Neptune

This is arguably one of the finest private beaches found along the seaside walkway. Make sure to take advantage of the surplus of activities on offer. Everything from pedalo boats to jet skis to lazy lounge chairs.

Cours Saleya

Nice's best-known market, this pedestrian district is attractively laid out, teeming with colorful stalls and lined with pleasant cafés and restaurants. No matter what time of day it is, there's always something happening here. 

L'Escalinada

Visit this delectable hideaway for simple home cooking along a back street of the cobbled Old Town. Snack on courgette flower beignets while choosing a handmade pasta. For a light lunch, try the hometown pride-salade Niçoise.

Mont Boron

Fabulous vistas of the Port of Nice and the Promenade des Anglais await at the top of Mont Boron, the home to several hillside celebrity villas. An easy walk along the downhill path back to the city adds a storybook ending to a sun-soaked day along the Côte d'Azur.

Cimiez

Old world meets new in this wealthy residential suburb north of town. Reminders of an ancient Roman past, including an intact amphitheatre and public baths, are juxtaposed with a vibrant modern art scene.

Molinard Perfume Factory

For an aromatic day trip, visit the fragrant town of Grasse and its famed perfume industry. Make your way to Molinard, where a keen sense of smell can help you concoct your own signature line. 

Centre de Plongée Sous-Marine

The shimmering Mediterranean entices many visitors to take a closer look. Dive into the azure blue sea to discover underwater caves and view the magnificent blue gorgonians, which is actually a spindly red coral.

Rue de France

Exclusive clothiers. Sidewalk cafés. Trinkets and treasures alike. Give in to the impulse to spend an afternoon (or three) along this decadent pedestrian mall.

Monaco/Monte-Carlo

The glittering of this famous place is highly recommended.
