The promenade is always bustling with joggers or people having a nice stroll along or people heading down to the beach. There wasn't any time during our stay when the promenade wasn't very busy. The beach itself is full of pebbles but you can guarantee a great view from the promenade down onto the sea. The sea looks amazing. Very... more

Just returned from our 3rd visit to Nice - found all the construction for the new tram service a bit off puting but guess it will be very 'nice' when finished. Stayed at the Comfort Boreal hotel, opposite the Etoile shopping mall, situated ideally between the train station and the bus station. The hotel has gone a bit downhill since... more

Nice lovely walk with that someone special. Watch out for the homeless. more

The first time I went to Nice, the Promenade was a great disappointment. It was just like the first time to Paris, just to realise that the Camps Elysees was a motorway with 4 lines in each direction! The Promenade is a small motorway too – but only 2 lines in each direction (?). I do not know why the... more

I recently stayed in Nice this past summer (July) for 3 weeks. The weather was perfect (it only rained for about an hour one day, and it didn't even rain hard!). The climate is perfect there- one day it was 41*C and you couldn't even feel the heat!!! The town is extremely clean, especialy the Promenade des Anglais. You will... more

I have visited Nice many times, and have a bit of a soft spot for it, despite its downward spiral over the last few years. I visited again this week (after a series of disasters i was forced to stay in Nice before flying out of Nice airport. I had planned to avoid Nice altogether). On venturing to the pebble... more

I’ve just returned from Nice and I have to disagree with the guy who says “the whole city is one big pile of construction”. I read his criticisms just before leaving and began fretting about what we had booked. As it happens, I needn't have worried. The only time we encountered any construction work was when we reluctantly ventured out... more

I spent 4 days in Nice, summer 2004. Loved the old world charm of this beautiful Mediterranean city. It is picture-postcard perfect. Food and shopping were wonderful. Seek out the local restaurants in the winding streets of old Nice. We had traveled from Paris on the TGV (great train experience) and stayed in the Beau Rivage hotel. Although the hotel... more

Right now, they are putting in a new metro in Nice and the whole city is one big pile of construction. I don't know if Nice has changed since I went there in 1994, but I didn't like it at all this time. There weren't any pretty flower baskets on the streets. No one even went in the parks because... more
