What to see in downtown Nice?

Museums, beaches, historical monuments…Here is a selection of sites to visit absolutely during your stay in Nice: 

  • With its colorful facades, its checkered esplanade and its monumental fountain, Place Masséna in Nice is an emblematic place of the city. It is also an ideal starting point for a shopping day in the big brands of the city center and along Jean-Médecin avenue.
  • Between Port Lympia (the pretty Nice marina) and the Albert 1er garden, the old town is a true maze of winding streets and adorable little squares. At the heart of this picturesque district are many shops, workshops, bars and restaurants. The Palais Lascaris (one of the most beautiful museums in Nice) highlights the Italian roots of Nissa Bella. Different art objects and antique musical instruments are exhibited in the rooms of this sublime villa. 
  • In the heart of Old Nice, the Château hill offers a breathtaking view of the historic area and the Baie des Anges. Its wooded park is a very pleasant place to walk a stone's throw from the most beautiful beaches of Nice!
  • Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Promenade des Anglais in Nice runs along the city's beaches, the luxurious palaces and the casinos of the seaside town. It is an ideal place to practice rollerblading, cycling or scooter or run along the seafront. 
  • The Saint-Nicolas cathedral of Nice is a unique church in Europe, typical of Russian Orthodox architecture. Built at the initiative of Tsar Nicholas II, it is inspired by the Saint Basil's Basilica in Moscow.

The majority of Nice beaches are accessible on foot, by bus or by car from the city center. Very popular with families, these beautiful expanses of fine sand and pebbles offer a wonderful setting for relaxation and swimming in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea… Public and private car parks are provided to park near the beaches and in the city center. 

Where to go out in the center of Nice?

Hostels, bistros, brasseries… The center of Nice offers a wide choice of establishments serving local specialties (Nice socca, pissaladière, pan bagnat…). Several starred tables are also among the best restaurants in Nice.
