What's on in Nice
About Nice
Nice is the unofficial capital of the French Riviera, where pastel facades meet the deep blue of the Baie des Anges. The palm-lined Promenade des Anglais sweeps along the pebble shore, while the maze of Vieux Nice (Old Town) hides baroque churches, the bustling Cours Saleya flower-and-produce market and shops selling socca, the city's chickpea street snack. For the best panorama, climb or take the lift up Castle Hill (Colline du Château) above the harbour.
The city is also a cultural stop in its own right, home to the Matisse Museum and the Marc Chagall National Museum, both set among the leafy villas of the Cimiez district. Its location makes Nice the ideal base for the wider coast.
Day trips are the highlight here: the principality of Monaco with its casino and palace, the clifftop medieval village of Èze, glamorous Cannes and the perfume town of Grasse are all within an hour by train or coach. The local train hugging the coastline is one of the most scenic and affordable ways to explore.

Local tips for visiting Nice
- Pack water shoes; Nice's beaches are pebbled rather than sandy, which surprises many first-time visitors.
- Take the regional TER train along the coast to reach Monaco, Èze-sur-Mer and Cannes cheaply, often for under €10 each way.
- Visit the Cours Saleya market in Vieux Nice in the morning for produce and flowers; it switches to antiques on Mondays.
- Ride the lift up Castle Hill rather than climbing the steps if it's hot, then walk back down through the Old Town.

What are the best day trips from Nice?
Monaco, the hilltop village of Èze, Cannes and the perfume town of Grasse are all within about an hour. Monaco and Èze are the most popular, easily combined on a single guided tour, while the coastal train offers a budget-friendly, scenic way to reach Monaco and Cannes independently.
Are the beaches in Nice sandy?
No. Nice's beaches along the Baie des Anges are made of smooth pebbles rather than sand. Bring water shoes and a padded mat for comfort. There are both free public sections and private beach clubs where you can rent a sunlounger and parasol for the day.
How do I get from Nice Airport to the city centre?
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is just west of the city. The tram line 2 runs directly to the centre and Old Town in about 25 minutes for a few euros, while taxis take 15 to 20 minutes. The tram is the fastest and most economical option for most arrivals.
