Description:

Nice, considered the “Queen of the Riviera,” stretches along the shores of the dazzling Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels) and features a superb old town with Italian influence. Stroll along the Promenade des Anglais , admire the view from Castle Hill, and explore Cimiez's lovely old quarter.

During the 19th century, the English chose the Bay of Angels as their favorite winter holiday destination and gave their name to the Promenade des Anglais. Stroll along this palm-lined walkway that runs along a golden beach and azure water, passing by the magnificent façade of Hotel Negresco.

Then climb up to Castle Hill, which dominates the city, and marvel at the breathtaking view over the old town, the coast, and the surrounding mountains. Wander in the lush park, see a charming waterfall, and soak up the peaceful atmosphere before arriving to the neighborhood of Cimiez. Here, explore a Franciscan monastery, explore the Roman arenas, and enjoy a stroll in an olive grove while looking at the opulent Belle Époque architecture.

As your tour continues, marvel at the magnificent Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas, built in the early 20th century to accommodate the constantly growing Russian community of Nice. Take in this masterpiece of Russian architecture before enjoying some leisure time to walk around the maze of narrow streets in the town's medieval quarter.
