Urban Trekking in Nice, the Queen of the French Riviera
April 17, 2025
55€
Let's enjoy the sunshine of Nice by exploring the city on foot.
Nice is one of the most fascinating cities in the Mediterranean, and its light has impressed the most important painters of the last century from Matisse to Chagall who even chose it as their home, while its pleasant winter temperature has attracted and continues to attract discerning travelers from all over the world.
During our urban trek we will discover the most characteristic corners of Nice from the hill of Cimiez to that of the Castle passing through the old town, characterized by craft stores, art galleries and typical restaurants. Here a stop at the flower market, one of the most characteristic markets in France, is a must. From Castle Hill we will enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the sea. We will descend to the port and walk along the Promenade des Anglais, the famous waterfront promenade, to the famous Negresco hotel. From here we will continue the trek ending at the train station.
