Nice travel features and guides
Plan your journey from Nice Train Station
The capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice sparkles with all the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera. Sitting pretty on the southern coast of France, the city makes for the perfect starting point to your road trip.
Renowned as a place of opulence and year-round sunshine, Nice will surprise you with its unusual combination of grit and glamour, as well as its vibrant nightlife and flourishing art and culture scene.
The city’s old town, Vieux Nice, is a labyrinth of narrow streets and winding alleyways overflowing with pretty houses and independent boutiques. The daily flower and fruit market, Cours Saleya, is also situated here, beneath the hills that overlook the city.
Although the beaches of Nice are pebbled, the world famous azure blue sea is a sight to behold. Here, the sun seems to always shine and the palm-lined shores are nothing short of spectacular. For breathtaking views out over Nice and the Côte d’Azur, scale the heights of nearby Mont Boron.
The Musée Matisse and Musée National Marc Chagall are two galleries not to be missed. The Parc du Château, which features a 12th century castle, is a great place to relax and unwind away from the beachfront.
With its buzzing atmosphere and myriad of attractions, Nice is a beauty waiting to be discovered.

France’s second city after elegant Paris, Marseille is a rich hub of activity. Just two hours’ drive west from Nice along the A8, Marseille is distinctly cosmopolitan, having been influenced by waves of immigrants.
