Travel deals Nice - High-contrast, dreamy city on the Mediterranean!
The Côte d'Azur, the "azure blue coast", is one of the most charming regions on the French Mediterranean coast. It is characterised by Belle Epoque-style structures and has drawn visitors in the summer months since the 1920s. Many rich and famous people have a great regard for the exclusive area, with its beguiling blue sea and long sand beaches. Especially popular are the sophisticated towns Nice, Cannes and Saint Tropez. Whether shopping, dining elegantly or spending the day on the beach, the sweet life can be fully and completely enjoyed here. Not only the coast, but also the hilly hinterland, with its small mountain villages and cosy restaurants invite a holiday experience typical to southern France. Nice - High-contrast, dreamy city on the Mediterranean!This wonderful and popular harbour city on the Côte d'Azur draws visitors year round from all over the globe! Nice is the fifth-largest city in France, and offers diverse highlights: cultural, athletic, culinary, spa, and sight-seeing! Impressive churches, gorgeous parks and gardens, interesting museums, and irresistible shopping are all possibilities for your itinerary. On the famous Promenade des Anglais, which follows along parallel to the sea, you'll find various restaurants and bars serving specialities of the region. Here you'll also find the colourful Carneval parades, during which flowers are thrown into the crowds. While the historic town centre is shaped by baroque sacred and secular buildings, the new part of Nice is home to many luxury hotels and villas from the Belle Époque. As Nice is also surrounded by a few hills and mountains of the Southern Alps, you can also supplement your beach holiday with a few excellent hikes.
