Planning your visit

  • Overview

Must See
  • Le Cours Saleya This is the Old Town’s busiest square and hosts a large market, which sells fruit and vegetables, antiques and is home to the famous flower stalls.
  • The Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain Is a sprawling, marble building full of contemporary European and American art. Don't miss the permanent Ecole de Nice collection.
Must Do
  • Wander along the Promenade des Anglais and find the perfect spot to relax on the famous beach and soak up the sun.
  • Hop on an open-topped bus and see the sights on Le Grand Tour Nice, which runs 90-minute circuits along 13 stops.
  • The Old Port is worth a visit if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The area is full of hidden-gem cafés and bars.
Food and Drink
'New' Nice serve typical tourist meals with good value 'plat du jour' from 15 euros per person. Visit the Old Town close to the port to find tranquil restaurants serving perfectly cooked fish with home-grown olives and stuffed vegetables. The Provence region is home to famous, beautiful wines that are full bodied, fruity and complement any meal.
Shopping
The Old Town is full of olive oil vendors but make sure you find Alziari. You can buy this in New York but you can purchase here for a third of the price.
Find time to hit the Côte d’Azur’s largest department store, Galleries Lafayette. It’s located in the heart of the pedestrian centre so you cannot miss it.
Where to Stay
If you want to be in the centre of all the action and close to the beach then stay on the Promenade des Anglais. However, if you want peace and quiet, choose a hotel in the Old Town.
Things to do
  • VILLA OF CELEBRITIES AND GARDENS TOUR Enjoy a drive through the French Riviera Beverly Hills and view the celebrities villas and splendid gardens.
  • NICE CITY TOUR Guided tour around the city, discover the old town and the centre as well as the famous Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Insider Tip
Visit Chez Theresa in the Cours Saleya market on a Tuesday or Sunday morning. There will always be a queue for her paper-thin crêpes made from chickpea flour and olive oil.
