The Promenade des Anglais is, without a doubt, the most famous thing to do in Nice. Known as “Prom” by the locals, the famous avenue is more than just a seaside walk. Stretching for more than seven kilometres, from Nice Airport to Port Lympia, the Promenade des Anglais provides an unlimited and uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean Sea on one side and palm trees and stunning architecture on the other.
Your post brings back wonderful memories of my two visits to Nice – one in the autumn, one in the spring. I will forget the most delicious lobster meal in a tiny cafe hidden down an alley.
Sound like somewhere in Old Nice! I also had some of the best food while in Nice.
Planning a trip to Nice in June and I loved this post, so helpfull! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you. Enjoy Nice, hopefully you will have enough time to explore the surrounding cities
This makes me want to visit Nice so badly! It looks gorgeous there, and I love that the beach is so close to the city center!
Thanks! Indeed, it’s nice to have the beach right in the city centre!
We certainly did enjoy strolling along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. And we love the very European practice of “promenading” in the evening. I must admit the stone beaches were a challenge unless you paid to rent a chair. We will have to plan to visit the Massena Museum next time. It is definitely time we head back to Nice!
Thanks Linda! Agree, the pebbles are not the best for relaxing by the beach or even for walking barefoot. For that reason, a chair is a must. Alternatively, Villefranche-sue-Mer is very close by and they have sandy beaches.
Great post and information, Love the explanation of the Hotel Le Negresco
