Visiting Nice in 5 days: what you need to know<\/h2>\n\n

What to see in Nice<\/h3>\n\n

Nicknamed Nissa la Bella by its inhabitants, Nice is well worth a visit for several reasons. Unusual activities, nature in the city, museums, architectural gems and fine dining: the C\u00f4te d’Azur capital is known first and foremost for its idyllic location on the C\u00f4te d’Azur. Its sunny climate and its azure blue beaches attracted us immediately. Its picturesque old town, or “Vieux Nice”, is full of narrow streets where we enjoyed getting lost, colorful buildings and lively markets. The Italian and antique influences on some of the buildings in this district offer an authentic atmosphere and a glimpse of local history and culture.<\/p>\n\n
