Things to do in Nice include visiting the rocky beaches along the French Riviera, which boasts influences from 7th-century BC Greek settlements, and exploring the local arts and cultural community. In Nice, you can see the works of Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall and other iconic artists, or you can relax on the pebbled beaches of the deep-blue ocean.

You can walk the bustling boardwalks of the Old Port or get lost in the Old Town historic district with colourful buildings and picturesque plazas. Enjoy a true taste of Nice when you head for Cours Saleya to visit traditional public markets filled with arts and crafts, flowers and fresh fruits, or hit the Promenade des Anglais for legendary white-sand beaches and magical museums.
