🌴 Nice Travel Package

🏖️ Must-visit tourist hotspots

1. Promenade des Anglais

   • Nice's most famous seaside promenade, strolling or cycling along the azure coastline, super enjoyable!
   • The editor recommends: Come at dusk to watch the sunset cast on the sea, it is extremely romantic.

2. Colline du Château / Castle Hill

   • It overlooks the old town of Nice and the Baie des Anges, making it a great place for taking photos.
   • Although there is no real castle, the viewing platform is really worth climbing.

3. Nice Old Town (Vieux Nice)

   • Narrow alleys, colorful buildings, and bustling markets are full of Mediterranean atmosphere.
   • Don’t miss Cours Saleya Market , where you can find flowers, spices, fruits, and experience the local life.

4. Matisse Museum

   • Matisse spent most of his life in Nice, and this place showcases his classic works. A must-see for art lovers!

5. Nice Cathedral

   • Located in the center of the old city, it has a gorgeous Baroque style, and both the exterior and interior are worth admiring.

6. Sunny Beach (Plages de Nice)

   • Unlike fine sand, Nice has a pebble beach where you can rent a lounge chair to sunbathe or go into the sea in the summer.
   • Editor's reminder: It is best to wear water shoes, which will make it more comfortable to go into the water.

7. Day trip recommendations

   • Monaco : 20 minutes by train to experience the land of the rich.
   • Èze : A medieval mountain town, I especially recommend the perfume factory.
   • Cannes : famous for its film festival, beaches and boutiques.

🚆 Transportation Tips

City transportation

• Walking : The Old Town and waterfront area are great for exploring on foot.
• Tram : Convenient and cheap, the T1 line runs through the main attractions in the city.
• Bus : Can go outside the city and suburban towns.

External transportation

• Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE)

  • It is only 7 km away from the city center and can be reached directly by Tram 2 or bus.

• Train (SNCF)

  • You can go to Monaco, Cannes, and Marseille, and enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean scenery along the way.

• Self-driving

  • Driving along the Cote d'Azur is beautiful, but there are few parking spaces in the city, so it is recommended to combine short-distance driving with public transportation.

💡 A friendly reminder from the editor

• The summer tourist season is very busy, so it is recommended to book accommodation in advance.
• Nice Beach is pebbled and you need to rent a beach chair to sit down, otherwise it will be a bit uncomfortable.
• The market is usually closed on Mondays, so if you want to visit the Saleya market, remember to avoid Mondays.
• It is recommended to stay in Nice for at least 3 days so that you can explore the city and the surrounding towns at the same time.
