    Vieux Nice - I love Old Town Nice

    Vieux Nice

    This is the part of Nice that has a romantic Bohemian charm. Set on the hills overlooking the…read moreMediterranean Sea, it has long been the summer home of some of the world's rich and famous. Elton John and Steven Spielberg have owned homes here. Narrow medieval streets with winding alley ways are lit at night by old lamps which expose multi-colored French balconies, windows and beautifully colored red tiled roof buildings with rich histories. Street performers entertain in the evenings as you stroll through the narrow streets. Colorful and artistic personalities seem to gravitate to this part of town. Bars and restaurants are plentiful and diverse offering a wide range of cuisines. Some restaurants can be pricey like Le Boudoir and Di Piu but you can also find less expensive fare. It gets very hot in the summer but Old town Nice is blessed with many shade trees and the breeze from the sea is welcomed.. Small unique shops that sell local soaps, boutique clothing and perfumes can be found. There are also some more modern shops. Open air markets selling flowers, candies and sea food add much to the overall vibe of this area of Nice. I love gelato and thought the French have a nice version but I prefer Italian gelato.

    The first time I went to Vieux Nice, I remember wanting to live here, in one of those apartments…read morewith the view of the streets below. Old Town Nice is the place to be for a genuine French experience. There's so many little shops and restaurants around and most of the people speak english, so it's very helpful. They do appreciate you making the effort to speak french though, so make that effort above all else. I love the small little lanes and cobblestone roads, it's very beautiful and lovely. I love seeing that after all these years, they manage to keep this part of France so old fashioned, just how I like it.

    I always wanted to visit Nice, France. Nice, the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the…read moreFrench Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a retreat for 19th-century European elite, the city has also long attracted artists. Former resident Henri Matisse is honored with a career-spanning collection of paintings at Musée Matisse. Musée Marc Chagall features some of its namesake's major religious works. Our NCL Viva cruise ship stopped here on our return to the port of Rome, Italy. We had to take a tender from our cruise ship to the port of Nice. See my tender pics. At the port we loaded onto a tour bus, which took us to the Old Town Square area on the Mediterranean Sea. We were visiting Nice for the first time with another couple of our friends. As we were touring the old town square center, we decided to stop at the El Merkado Restaurant for a snack and some cocktails. We had a nice table for 4 outside. We ordered two of their cheese boards and some local red wine. The cheese board and local red wine was spectacular. There was lots of cheese to eat. We could not eat all the cheese. We should have ordered only one cheese board for the four of us. Service here was very good for us Americans who could barely speak French. Our total bill for both of us was 58 euro. I would return here for another cheese board. After our lunch and some shopping we took our tour bus back to the port to return to our ship. Nice was a very pretty town.

It has it own beach which is popular to the tourists and local alike. There is a few things you may want to check it out. Marché aux Fleurs Cours Saleya is the market of flower and also culinary art being on in this area. All type cuisine and flower in one place. It is at old Nice. Russian Orthodox Cathedral also an interesting place to see. The building of this Orthodox Church is unique. The Monastere of Cimiez is monastery with garden overlooking the nice beach and Mediterranean Sea. Near this area has Matisse Museum, the Arrenes de Cimiez. Nice is famous of their pebble beach. The Nice beach is pack during summer time. It has Monument aux morts de Raina-Capeu. It is to remember the falling military hero.

    First and foremost, castle place is massive. It's easy to see why it is one of the most popular…read morebeach clubs in Nice. The food, in general, was delicious. I actually think the straciatella was one of the best things I've ever tasted. That and the halloumi, as well as the ceviche, were our favorite items. The octopus, both in the fritto misto and the grilled octopus, was unfortunately rubbery. Overall, I would definitely recommend Castel Plage for a lunch or dinner. However, I had to dock a few stars for the service quality at the beach club itself. I understand that the venue is large and busy, but there's really no excuse for how inattentive the staff were. We were sat and told to peruse the menu, then didn't see our attendant at all. After about an hour and half later, and multiple unsuccessful attempts to catch the eye of our attendant, another group pointed their attendant in our direction so we could finally order just some water and drinks. Overall, I would highly recommend the food at Castel Plage, but I would suggest looking elsewhere on the beach for a true luxurious beach club experience.

Salad with lobster was bland. Service was fair except for the manager Chandra... very rude when we mentioned our distaste of the fish. She literally threw us dirty looks all evening after mentioning it. Ambiance- coastal garbage I would never recommend this place. The food was disgusting, and the bathrooms are horrendously dirty. Not sure how this place stays in business.

Ob man gemütlich entlang spaziert, eine Runde joggt oder einfach auf einer der zahlreichen blauen Bänke entspannt - die Atmosphäre ist immer beeindruckend. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Architektur der umliegenden Gebäude, wie das berühmte Hotel Negresco, das den Charme vergangener Zeiten versprüht. Auch die vielen Cafés und Restaurants entlang der Promenade laden dazu ein, die französische Küche bei einem Glas Wein oder einem Cappuccino zu genießen, während man das bunte Treiben beobachtet. Besonders schön ist die Promenade am Abend, wenn die Straßenlaternen leuchten und das Rauschen des Meeres eine romantische Stimmung zaubert. Für Kunstliebhaber gibt es immer wieder kleine Ausstellungen oder Straßenkünstler, die die kulturelle Vielfalt Nizzas zeigen. Die Promenade des Anglais ist mehr als nur ein Spazierweg - sie ist ein Erlebnis, das den Zauber der Côte d'Azur perfekt einfängt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

    This street is majestic. I walked both sides in the street's entirety--from Castle Hill down to…read moreParc Phoenix (on the Mediterranean side) and from Parc Phoenix back to Castle Hill (on the hotel/casino/city side). In truth, both are worth exploring, but it can be a bit much (about 4 miles each way). If you aren't up for that, I recommend staying seaside, but make sure to cross and check out Hotel Negresco and Villa Masséna Musée on the city side. I got an early start (I was out there around 07h30 on a Saturday, and it was great. The sunrise was beautiful through the clouds, and the seaside breeze was the perfect accoutrement to mid-seventies weather. For anyone going to Nice, taking a stroll down the Promenade is an absolute must. At the very least, I would walk from Castle Hill down past the beaches (closer to 2 miles instead of 4). Such a great experience! Enthusiastically, Clayton Cohn
