Nice, France

About Colline du Château

The castle hill above Vieux Nice — a 92m rocky outcrop with a waterfall, ancient ruins, and one of the best panoramic views on the entire Côte d'Azur: the sweep of the bay, the old town's terracotta rooftops, and the Alps in the distance. Take the lift from the seafront; walk down through the old town.

Promenade des Anglais

The most famous promenade in the world — 7km of seafront walkway along the Mediterranean where Belle Époque hotels, palm trees, and the deep blue of the Baie des Anges create an atmosphere of timeless glamour. Free to walk, free to swim from any of the beaches, and one of the great urban strolls in Europe.
