Nice is the elegant capital of the French Riviera, set along the sparkling Mediterranean coast in southern France.

Stroll the Promenade des Anglais at golden hour and you'll instantly understand the Riviera's timeless allure!
When to go
Late spring and early fall offer warm, pleasant weather with thinner crowds than the busy summer high season. July and August are hot and very popular, filling beaches and raising prices. Winters are mild compared with much of Europe, making the city enjoyable in the quieter low season.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Nice almost always means a single transatlantic connection, usually through Montreal, Toronto, or a major European hub like Paris. Direct transatlantic service can be seasonal, so a little flexibility with your dates pays off. Keep in mind that the ocean crossing is typically an overnight flight.
What to see and do
- Strolling the seafront Promenade des Anglais
- Wandering the colourful lanes of Vieux Nice (Old Town)
- Taking in the view from Castle Hill (Colline du Château)
- Visiting the Musée Matisse and its art collections
Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro, and the city is very walkable with a handy tram and bus network that even connects the airport, so there's no need for a rental car in town; when you'd rather ride, Uber and Bolt work well. Basic French is appreciated, though English is common in tourist areas. Beaches are pebbly rather than sandy, so water shoes can be useful, and keep an eye on belongings in crowded spots.
