Explore Nice’s charm step by step: wander the Old Town’s narrow streets, climb Castle Hill for sweeping views, stroll the Promenade des Anglais, and finish in lively Place Masséna—beauty, history, and Mediterranean flair at every turn.
Exploring Nice feels like stepping into a vibrant blend of history, color, and Mediterranean charm. The experience begins in the Old Town, where winding alleys, warm pastel façades, and the lively sounds of cafés and local markets create an atmosphere full of character. Every turn reveals small shops, hidden courtyards, and the scent of fresh Provençal flavors drifting through the streets. From there, the climb to Castle Hill brings a calm escape above the city. Its shaded paths lead to breathtaking panoramic views of the Baie des Anges, the terracotta rooftops, and the sparkling coastline stretching into the distance. Returning downhill, the famous Promenade des Anglais invites a slow walk along the shimmering sea, where sunlight dances on the water and locals stroll by with effortless ease. The day concludes in Place Masséna, the grand central square glowing with red façades, elegant arcades, modern art installations, and the lively rhythm of people moving through one of Nice’s most iconic spaces.
