Nice is a charming city located along the French Riviera. Come and explore the city’s pedestrianised Old Town or see some of France’s best sites, which include its fine opera house, and its art museums, which have works from Monet, Degas, Renoir and Rodin on display.

This popular holiday destination can boast long hot summers and has loads of beaches for you to relax on, these are pebbly rather than sandy but are extremely clean.

Many families holiday in Nice. It's also a great base if you want to hire a car and discover neighbouring cities like Cannes and St. Tropez. Take a leaf out of the locals book and go for a stroll through the Parc du Chateaux. Enjoy great panoramic views of Nice itself and the sparkling Baie des Anges from this shady park.

If you’re visiting Nice on a budget you'll be glad to know that there's lots of accommodation to cater for your needs. Want to stay in a hotel near the beach? Look no further than the 2 star Paradis Hotel. This hotel boasts stunning views of the blue Mediterranean sea!

You'll be a short stroll from all of the city's top attractions when you stay in Hotel Comte de Nice or Pavillion de Rivioli Hotel. Why not take advantage of your location and go to the Cimiez district, which features famous Roman ruins in the Nice Archaeological Museum. You’re also just a few minutes walk from the central train station so you can travel to the villages and towns just out of Nice too!
