5 days in Nice Itinerary

Well-known for the beautiful views of its famous Promenade des Anglais waterfront, Nice is an ethnically-diverse coastal port city on the French Riviera and the fifth most populated city in France.

Attractions like Marineland and Place Massena make great kid-friendly stops. Change things up with these side-trips from Nice: La Ferme du Far West (in Antibes), La Croisette (in Cannes) and Pitchoun Forest (in Villeneuve-Loubet). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Musée Marc Chagall, explore the galleries of Palais Lascaris, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Eglise St Pierre & Paul, and find something for the whole family at Parc Koaland.
