The SEEN by Oliver Rooftop Restaurant and Bar at the top of the Anantara Palace Nice Hotel for drinks or dinner. A spectacular view of the city, any time of the day or in the evening, and the food is excellent.
This is a great walking city. Old town is quaint. The Promenade des Anglais is beautiful at sunset. There's a wonderful style to the people here. I highly recommend a trip outside of town to visit the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Built in 1900 in Italian palazzo style, this luxurious mansion is surrounded by 9 magnificent gardens and overlooks the sea.
Stay long enough to take in the culture, and book a photographer!
Le Frog
Walking tour, Castle Hill Park, Museums
Le Plongeoir for the view and amazing lounge bar right next to the water!
Walking through old town was lovely! We will be seeing more in the coming days I am sure!
Just be present and enjoy the views and company!
Lao Viet. It had authentic Vietnamese food.
Walking by the shore at night.
Pack light since there is a lot of waking involved especially in the summer.
Nice is beautiful but many beaches in other small towns are worth the quick train ride. Visit Eze and Villefranche sue Mar!
We loved chez palmyre. Wonderful food and great service.
Semtimi!! Delicious food, drinks, service and views.
Castle hill, Opéra Plage, the markets, and all the colorful buildings.
Le Barque Bleue! Amazing seafood pasta plate for dinner. Also Cafe Garibaldi on the square had great happy hour bar deals!!
Must see the top of castle hill, the floral market on a Saturday morning, coco beach, aka everything!!
The rocky beaches calls for sandals or water shoes! Be sure to pack or purchase on arrival :) Or take a short bus/train ride to Cannes or Antibes beaches!

Andrea in Nice for Flytographer
I loved Waka Bar, it had an amazing view of the water and delicious drinks.
Walking through the pedestrian area looking at the shops and restaurants.
Wear comfortable shoes, lots of walking and exploring!
La Cave du Fromager! Hands down some of the best food my palate has ever experienced. Great, intimate atmosphere and wonderful service!
•Simply relaxing at a cafe with a glass of wine •Spending time up in Eze village! Gorgeous medieval village with incredible views while enjoying great food/cocktails
Le Plongeoir is a must-do dining experience. Amazing experience on the water and food did not disappoint!!
Book Flytographer!! :)
Le Canon had amazing local cuisine and an awesome wine selection. We also enjoyed many local bakeries for breakfast, particularly Les Petits Pains de Méditerranée and Bio Brod. We also highly recommend KOOC Teahouse, a small tea shop we enjoyed light refreshments at after our engagement.
Chateau Crémat is a winery a short drive away that inspired Coco Chanel with a great tour and wine tasting. We also enjoyed a surreal comic opera experience at the Nice Operahouse. The park Promenade du Paillon has a nice romantic walk as well with beautiful sculptures and scenery

Gaetan in Nice for Flytographer
A food tour is a must in Nice!! So many amazing spots to try and why not do it with a foodie. And the beach clubs are the perfect place to spend a hot day !
Give yourself time to explore ! And there is an amazing run path along the ocean. Such a great way to see the coast line!
Gepetto’s was our favorite restaurant! Amazing Italian food and hilarious proprietors, but you do need a reservation in advance!
Loved Castle Hill, wandering through Old Town, and all of the Museums (MAMAC, Matisse, Chagall).
We booked an ocean view room at Le Negresco and it was so worth it! With a little balcony over looking the bay, it was the perfect couples trip!
Nice is such a magical city. It's full of amazing bars and cafes. Some of our favorites were plage du castel, you must go there after visiting the gorgeous Castle Hill. In the heart of old town nice we found an amazing little Indian restaurant, the Indian Lounge that we highly recommend.
Our favorite experience was exploring the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. The villa and views in the gardens were absolutely spectacular. Also you can't leave without visiting the cafe and getting champagne, ice cream, and maybe a little coffee to continue your adventures. Another great experience was renting a classic Porsche from Rent a classic car Europe and driving around the French Riviera. It was the highlight of our trip for sure. We took the scenic route to Eze and ate at the restaurant at Chateau Eze. Past presidents have dined here, between the views and the food we can't think of anywhere better to be.
Explore as much as possible. Walk the promenade, explore the old town, and eat as much as possible because the food is the best you will ever have here.
Mama Baker is a must! This bakery was by far the best we have been to! Enjoy the beach. Bring a towel and spend the afternoon/day there.

Make sure you visit some of the great museums (Matisse, Maeght, Picasso) that are within 30 minutes from town. Explore the beautiful medieval villages of eve, St. Paul de Vence... And try to make it to Jan for some delicious food!
My best tip for the trip is to make reservations at the beach and to take the tram! It was so easy to get around and inexpensive.
We visited Le Galet in Nice, as recommended by Gaetan. We loved it! the food, the atmosphere, the sea... what more could you ask for!
Nice is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy life. There is delicious food to eat, amazing beaches to enjoy, and wonderful places to walk and take in the views.
Nice was such a great home base for exploring the Cote d'Azur! We loved all of the day trips we took, Eze was our favorite- what a charming city!
Take the train to get from town to town! It is so easy and efficient to get anywhere you’ll want to go. You will see so much and avoid the hassles of navigating and parking.

Thiebauld in Nice for Flytographer
Live the French lifestyle. Take it slow, enjoy every sip of your coffee, eat large lunches and take naps. Don't be afraid to try public transportation, either!
Make sure you visit La Rossetissierie for dinner, and get gelato from Gelateria Azzuro! Doing day trips to the other coastal villagers is also a must - we especially enjoyed Eze and Antibes.
We took a tour on one of the days around the French Riviera and got to see Old Town Nice, Eze, Antibes, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Cannes. For a first time trip, it was nice to be able to see a little bit of everything. We stayed at the Holiday Inn - Saint Laurent du Var, which has its own private beach. Socca, the chickpea pancake, is absolutely delicious! The Cours Saleya market in Old Town Nice was amazing!
