Overview

Nice is southern France at its finest, with a dash of cosmopolitan vibes and a sprinkle of beach ambience topped off by all the glitz one could ever wish for. With sunny streets, a dreamy seafront promenade and a buzzing café culture, it’s no wonder this pastel-perfect port city is such a popular spot for a city break. There are plenty of world-renowned sights to visit and, more importantly, restaurants and hotels to call into for a bespoke dinner followed by an even better round of cocktails. You’re likely to stumble upon some famous scenes too – Le Negresco hotel, anyone? The likes of Dalí and Elizabeth Taylor have stayed there – you don’t want to miss that! Ready for a sunbathing afternoon? Bonjour, Promenade des Anglais! This palm-fringed prom provides front-row seats to a gorgeous swathe. When you add to that a picturesque port, enchanting Old Town, and the glamour of Cannes and Monaco nearby, you’ve got all the boxes ticked for a chic Cote d’Azur escape.
