Nice

Nissa la Bella, a world-famous celebrity leaning against the Ligurian Alps, whose beauty is reflected on the glistening Mediterranean Sea that embraces it.

With 300 days of sunshine, towering mountain peaks of astounding beauty, the warmth of the local accent, the hustle and bustle of market squares, and the glorious promenades, no wonder Nice holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. In the second half of the 18th century, Nice became a favorite of the English upper classes thanks to its stunning natural environment and mild Mediterranean climate. Since then, the city, along with the wider Côte d'Azur area, has been the preferred winter resort for the European aristocracy. As a result, Nice boasts a fascinating blend of cultures, which earned the city a place on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2021.

The arrival of the railway in 1864 made the city even more attractive in the eyes of tourists from around the globe. Many local and foreign architects were active in Nice between 1860 and 1930. In 1931, Prince Arthur inaugurated the famous Promenade des Anglais, as part of the refurbishment of the city's main seafront. Nowadays, the Old Town of Nice boasts historical Sardinian architecture with castles and palaces in the purest Baroque tradition. Taking a stroll around the city's charming streets is sure to make you fall in love with Nissa la Bella, Nice the Beautiful.

Where to stay in Nice

Timing your visit to Nice is crucial, as events like the Monaco Grand Prix make hotel prices soar. Outside these world-famous events though, Nice is an affordable base to explore the French Riviera. The most expensive and high-end hotels are situated in the smaller towns along the Côte d'Azur near Nice. The hotels we offer in Nice are all well-situated, within comfortable walking distance from the city center.

Things to do in Nice

Home to a breathtakingly beautiful Old Town, Nice is a year-round destination that will amaze you. In the summer, dive into the turquoise waters of the famed Côte d'Azur and take a trip on board a whisper-quiet electric boat to discover hidden coves. In the winter, explore the area's lesser-known villages and towns, from picturesque Caen and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a village that feels like an art gallery of sorts, to Antibes with the renowned Picasso Museum and the perfume-producing villages where you can visit an authentic workshop and create your own fragrance.

No matter what season you choose to visit Nice, the city is ideal for a taste of the luxurious lifestyle, mostly evident in the world-famous Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and Monaco. When we send you your customized itinerary, you will be able to choose additional excursions to include in your vacation package or consider adding later.
