Discovering Nice

The first stop for anyone arriving in Nice should be The Colline du Chateau. Overlooking the Baie des Anges and the harbour, from here you will find spectacular views of the city on all sides. In case you do not want to walk, you can use a lift to get you on your way up the hill. This beautiful park with children's play area and scenic waterfall is a fantastic place to escape the busy streets and relax.

Between the sea and the palm trees, take a traditional stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, which has been a celebrated promenade along the Mediterranean since the 19th century. Nowadays the promenade comes alive with sunset strollers, bikers and post-work joggers. Enjoy the buzz of the promenade with a glass of wine from one of the cosy restaurants overlooking the sea. Having a cocktail in the elegant Negresco bar, is a wonderful experience.

At the southern side of the promenade, you can visit a beautiful botanic garden park - Phoenix Park. With an inner zoo, swan pond, fountain, and some attractions for children there are plenty of things to explore! (Entrance fee of 3 euros).
