What can you see in Nice in one day?
Start early at Cours Saleya and in Old Nice. Continue to Castle Hill for views over the Baie des Anges and port, then descend towards Place Garibaldi. Spend the afternoon on the Promenade des Anglais or in a museum.
Old Nice or Promenade des Anglais?
Choose Old Nice for lanes, baroque churches, food and local atmosphere. Choose the Promenade des Anglais for the iconic seafront and a long coastal walk. A first full day can comfortably include both.
Is Nice easy to visit without a car?
Yes, and it is often preferable. Trains, trams and walking avoid parking problems. In high season, travelling to Nice by train from the coast can be much more comfortable than driving into the centre.
Which museums should you choose?
The Matisse Museum explores the artist’s connection with Nice and Mediterranean light. The Marc Chagall National Museum centres on his work, including the Biblical Message. Choose according to your interests rather than trying to fit several museums into one day.
What can you visit around Nice?
Cagnes-sur-Mer lies on the route from Port d’Attache. East of Nice, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze and Monaco each deserve their own programme.
