You can enjoy the sunshine in the beach; you can swim in the sea; you can walk in the red carpet like the stars etc. Here is the list of Top 10 most popular activities.
1. English Promenade
This is a typical sunny walkway in the Mediterranean city, exuding a charming and elegant aristocratic atmosphere. On one side is the vast expanse of the sea, and on the other side is a luxury hotel hidden behind lush palms. During the day, the sun reflected on the surface of the sea is sparkling and very eye-catching. When the night falls, the colorful light is dyed in the whole bay and is dreamlike. Take a leisurely walk on this avenue and unconsciously take a deep breath and then you can feel completely relaxed. On this promenade, there are often some wonderful performances and cultural events.
2. Côte d’Azur
The name is very straightforward to interpret the coast. You can have a cup of coffee and chat with your friends. You can lie down and feel the sunshine and the sea wind, and you can swim in the sea and feel the freedom. Staying here for a day, you will feel that time is stretched but it is also going very fast. Please note that the beaches of Nice are made up of pebbles. It’s not a sandy beach, so maybe it’s a little painful but feel very comfortable.
3. Matisse Art Museum
If you love art, don’t miss the Matisse Art Museum. The Matisse Art Museum is located in the olive groves of Cimiez park. The museum rotates to show the personal work of Matisse. Matisse is a representative of the Fauvism and he lived in Nice until his death. The art museum displays works of Matisse of various periods, and also shows his paintings and life history.
4. Chagall Art Gallery
If you like art, this is also an art museum that cannot be missed. What is special is that Chagall also participated in the design of the pavilion. The museum is also known as the “National Chagall Bible Information Museum” because it collects a series of 17 Bible-themed paintings of Chagall. In essence, the creation and collection of this museum are based on religious subjects. Chagall’s style and color are unique, especially his whimsy, which makes people stop at the front of his works and try to figure out what he was thinking. If you like Chagall, it’s really recommended!
5. Nice Castle
Castle Hill was the place where the Greek Fukais chose to build a business place thousands of years before, and therefore the city of Nice was built. It is a great place to overlook the Angel Bay. There is a free elevator and you can also climb the mountain by yourself if you wish. It’s not very high, so it’s a good choice to look around the scenery along the way when walking. In the morning the Angel Bay in the photo is more beautiful with the better lights, and the backlight is darker in the afternoon.
6. Saleya Square
Saleya Square is the commercial center of Nice for hundreds of years and a distribution center for various commodities. There is the antiques market every Monday, and there are the flower market, the fruit market, the seafood market from Tuesday to Sunday.
