Nice is the capital of the Riviera and one of the largest cities in France. The city attracts an amazing 3.2 million visitors every year, and this is not surprising, considering its attractions. The weather is truly wonderful here, a great place to enjoy the sea, the sun and the sand. The people are friendly, the architecture is impressive, and the fragrance of the past and Roman, Greek, Russian and Greek influences still linger.
A good way to see Nice is to take a ride on the Train Touristique de Nice, which runs every day from April to August. This way you’ll see the main attractions of the city encapsulated in an enjoyable forty-minute train ride.

Nice is of course famous for its beaches - they stretch for over four miles continuously. These beaches are full of pebbles called galets. There are many private beaches for the traveler who would like some seclusion; most of them close to the old town near the western part of the bay. These beaches are generally attached to hotels, but may be accessed for a fee. Topless sunbathing is quite common on the beaches of Nice.

The town itself is lovely, with its attractive location, and the nightlife is exciting and fun. However, there are plenty of museums here too. A Carte Passe-Musée will give you entrance to the seven largest museums in the city – it costs €15 for 3 days and €25 for 7 days and is well worth the price.

Nice is a great option for a holiday, offering a relaxing way to spend several days, visiting museums, partying or simply lazing on the cobbled beaches. The mixture of French and Italian influences here makes it particularly interesting. Tourists should. However, be wary of pickpockets, who are unfortunately quite common in Nice.
