Here's Why You Must Visit Nice This Summer

Located in the French Riviera, the city of Nice is the second most popular French city after Paris and not without reason! This cosmopolitan coastal city offers the best of both worlds. The beauty of its beaches, the diverse character of its urban areas, and its old world charm attract a large number of tourists every year. 

For the Beach Bums

Bordering the city along the Mediterranean is the famous walkway or the Promenade des Anglais, a perfect place to walk, cycle, rollerblade or just sit and admire the gorgeous blue waters of the Bay of Angels. The popular beaches of Nice are not sandy but mostly made up of pebbles. However, most of them have good restaurants and facilities for a great day out. 

For the Artistic at Heart

At the east end of the Nice coastline stands the Castle Hill or Colline Du Chateau. Its waterfall, ruins, and spectacular panoramic view of the city make the walk up totally worth it. This beautiful city has been a great inspiration for painters, artists and composers and perfectly fits its title of Nice la Belle, or Nice The Beautiful.

For a Very Touristy Feel

The heart of the city, Old Nice, is best explored on foot. Its market squares are always buzzing with activity, and have a good number of restaurants and bars, offering lively ambience during the days and serving as great night clubs at night. One must try an authentic restaurant here for a traditional meal and the true Mediterranean feel. While you are here, don’t miss the flower and vegetable market on the Cours Saleya. What’s more, this lively street also hosts the antique market every week. Old Nice is also home to the Opera of Nice, wonderful churches and painted buildings, mesmerizing every visitor with its charm and beauty.

For the Lovers of History

Nice is a great place for lovers of history as well, with historical sites and monuments dating to different periods of architecture and history. The many museums and art galleries here showcase a remarkable collection featuring works of local and international artists.
