Nice
Relax in Nice
The capital of the Riviera, where swaying palms line the seafront and the streets buzz with an easy-going charm.
For amazing sea views over the port visit the park of Le Château. The narrow streets that make up Vieux Nice conceal some fantastic art galleries and design shops, as well as a great choice of cafés.

Taxis are plentiful and cost around $25 into the town center. Bicycles, mopeds and motorbikes are available to rent just by the gare SNCF.
