I love Nice as a baseline for exploring the French Riviera/Côte d'Azur because it offers the perks of a city combined with great beach access and easy trains to nearby small towns!

Overview: planning your time

Generally, I'd plan to give yourself most of a day to explore the city of Nice. Even if you're not interested in museums, there's plenty to see and stroll!

You need a beach day too! So much of the city is just steps away from the sea.

If you have more days, you have some options:

- spending more time at the beach is always a win, if that's your speed!

- get your glitz and glam on in a new country! Monaco is so close by - about 30 minutes by train - and a great one-day experience. Plus, it's even more expensive than Nice, so treating it as a day trip is a good way to see it economically.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Available for hire

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
