The Tour
Six stops through the heart of Nice
From the seafront sweep of the Promenade to the rooftop panorama of Castle Hill — with the stories behind every one.
Promenade des Anglais
The legendary seafront boulevard built by English expats, the Bay of Angels, the iconic blue chairs, and the Hôtel Negresco.
Cours Saleya
Nice's great outdoor flower and food market, Baroque architecture, and the square Matisse looked out over for two decades.
Old Town — Vieux Nice
Medieval lanes, ochre facades, the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate, and the Niçard language still alive in the street signs.
Place Garibaldi
The grand neoclassical square named for the Italian nationalist hero born here — and a city caught between two cultures.
Castle Hill
Panoramic views over the Baie des Anges, a park where a Greek settlement once stood, and a fortress Louis XIV destroyed in 1706.
Opéra de Nice
A Belle Époque masterpiece built after a catastrophic gas explosion — and the city where Paganini spent his final days.
