  • The best place for stunning views, exotic plants, brilliant photos and unforgettable memories. It's totally worth it. Off season (late november) you pay 4 euros.

  • A lovely garden with amazing views. My sister and I were lucky enough to get chairs in the quiet reflection area (unlikely during peak season) and it was beautiful and peaceful.

  • Beautiful garden with beautiful view. We enjoyed strolling around. Definitely worth the visit if weather is good. Helps if one has a car to get there as it's a bit outside of Nice.
  • Go here for the amazing panoramic views on clear days! (See pics 📸) The gardens are average unless you are an avid botanist or interested for particular plant species available here. Entry fee is 6 euro per person.
  • Such a beautiful view! It would be a shame to go there without going to the top. Castle ruins crown the mountain and it's a great place for pictures. There are also a couple of water falls and places to sit along the way up (perfect for those who need a break). It is a good bit of walking so make sure the people with you have the endurance for it. My 78 year old grandfather was able to make it to the top, so it is possible. Honestly one of my favorite places in the Rivera. I will say, it does cost 4€ to go up for adults and 3.50€ for students but it's definitely worth it!
  • You get beautiful views from here. Just don’t bring a stroller. It’s steep in places and there’s a million steps. You can purchase tickets for the exotic garden at kiosks in the town and avoid the line up at the garden entrance.
  • For Americans, this garden is not exotic whatsoever (the plants are mostly succulents) but the view is amazing and worth the trip up. And it’s much less expensive than paying for the view at one of the exceptional nearby restaurants. Go around the Mediterranean Garden to see a nice little waterfall.
