Russian Orthodox Cathedral
St. Nicholas Cathedral is one of the best and most unusual buildings in all of Nice! If you wander the typical French streets and see the colorful shutters and stone houses, you can’t miss the striking Russian architecture of the cathedral on Avenue Nicolas II. In fact, it is known as one of the most impressive Russian Orthodox churches outside of Russia.
Vieux Nice
Old Nice is the best place where you will find the history, churches and squares of the city. Walk through the lively narrow and pastel-colored streets and imagine yourself back in time. On every corner you will find small restaurants, beautiful squares and the sound of live music. Old Nice is located just below Castle Hill and it is nice to explore from there or from Place Massena. To explore the city fully, take advantage of the hop-on and hop-off bus.
Place Masséna
Place Masséna is nice’s main square. The large square with checkerboard tiles is located between the old and new city and leads to the shopping street and many good restaurants. Place Masséna is also a good starting point for a stroll through Nice’s Old Town.
Coco Beach
Coco Beach is located just past the port and the beach of La Reserve. It is a nice little bay with rocks where you can put down your towel for sunbathing. This one is a bit more remote than the others, and so the best place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A day trip to Menton
Menton is a beautiful city, located east of Nice right next to the border with Italy. The unique blend of French and Italian culture creates colored houses, streets full of the best beautiful palm trees, many gardens and streets in the Italian style. It is no wonder that Menton is called ‘The Pearl of France’. Spend a day here wandering the streets, taking photos and enjoying delicious Italian food.
