach Èze and Monaco with its palace and casino. The city suits a relaxed coastal trip that mixes beach time, markets, and nearby excursions.
