About Nice

Nice is trendy, cosmopolitan, chic and full of money. As it is situated beside the sea you can just picture the type of people who stay here. You've got it - flash and with cash. Now, backpackers aren't known for frequenting the world's most exclusive resorts, but with the right clothes and attitude, nobody will know you're a budget traveller! view more»

Nice kills it

I based myself in Nice & got the train up & down the coast to see different villages/towns. It was great, each day exploring a new town. Even made it across the border to San Remo, Italy. Got great weather too!

  • Insider tip:Stay near the train station, so the walk to & from isn't far. The beach is a 10min walk from the train station.

Good gateway to Monaco

It's a nice place, but not a lot to do. Hang out on the beach, day trip to Monaco, and you're good to go.

Nice is another good in between the big cities city. Right by the beach, I bet it's way nicer in the summer time!

Hostel was alright. It was just 2 nights so it'd did the trick. Kinda small rooms, and the whole room stunk like rotten eggs if you left the bathroom door open. And the beds are terrifying. Try to get a top bunk, or you're going to spend the night thinking the person on top of you is going to fall atop you!!!

Unheralded Nice~

I seriously miss being in Nice~ Almost to the point where I wish I hadn't gone. Not really, i'd go back~ But, you get the point. It's amazing! The closest thing I can compare it to would be the Miami of Europe. The beaches during the summer (when i was there) are absolutely amazing~ Anything you want you can find.

  • Insider tip:Go to Wayne's!
