One Perfect Day in Nice

1.Start your day with coffee and fresh pastries in the heart of Vieux Nice, near Cours Saleya, where the scent of flowers and local produce fills the morning air. Wander through the colourful streets of the Old Town, discovering hidden squares, baroque churches and small artisan boutiques.

Stroll along the iconic Promenade des Anglais, where the Mediterranean sparkles under the Riviera sun, and watch cyclists glide past the palm-lined seafront. Continue up to Castle Hill (Colline du Château) for breathtaking panoramic views over the Bay of Angels and the terracotta rooftops below.

2.In the afternoon, explore the Port of Nice, where traditional fishing boats sit alongside sleek yachts, before enjoying a relaxed dinner in one of the city’s charming local restaurants.

Finish your day with a sunset walk along the waterfront — a simple moment that costs nothing, yet perfectly captures the timeless spirit of the French Riviera.
