5 days in Nice Itinerary

Well-known for the beautiful views of its famous Promenade des Anglais waterfront, Nice is an ethnically-diverse coastal port city on the French Riviera and the fifth most populated city in France.

La Croisette and Old Town will appeal to history buffs. You'll explore and learn at Musée Marc Chagall and Palais Lascaris. Get out of town with these interesting Nice side-trips: Cannes (Rue d'Antibes & Lérins Islands), Musee International de la Parfumerie (in Grasse) and Antibes (Galerie du Faune & Musee Picasso). There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Blue Beach, explore the world behind art at Musee d'Art Moderne Et d'Art Contemporain, steep yourself in history at Place Garibaldi, and don't miss a visit to Place Massena.
