When talking about Nice, the simple fact of being a city on the French Riviera is a good reason to find it appealing. We could say that the city is divided into two areas, clearly shown by the character of the buildings, streets, etc. The modern area of Nice is well known for its classic wide avenues, parks, gardens and pedestrian areas, together with the presence of the principal shops of the city, which makes it an attractive commercial area. On the other hand, the old area of the city has more charm, with attractive facades and fully refurbished buildings in an intricate balance with one another. Don’t forget to take a stroll down the impressive Maritime Promenade, which is known as Promenade des Anglais: here you can find the famous Hotel Negresco, which was built in 1912 and nowadays is the highlight of the city.
And, among other things, just let yourself appreciate the special light in Mediterranean cities, a clear reflection of the blue sea… no wonder the name was given to the French Riviera coast, Côte d’Azur (blue coast). In one word, Nice is a Mediterranean city with authentic charm.
