Nice at a glance
Nice is a city on the French Riviera, on the Baie des Anges at the foot of the French Alps. It grew as a winter resort for European aristocrats, and UNESCO listed it in 2021 as 'Nice, Winter Resort Town of the Riviera'. People come for the seafront, the old town and the museums.
Known for
Promenade des Anglais
Seafront walkway that runs about 7 km along the bay, from the airport in the west to the Quai des États-Unis.
Castle Hill Colline du Château
Limestone hill above the old town, now a public park, with views over the harbor at sunrise and the Promenade at sunset.
Old Town (Vieux Nice)
The quarter once enclosed by the medieval walls, below Castle Hill on the east side of the city center.
Matisse Museum Musée Matisse
Municipal museum in a 17th-century villa in Cimiez, holding one of the world's largest collections of Henri Matisse's work.
Socca
Thin chickpea-flour pancake baked on large copper pans in a wood-fired oven and served hot with black pepper, Nice's classic street food.
Getting there
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport sits on the seafront at the west end of the Promenade des Anglais. Tram line 2 runs from the airport to Jean Médecin in the center and on to Port Lympia. The full trip takes about 26 minutes.
Getting around
Trams and Lignes d'Azur buses cover the city, and contactless travel cards can be loaded online. The old town, the seafront and Castle Hill are close together and easy on foot.
When to go
Summers are dry and sunny, with July and August highs around 27 °C and only one or two rainy days in a typical July. Autumn turns cloudier and wetter in October. Winters are mild, with days of about 11 to 17 °C.
Local tip
Climb Castle Hill near sunset for the view west along the Promenade des Anglais, then walk down into the old town.
