Day 3: Sightseeing tour of Nice
Included meal: Breakfast
Nestled between Cannes and the Principality of Monaco on the Côte d’Azur, Nice is part cultural hub, part coastal resort, and entirely fascinating. Fall in love with La Belle—the Niçois’ affectionate nickname for their hometown—during a guided tour of the city this morning, and see which of its quarters claims your heart.
Drive along the Promenade des Anglais, a waterfront walkway dear to locals and tourists alike. Spot the various highlights called out by your Tour Director, like the distinguished Hotel Negresco and the iron sculpture known as La Chaise Bleue.
Stop in the upscale Cimiez neighborhood and take in a pair of legendary landmarks: the second-century ruins of a Roman amphitheater and the thriving, calming gardens of the Cimiez Monastery.
Conclude with free time in Nice’s Old Town, a labyrinth of narrow streets connecting bustling squares, quaint cafes, and the vibrant Cours Saleya market. (Looking for souvenirs? Pick up tapenades, candied fruit, and other local specialties for the gourmand in your life.)
Mega yachts. Movie stars. Formula 1. In Monaco, luxury reigns, and tonight’s optional excursion will give you a taste of life in the world’s second-smallest country—complete with a visit to the opulent Monte Carlo Casino. Alternatively, sneak away to Cap Ferrat and enjoy a short hike on the coastal Sentier du Littoral.
