About Nizza

Nizza, soleggiata capitale della Costa Azzurra, ha un lungomare di palme lungo una baia blu e una città vecchia color pastello animata dai mercati.

La Promenade des Anglais segue la Baie des Anges per chilometri, con spiagge di ciottoli e mare turchese da un lato e grandi hotel dall'altro. La città vecchia di Nizza è un labirinto di vicoli stretti, chiese barocche e facciate color ocra, e il Cours Saleya ospita un mercato di fiori e prodotti freschi.
