“Nicest” region in Europe?

Nicest Region in Europe? Nice, France is located on the French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur). It's easily accessible by airport, car, or bus (Flixbus) as I came from Milan. I like Nice is that you can make it your base for the region. Spend a few days on the beach and at the castle (pictured above). You can do Monaco by bus or car. Then you can also hit Cannes, which is in the opposite direction. For being on the ocean, the restaurants affordable, but that all depends on your budget. I did find the Farmer's Market expensive, but strawberries in the winter are a luxury. If you don't want to spend on hotels or Airbnb, there are hostels. Plus, a tram runs through town to the ocean. However, the place is very walkable. I went off-season, so the crowds were minimal. #tripblazers #fallingforfall #beachlife #travel #france

Spring in Nice!

I was in Paris in March. Booked a flight via trip.com to Nice and explore the Southern coastal part of France. It was a great travel experience. Blessed with great weather. Nice is an interesting town to walk around especially the old quarter. We climbed up a small mountain to have a view of the lond beach of Nice. We also took a 30 mins train to explore Monaco. It was lovely! #nicefrance #Monaco

Downtown Nice, France

#wheretogo Exploring downtown Nice, France, is a delightful and enriching experience that goes beyond the allure of the French Riviera's pristine beaches. The city itself exudes a unique charm and charisma that's hard to resist. While many visitors are drawn to the azure waters, I found that the heart of Nice's appeal lies in its cityscape. Wandering through the streets, you're treated to a diverse culinary landscape that's a true reflection of the French way of life. From savoring the signature Socca in charming small eateries to indulging in buttery croissants at local bakeries, every culinary encounter is a celebration of flavor. The European-style architecture and historic buildings that line the streets are a visual feast in themselves. Nice's Old Town, with its narrow, winding streets and colorful facades, exudes a timeless European elegance. As you explore, each turn presents you with a new architectural gem, and you can't help but admire the city's rich heritage. One of the most enjoyable aspects of exploring downtown Nice is the freedom to eat your way through the city. The numerous street-side cafes and bistros offer delectable French cuisine, providing the perfect excuse to take a leisurely stroll and savor the culinary delights along the way. In summary, discovering downtown Nice is a multi-sensory journey that appeals to the taste buds, the eyes, and the soul. It's a place where you can appreciate the architecture, indulge in delectable French fare, and immerse yourself in the charisma of the city. It's a testament to the idea that there's so much more to the French Riviera than just its beaches, and Nice's downtown is a prime example of that allure.

Beautiful Nice promenade

#celebratewithtrip #france #nice Take a Stroll on the Promenade of the English Promenade des Anglais Another great thing to do is just walk alongside the beach. As this location was very popular with the English during Victorian times, the local authorities saw that many English tourists like to take a walk by the beach, hence the name Promenade of the English Nice beach Nice beach You will notice that the beach is actually unpleasant to sit on a simple towel given that it’s made up of polished stones. There are a few bars on the beach that offer their sunbeds for renting. Overall, we found it a very nice walk leading to the old city centre and especially on a sunny day it makes it very enjoyable.

Trip to Nice 🇫🇷

When we first arrived we explored the Old Town (Vieux Nice).This famous seafront promenade was constructed in the 1820s and is a symbol of Nice. It offered stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. 📍 Promenade des Anglais, 06000 Nice, France We then visited Castle Hill (Colline du Château).Although the castle itself no longer stands, Castle Hill provides panoramic views of Nice, the port, and the Baie des Anges. It also features beautiful gardens and a waterfall. 📍 Rue des Ponchettes, 06300 Nice, France We also wandered through the narrow, winding streets filled with colorful buildings, lively markets, and historic churches like the Nice Cathedral. We then visited the most famous restaurant, La Petite Maison. We ordered the Provençal Ratatouille and their famous "Le Poulet" (chicken) which was so delicious and we just love it. The price was considered affordable as well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 11 Rue Saint-François de Paule, 06300 Nice, France - **Recommended Dish:** We also visited Marc Chagall National Museum that was opened in 1973, this museum houses a substantial collection of works by the artist Marc Chagall, including his famous Biblical Message series. 📍 Avenue Docteur Ménard, 06000 Nice, France We also explored the Matisse Museum that is located in a 17th-century villa, the museum showcases the works of Henri Matisse, who spent a considerable part of his life in Nice. We also explored the Place Masséna. It is the main square of Nice, featuring beautiful architecture and vibrant atmosphere. It’s definitely a perfect place for an evening stroll. 📍 164 Avenue des Arènes de Cimiez, 06000 Nice, France We also visited my the most pretty Russian Orthodox Cathedral (Église Russe Saint-Nicolas). It is also known as Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, is an architectural gem in Nice. It was built in the early 20th century at the request of Tsar Nicholas II, to serve the large Russian community that resided in the city during the winter months. The cathedral's design is inspired by Russian Byzantine architecture, featuring vibrant onion domes and intricate mosaics. It's a unique cultural landmark that offers a glimpse into Nice's cosmopolitan history. 📍Avenue Nicolas II, 06000 Nice, France Overall, Nice was a very beautiful city to visit and the people there were all very nice and we really love it 😍 #vacation #trip #getaway

Visit Castle Hill Nice

#europetrip Castle Hill of Nice is a historic landmark and natural oasis in the heart of Nice. It's an easy walk up the hill, 15 minutes or so. From the top, you can catch panoramic views of the city's coastline, vibrant streets and picturesque rooftops. There is also remnants of an ancient castle at the top that you can explore, lush gardens and man made waterfalls.

The views from Castle Hill in #nicefrance are absolutely stunning. #solotravel #historicallandmarks #waterfall

Nice, the most beautiful Bay of Angels.

The most beautiful place in Nice is Angel Bay, and the best place to admire Angel Bay is Castle Hill. From the top, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Angel Bay. Of course, Castle Hill itself is also worth a visit. Castle Hill was established as a trading port by the Greeks thousands of years ago, which led to the establishment of Nice. Later, it was occupied by the Roman Empire and a magnificent military fortress was built, hence the name Castle Hill. Departing from the hotel in the morning, follow the beautiful Angel Bay to the east, and Castle Hill is located at the end of the famous Promenade des Anglais. The entrance to the mountain is actually a hotel, and you can climb up the stairs of the hotel building and follow the slightly steep mountain road to reach the top, or you can take the elevator directly to the top. The elevator is highly recommended. In the expensive South of France, this elevator is actually free. Except for a slight wait during peak hours, it is definitely the preferred way to climb the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, the original castle has been demolished, and only a few ruins of the fortress remain. The corridors, bathrooms, and churches of the Roman castle tell people about its past glory. The mountaintop has been designated as a park, with trees and a waterfall at the highest point. Most tourists gather at two observation decks. The western observation deck overlooks the entire old town of Nice and the azure Angel Bay. It is recommended to climb Castle Hill in the morning when the crescent-shaped Angel Bay extends to the horizon, and the sea emits a charming deep blue color in the light. This is the most beautiful Cote d'Azur. The eastern observation platform overlooks the entire Port Lympia, and the harbor is full of luxury yachts. The distant red lighthouse guides the yachts in and out of the harbor safely.

Castle Hill

#celebratewithtrip Castle Hill in Nice dominates the city and divides the seaside part of Nice into two parts, the eastern part with the port and the western part with the old town of Nice. Going up the hill, you can either take the 300 steps from the old town or take the Castle Hill Elevator ( Ascensur ) is free, bringing you almost to the top. Once on top you can discover several hidden gems as well as cafes, gift shops, amazing views and children's favorite playgrounds. You can explore what is left of the Chateau, see the ruins of an ancient Cathedral and enjoy Le Park du Chateau on the hill. The 92 meters high hill offers views from all sides, and tourists take the most recognizable photos of Nice from here.

Stunning Nice 🇫🇷

#celebratewithtrip #nice #france #views #viewsworththetrip Enjoy the views from Mount Alban & Fort On this mountain you will be able to find the 16th century fort with the same name which protected the nearby areas as well as stunning views of Port Lympia and the nearby gulfs. The fort was closed when we went there but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this spectacular view. From there you can proceed through the forest. Walking down the hill you will notice that this area is a like a public garden with plenty of picnic benches and recreational game areas. To be enjoyed on a sunny Sunday for sure! Amazing place :)

fort du mont alban

Fort du Mont Alban is some 2 kilometers east of Nice. Built between 1557 and 1560, Fort du Mont Alban is one of the most exemplary French military architectural structures dating back to the 16th century. The purpose of its construction was, for military nature. Fort du Mont Alban has survived in good condition, despite the World War Two. At present, Fort du Mont Alban is one of the best sightings to visit as tourists can see the entire Nice at west. as such, this is definitely a sighting not to miss when you are visiting nice in future. it is an excellent day trip idea, for you to take nice photos. Address: 06032, Agradavel, France

Fort du Mont Alban, Nice, France 🇫🇷

#celebratewithtrip #nice #france #fort Amazing views and a must go when in Nice. We visited this on our last day. Went there by public transport. The ticket is just 1.5 euros or you can get a day card with unlimited trips for 5 euros. We climbed a steep hill to get to the Fort but at the end it was totally worth it. The Fort is rather impressive but it was closed when we were there, so we could only go around and admire the views. Built by order of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, between 1557 and 1560, Fort du Mont Alban is one of the most exemplary French military architectural structures dating back to the 16th century. The purpose of its construction was, of course, of military nature: to reinforce the defense line considerably debilitate as a result of the siege of Nice (in 1543). But what is striking about Fort du Mont Alban is it has survived, as said, in good condition, despite the fact it was considerably affected in World War Two.
