About Nice
Nice, the capital of the Côte d'Azur, is a Mediterranean destination known for its coastal beauty, warm light, and rich heritage that earned it a UNESCO World Heritage listing as a Riviera winter resort town. Visitors can stroll along the seven-kilometre Promenade des Anglais facing the Bay of Angels or explore the lively narrow streets of Vieux-Nice. The city is celebrated for its artistic legacy featuring works by Matisse and Chagall, alongside traditional Cuisine Nissarde specialities like socca and pissaladière. Every February, Nice also hosts a famous 15-day carnival filled with vibrant float parades and flower battles.
When to go
Nice is at its best for a direct sunshine break with old-town dinners and sea views.
Nice is an ideal destination year-round, but the shoulder seasons from late April to early June and September to mid-October offer the best overall experience with warm weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Summer brings balmy evenings and the Nice Jazz Festival, though peak tourist crowds fill up the beaches and narrow streets of the Old Town. Winter brings mild temperatures and lower hotel rates, except during February when accommodation prices rise for the iconic Carnaval de Nice.
