Splendour and authenticity unite in Nice
There’s a special kind of vibe about Nice that makes it quiet intriguing, almost irresistibly so – especially if what you want from a city break is sun, atmosphere and real substance! The French Riviera has long had a legacy for attracting the elite of Europe, and Nice has been no different, but this city on the Baie des Anges really has the character & culture to endear it to all kinds of curious travellers and explorers.
Nice’s opulence has traditionally been a draw for those visiting the Côte d’Azur, but there’s a lot to be said for the authentic grittiness of the place which reminds us that it is still a city with real history, culture, character and charm. That’s why a free tour of Nice recommended by Freetour.com is a must-do. A lovely local guide will give you real insight to life here and show you the beating heart of their city, from the beautiful Old Town with baroque churches and narrow streets, to vibrant hotspots like Massena Square and the buzzing markets such as Cours Saleya, you’ll discover remarkable history and stories while taking in must-see sights such as the Palace of Justice Cathedrale, St Reparate, Belanda’s tower, and much more.
And there’s plenty of reasons to duck inside and shade from the Nice sunshine, be it studying the renowned paintings of local artist Matisse at Musée Matisse, or simply enjoying the array of shops, cafes and restaurants; Nice has everything you could possibly want for a city break.
