On the Mediterranean coast and only a few kilometres from Italy, Nice has all the charm of a southern city. Even before you reach the tarmac in Nice, the view from the plane will take your breath away. No wonder Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport has been voted as one of the most beautiful arrivals in the world for several years running. In addition to the extraordinary scenery on the Mediterranean Sea, the mountainous panorama that is covered with snow in winter is also awe-inspiring. The Vieux-Nice, with its narrow streets, its yellow and ochre facades, its small craftsmen's shops, its restaurants make it a very famous district in Nice and especially unmissable!
Find a place near the Promenade des Anglais
The Promenade des Anglais, also known as the Prom', is the main avenue along the coast. It is no less than 7 kilometres long. It is internationally known for its luxurious hotels, its "blue chairs" and its pergolas. To fully enjoy this place, we advise you to leave your car and walk along it. For this purpose, you will have the opportunity to find free parking spaces located on the Avenue des Baumettes and its neighbouring streets. However, these streets are very busy and to avoid searching for a place for hours, we recommend you to reserve a place with Parkimeter in one of the car parks near the Promenade des Anglais.
