Promenade des Anglais
Place
"The English Promenade is one of the highlights of Nice, and there are many good reasons for that. What other city do you know with a promenade that extends from the airport to the city? That's right, Nice's promenade is 7km long and it extends from Nice's airport until Castle Hill"
Parc de la Colline du Château
Place
"This is the place to visit if you're looking for that popular panoramic view over the bay (Bay of Angels - Baie des Anges), the whole town and the mountains - yes, that beautiful view you see when you look for Nice on Google. On the other side, you will have a beautiful view to the old port"
Vieux-Nice
Place
"Old and lively part of the town, where you can find many restaurants, bars, ice cream shops, boutiques, galleries, local markets, churches, squares and colourful houses nicely aligned along narrow streets. It's a lovely place for walks and exploring, and from there, you can go up to the Castle hill"
Place Massena
Place
"the main square of the city, and a perfect place for people watching and to appreciate the occasional concert or other public events such as Nice's Carnaval. When visiting it, you can't miss the beautiful pavement tiles, the seven statues set on high poles and the Fountain of the Sun"
Promenade du Paillon

"On each side of Place Masséna you will find two different green spaces: Promenade du Paillon, with it's amazing Water Mirror on the east and Albert I Garden (Jardin Albert 1er) on the west."

Port de Nice Lympia
Place
"Nice's old port might not be on the list of top things to see in Nice, but if you like ports like me, you have plenty of time to kill, and don't mind walking a little bit further east, you might want to pass by and admire the colourful boats by the port."
La Réserve
Restaurants
"La Reserve is a quite interesting restaurant sat on a rock, with great views to the port, the bay and the ocean blues."
