Nice Travel Guide

Edit Section - Nice Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Nice is a popular tourist destination on the sparkling French Riviera (also known as the Cote d'Azur). It's still so popular that you're likely to hear as much English spoken as French, and in summertime, the palm-lined pebble beaches and promenades are thronged with sunbathers and holiday shoppers. Still, Nice doesn't have quite the overbearing glitz of other Cote d'Azur destinations, such as St. Tropez. Though the calm of its crystal blue waters can be drowned out by the throb of well-dressed crowds and nightclubs, this charming seaside town isn't only for the rich and famous. Outdoor markets and affordable hostels couple with art museums devoted to Matisse and Chagall; palaces and cathedrals offer glimpses into past centuries; surrounding hills and cliffs offer hikes with stellar views. And now that the city has grown enough to rank with some of France's largest, it has turned up a gritty urban underbelly that, at the very least, gives the town more of a down-to-earth feel.
