The 15 Best Things to Do in Nice

34 tours

Nice works as a base as much as a destination: the Cours Saleya market in the morning, the Promenade in the afternoon, and the whole Riviera within an hour. These are the best bookings in and around the city, from Old Town food walks and sightseeing cruises to the day trips that use Nice as their departure point. Durations and prices are listed so you can build a week without double-booking a morning.
