Nice Pocket Guide
Capital of France's illustrious Côte d'Azur, Nice is, if you'll pardon the expression, nice. The city's best known strip, Promenade des Anglais, boasts amazing views of the city and overlooks Nice's rocky beaches, making it a haven for sun worshippers. But don't worry if lying motionless on your back isn't your thing. Nice has fascinating museums, one of Europe's most charming old towns, while it is also the gateway to the rest of the Côte d'Azur, meaning both Cannes and Monaco are right on your doorstep.

My favorite city yet
Nice (and the surrounding area) is my favorite place that I've ever been to- beautiful sites, great weather, and so many surreal towns that are easy to reach by bus.
Insider Tip:Avoid going in the summer (peak times) if you can...I went in late March and there was already a good amount of tourists. For day trips, I would recommend Vence + St. Paul de Vence (1 trip), Eze (1 trip), and Beaulieu sur Mer + St. Jean Cap Ferrat (1 trip). The first two are quintessential, quaint French towns while the last trip are beautiful sea towns to the SE of Nice. Google them, every one was great!

Nice
Great city but it is a major tourist vacation city so prices are astronomical and lots of people from all over.
Insider Tip:Go to Monaco/Monte Carol for half a day and look around. Explore the old town and get some food from there. Check out the beach and relax for a couple hours while soaking in the sun.
