Seven days on the Riviera

How to organise a week in Nice

Keep three days for Nice itself and alternate them with nearby trips. Check train times and the weather before leaving.

Explore the centre, the Promenade des Anglais, Old Nice, Castle Hill, the port and Cimiez.

Spend the day in Èze. Wear comfortable shoes for the steep village streets.

Travel by train and focus on the old town, the harbour and Monte-Carlo. Use our Monaco from Nice guide to set priorities.

Choose Antibes for its ramparts and beaches, Cannes for the Croisette, or Menton for a colourful eastern day trip. Keep one day flexible.

For the first three days, open the Nice trip planner.
