Best Things to Do in Nice
The world-famous beach is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Nice. The city boasts many museums, churches and ruins to keep any history buff happy for days. There are also plenty of opportunities to spend some money: Boutiques and large department stores abound in the Masséna, while the Cours Saleya offers everything from freshly cut flowers to brocante (bric-a-brac) stalls. Just make sure to save some energy for after sundown; Nice has one of the hottest nightlife scenes in the Riviera.
