Overview

Nestled in southeastern France on the Mediterranean Sea, Nice is the capital � and chief resort � of the Riviera. Although it's sometimes overshadowed by its more glamorous neighbor Cannes, Nice is a charming port city blessed with a number of cultural and recreational attractions. Visitors from around the world are drawn to its pebbly beaches and narrow, cobblestone streets. Cars are forbidden in the old town, which sits up against the romantic hill, Colline du Chateau. Tourists can stroll past quaint caf�s, outdoor markets, and Latin-flavored squares. Further south, the Promenade des Anglais offers an enchanting walk along the sea front. Like most of the Riviera, the nightlife in Nice is hopping with trendy clubs and restaurants. For the culturally minded, Nice is home to one university and a number of fine museums, including Mus�e Matisse and Mus�e Chagall.
