Overview

It is a very varied and complete walking tour during which I will show you the jewels of Nice. Followed by recommendations.

During this tour, you will discover wonderful picturesque and colorful places, with magnificent architecture, narrow cobbled streets, countless restaurants, squares, churches, museums, cafes, wine bars, ice cream parlor.

The beautiful Place Masséna, the gardens and green spaces, the pedestrian zone, the Cours Saleya and the Promenade des Anglais will certainly not leave you indifferent. As they say, “Nissa la Bella” has crazy charm!
