Things to see and do in Nice
Parc du Château
While the chateau is long gone, the hilltop park is a perfect spot for picnics and hosts open air concerts in the summer months. From its shaded confines you can see staggering views of Nice and the Mediterranean Sea.
Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain
Step out of the sun for an afternoon and explore the remarkable Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. Architecturally impressive, it’s also full of some fantastic modern art, with everything from Lichtenstein to Warhol.
The Musée Matisse
If Matisse is more your taste, head to this Genoese villa just north of the city centre where you’ll find an excellent collection of his work. The artist himself used to spend his winters in Nice up until his death, so this gallery has particular poignancy and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.
Old Town
Nice’s old town, or Vieux Nice, is a charming warren of old fashioned streets, stairwells and alleyways huddled beneath the hill. Here you’ll get a taste of Nice as it was in the past, with beautiful houses and captivating little boutiques. There are also daily fruit and flower markets, which complete the atmosphere.
Blue Beach
This private beach in the heart of Nice is a great place to take the little ones. You’ll find plenty of family-friendly activities, playgrounds, child-friendly pools and lots of cafes and restaurants for mum and dad.
Diving
There’s some great diving to be had around Nice, with a number of diving operators offering excursions and beginners courses. A good place to start is the Quai de Lunel, where you’ll find several of the major operators’ headquarters.
