Visit Old Nice with its monuments, noble palaces, typical market, Baroque churches and its most beautiful squares and small places. You'll have the pleasure of hearing many explanations and anecdotes about history, culture, architecture, street names, stores, best addresses and more.

About Nice
Nice is the sunny capital of the French Riviera, where a palm-lined promenade curves along a blue bay and a pastel old town buzzes with markets.
The Promenade des Anglais follows the Baie des Anges for kilometres, with pebble beaches and the turquoise sea on one side and grand hotels on the other. Vieux Nice, the old town, is a maze of narrow lanes, Baroque churches and ochre façades, and the Cours Saleya hosts a flower and produce market.
Top-ranked sights in Nice: Promenade des Anglais, Eze, Nice Old Town (Vieux Nice).
