Nice, France

Why Walk Nice

Nice offers the rare combination of beach city and cultural destination, all eminently walkable. The Promenade des Anglais stretches seven kilometers along the Baie des Anges, one of the world's most famous waterfront walks. Behind it, the Vieux Nice is a labyrinth of narrow streets painted in warm Mediterranean colors, centered on the Cours Saleya flower and food market. Castle Hill provides panoramic views of the coast and the terracotta rooftops below. The Cimiez neighborhood houses the Matisse Museum and a Roman amphitheater amid olive groves. The Place Massena, with its checkerboard pavement and contemporary art installations, connects the old and new towns. Nice's Nissart culture — part French, part Italian — gives it a unique culinary and architectural identity.
