Description:

Join a small group to explore the attractive capital of the Riviera. Admire the city from the highest point in town at Castle Park, drive through the charming marina and the modern part of city, enjoy a stroll in the quaint Cimiez neighborhood, and wander the narrow streets of the medieval quarter.

Castle Park offers a perfect introduction to the city; it's a pleasant retreat from the busy streets. On a rocky outcrop rising over Vieux Nice, this park offers a panoramic perspective of Nice and the Baie des Anges on one side and the port on the other. Admire the ponds and waterfalls, and then take a break under palms and exotic trees as you take in scenic views.

After an exciting drive along the vibrant marina, pass by the lively streets and boulevards lined with grand Italian Belle Epoque-style buildings. See Garibaldi Square, the heart of the city, a favorite meeting point and popular outdoor spot of locals.

It's now time to explore the lovely area of Cimiez, home to ancient ruins of a Roman settlement. The impressive amphitheater hosts the acclaimed annual Nice Jazz Festival. Further up the hill, marvel at the opulent winter palace of Queen Victoria, who often spent her holidays here in the second part of the 19th century. A pleasant stroll through the olive grove takes you to a 9th-century monastery.

Pass by the famous and vibrant Promenade des Anglais, and lose you way in the picturesque narrow streets of the medieval quarter.
