Wonderful place and totally worth the climb! Tip: go in the morning, the sun hits the hill on the other side. You will get better views and will avoid the crowds. Also, if you go in summer, it's way cooler!

Coming here in the rain turned out to be an excellent idea — there were almost no people around, and the views were still amazing. A bunch of viewpoints overlooking the city and the sea, walking trails, waterfalls, parks… it feels like someone was playing a video game and packed everything into one place. A beautiful experience.

The Colline du Château is also known as Castle Hill. It has several ideal lookouts / viewpoints from where you can see the best views of Nice. At the top there is even a terrace with a couple of benches, occasionally with a musician - there was a drummer when we were there. In addition to many scenic walks and viewpoints, there is also a waterfall, archeological ruins, playgrounds for children, and a cafe. It’s hard to miss seeing the Colline du Château from the famous Promenade d’Anglais and whether ascending either by steps on one side or a ramp on the other, it’s worth the effort. Spend an hour or the day as there are plenty of public restrooms and a couple of snack kiosks. Highly recommend!

Parc de la Colline du Château ended up being one of my favorite spots in Nice. The park is absolutely beautiful—lush pathways, peaceful corners, and some of the best panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean. Whether you hike up, take the stairs, or use the elevator, the views at the top are completely worth it. I loved wandering around the ruins, the gardens, and the waterfall area. It’s the perfect place to take a break from the busier streets below and just soak in the scenery. The mix of history and nature gives the whole park a calm, charming vibe. Overall, Parc de la Colline du Château is a must-visit when in Nice—great for photos, relaxing walks, and unbeatable views of the coastline and Old Town.

Colline du Château offers the quintessential Nice experience! Ascending to the top rewards you with arguably the most spectacular panoramic views of the Baie des Anges, the bustling port, and the terracotta rooftops of Vieux Nice. The waterfall is a delightful surprise, and the park itself is a perfect, peaceful escape from the city's energy. A must-visit spot for breathtaking scenery and a moment of calm reflection!

Amazing view point for Nice and a good day out for sure! There is a lift you can take to the top of the hill which definitely improves the accessibility. It is decently busy (but what else would you expect). Upon my visit there was 2 people I encountered who seemed to be a little pushy to get people to take pictures with their Doves in exchange for money.

Colline du Chateau, also known as Castle Hill is a wonderful walk with stunning views of Nice. The waterfall was spectacular. We were also surprised to find a couple of places at the top of the hill where you could purchase refreshments. No tickets required, the walk is free, unless of course you wish to skip the exercise and catch the little visitor train.

Great place to see modern art from not only France but all around the globe from different historical periods and movements and by different artists. Wonderfully structured and organized exhibitions on 4 floors. You can easily spend at least 2 hours contemplating all the art there.

This museum is excellent, offering a plethora of things to see. I was utterly stunned by the Niki de Saint Phalle collection. Additionally, there is a terrace with a wonderful view of Nice, making it a great place to spend time after the exhibition. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind

The permanent collection is interesting with amongst others the blue work from Nice born artist Yves Klein The temporary exhibition with African art did not impress me much. Too much copy-paste from "western" artist. The top level is open, and the sections connected with bridges so you can walk around have good views of the city below. There is even a small garden there.

Nice museum, a lot of space to walk around. Unfortunately there could be a bit more art especially more modern art. Yves Klein is nice to look at. For a few euros more you can buy a museum pass to see all the other in Nice as well. That’s good.

Weird and wonderful art here. Interesting enough to spend 1-2 hours. Modern and creative ways of portraying political messages. Well worth coming if you like art, otherwise perhaps not worth 10€ per adult. Several floors here, so you can always skip the less exciting ones. A great view of Nice from the top platform.

The staff is nice, but the museum is dirty and dusty, and it seems grungy. The coolest part is the roof or you can walk up and down these bridges to go all around the building and give you fantastic views. The place has great potential but it’s very tired, dirty and dusty. The Gardens looks like they might be under construction and there might be a plan to fix them up. I hope that’s true because it’s a space with incredible potential but right now it’s just ratty.

I highly recommend this contemporary art museum. It has a wide variety of exhibits, and the quality is quite good. It features renowned contemporary artists as well. I also strongly recommend visiting their rooftop, where you can enjoy the beautiful views of Nice.

I visited the Basilique Notre-Dame de Nice and was captivated by its neo-Gothic architecture. The twin towers and the large rose window depicting the Assumption of Mary are particularly striking. Inside, the serene atmosphere and beautiful stained glass windows provided a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. It’s a remarkable landmark that showcases the rich history and architectural beauty of Nice.

The light show at the Basilique Notre-Dame de l'Assomption was absolutely spectacular. The interior lighting was breathtaking and enhanced the spiritual atmosphere beautifully. The combination of music and visual effects highlighted the basilica’s undeniable beauty, making it a truly memorable experience. The only drawback is that the entire narrative is presented in French, so for non-French speakers, it’s more of a visual and musical treat rather than a fully immersive storytelling experience. Still, the artistry and ambiance make it well worth attending.

This is variously called the Nice Cathedral / Basilica / Notre-Dame of Nice amongst other by locals and tourists alike. It's a nice neo-Gothic styled church near to Gare Thiers. It was purposefully built by the French after they acquired Nice from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Basilique Notre-Dame de l'Assomption was absolutely spectacular. The interior lighting was stunning and really added to the spiritual atmosphere. However, we visited in June, and it was incredibly hot—around 100°F (38°C). There were about 150 people inside, and with no air conditioning, it felt like a sauna or even a barbecue. At one point, I genuinely thought someone might pass out from the heat. The beauty of the basilica is undeniable, but they really need to install some form of climate control. It’s hard to appreciate such a magnificent place when you're drenched in sweat.

Beautiful and peaceful cathedral. Definitely recommend a visit to take in the history and beauty of this amazing place.

Standing tall at the end of the street in the center of town is this impressive Basilica. Impressive high domed ceilings and a beautiful place to get lost in your thoughts and stop and reflect. I always at these beautiful churches and the money and time that goes into building and then maintain them. Another stunning European Basilica to cross off our bucket list. The stained glass windows are beautiful when the sun shines through.

Absolutely stunning visit to the Basilique Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Nice! The architecture is breathtaking and the atmosphere serene. The highlight? The “LiminScence” laser show inside the Notre-Dame—absolutely mesmerizing! A truly magical and unforgettable experience.

Nestled in the city center, the Nice Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of architecture. Its detailed design and calm atmosphere create a serene escape from the lively streets outside. The cathedral’s magnificent exterior and impressive interior are captivating, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in history and culture. The quiet ambiance adds to the sense of peace, allowing visitors to truly appreciate its beauty and significance. An unforgettable landmark that enriches the city’s charm – highly recommended for a visit.

Cathedral design in baroque architectural style. Relic of Sainte-Reparate housed within. The interior is also decorated in the baroque style. The dome vault is huge & so is the pipe organ of the Cathedral. My wife & I went for service there on Mother's Day. Mass Service was listed as 9am, 1030am, noon, The 1030am service started at 11am! Service was late, but the ceremony was beautiful.😇 Worth visiting, the organ music alone made the service outstanding!🙏

One of the first things to do after having icecreams at Fenocchio is to enter this Baroque cathedral in Place Rossetti. Established in 1699 and elevated to the status of Basilica in 1949, it houses the relics of St. Reparate, a woman martyred in Palestine, whose remains were brought to Nice in 1060. With 10 highly decorated chapels and an 11th one for baptism, this place of worship will easily take you 30-40 mins to admire if not more. Beware that churches here close at 6 PM, so try to enter atleast an hour earlier to beat the late afternoon crowds.

Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate de Nice is average when it comes to aesthetics (compared to other similar buildings). Entrance is free and it is well kept. Ok to stopp in for a moment if you’re already in the area.

I found Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate while exploring Old Nice, and it truly stopped me in my tracks. The Baroque interior is stunning golden details, calm light, and a deep sense of peace. It’s not large, but it’s full of soul and history. I’m glad I stepped inside.

The Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate de Nice is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture located in the heart of Nice’s Old Town. Its richly decorated interior, with elegant columns, golden details, and stunning frescoes, creates a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The exterior may seem modest compared to other cathedrals in France, but once inside, the beauty and craftsmanship are truly impressive. The cathedral is not very large, which makes it feel intimate and inviting. It’s a perfect place to take a quiet break from the busy streets of Nice and admire the art and history that the city has to offer.

Beautiful cathedral. We stumbled into this church and the choir was practicing...perfect.

Hiked up from old town Nice. It was quite a hike, but we made it in about an hour or so. Hiked down the other side to Villfranche. Ended up taking the train back to Nice.

A beautiful park with wonderful views of the surrounding area and plenty of picnic tables and benches to eat at. There are also little offshoot trails that loop around the park that are nice to walk down. The bus stops near the picnic tables but far away from the fort / castle near the top so be prepared to walk if you take transit.

A good hike to go to the Fort, people also bike up the hill. There is a gorgeous view.

Well worth the short climb up to this park. You will be rewarded with views of the old town of Nice as well as the beachfront. The new town and the mountains beyond are present in the background. Lots of places to relax on the grass and several benches. There are about a dozen viewpoints including the panaroma right at the top. Take food and water with you if you need them.

Lovely park to visit for a picnic, a good walk (fairly hilly), or to visit the fort (only external viewing available). You can drive right up to the top with free parking, or get the bus from Nice . Great views from the top of both Nice and Villefranche. The walk back down into Nice is scenic and very steep. Just a word of warning. The walk through the trees that is mapped in one of my pictures is very rough, rocky, and requires good footwear.

Exquisite views and history available to experience anytime on this hilltop park. Besure to walk the Stairs and ally ways through old town to get a true appreciation of this mountain side village. Spectacular sweeping views of the coast and mountains allow you to see from the Surf to the Snow. Walk the Stone path and find the bay, the cove, top of the hill with waterfall below... enjoy the history.

Walking to and around the park did not feel too exciting. I was probably most intrigued to see the fort, and disappointed that all you could see was the outside of that. But the views to the surrounding areas, as you might expect for where a fort has been built, are amazing. But I don't think I'd bother walking there from the centre of Nice again just for the view. But perhaps to see inside the fort if there was a chance.

We had the Daube Gnocchi which we came here specifically for. It was delicious, beef was very tender and the gnocchi was cooked to perfection. Very friendly service. Plenty of atmosphere just of the busy square where it’s located. Very reasonably priced too compared to many of the other restaurants in the area.

We wandered around looking for the perfect place for dinner. We stumbled upon Le Rossetti and glad we did! Our waitress was a pleasure, food was served quickly and very good. People watching was fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Would absolutely come back!

This is the first time im writing a review while still sitting at the restaurant. Staff is so nice, food and drinks are perfect!!! If you are near you must stop here, because you wont regret. Thanks to this restaurant for amazing experience

Very nice dinner in the heart of Nice's old town. Service was excellent and we really liked their traditional food options.

I come here, what, three or four times a year; and I always seem to end up with exactly the same table. Why do I come back? The food is prepared with love, the value for money is excellent and the welcome is genuine. Recommended.

We went for a late dinner and ordered the tuna nicoise and a pizza. The nicoise had no eggs and didn’t look like pictures here. The pizza was rubbish and looked like rolled with a rolling pin. The service was weird as it felt like the staff were standing around waiting for us to leave. Would not go again.

This sidewalk cafe in Nice France just off Plaza Rossetti is the idyllic place for a wood fired pizza and socca. We were treated to local flavors including truffle pizza and an Italian cheesy pizza. Friendly staff and wonderful service, highly recommend!

Decent place for affordable food. I liked the socca, but the pan bagnat was rather bland (it’s really big, however). The service was very friendly even when the place got super busy. Card payments are accepted for purchases of €10 or more. Must order drinks to dine in.

Stopped by for drinks and had a great, relaxed time. The place wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to get served and enjoy the atmosphere. The drinks were affordable, and overall it’s a nice spot to unwind, especially if you’re looking for something low-key.

We went to this place to eat the most hyped French snack socca And we realised that’s similar like our own “Indian cheela” It was just made with chickpea flour, water and oil. No added salt or vegetables how we have in India. Overall a great place to visit and enjoy.

Came here around 6.30pm on a Sunday. Mainly had to wait for a new batch of Socca to be cooked. We managed to get a bit of Socca from a first batch and fresh Socca from the next batch. The fresh Socca was amazing and crispy. The Socca from the first batch was a bit more stale and not as good as the freshly made one. Theres also a 10 euro minimum to use card (this was on a sign in French). One plate of Socca is 3.8 euro. You can only sit down at the table if you also order a wine at the bar across the street. Ordering a house red was only 3.1 euro.

joined a long queue at saturday 1pm and had to wait over 30 minutes for food. slightly overhyped, food was very oily. we really liked the aubergine and the stuffed vegetables. the sardine was quite fishy, and socca tasted burnt.

Sadly, we didn’t have a good experience here. The food was nothing special and tasted overly oily, without much flavor. The service was awful—a man came around to take drink orders, but he only reached our table near the end of our meal. The atmosphere was also unpleasant, with pigeons flying overhead and landing on tables. We had much better experiences at other restaurants in Nice.

I have been going there since I was a little kid. It’ll never get boring and the waiting line will be longer each time! What started as a little hole in a wall takes now a full corner. Enjoy Socca in situ or take away, if you decide to eat it there please accompany it with a glass of local wine preferably rosé and don’t forget to add lots of pepper, and brag you ate Socca like a local! How to know it was good?? Cooked on the edges and olive oil moist in the center. Bon appétit!!

The best place for sandwiches and other delicious stuff in Nice for a shorter stay, a nice glass of natural wine - just excellent 👏👏

I liked the food overall, but nothing too exciting. The location and view is excellent, I'd recommend it for that.

Came here with my friends, but it’s cute for date too. The food was amazing, the waiter helps us with the recommendations for the wines and food, which were on point. We had to wait a bit for the food tho, but it’s worth it :) Definitely will come back .

Service was quick and kind. Tiny little shop with fantastic food. The tuna in particular was mind blowing.

One of the best restaurants in Nice. The menu is always super tasty and new dishes are introduced regularly. The owners are very sweet and service minded. It’s a great place for lunch and dinner and watching the city.

I feel like this place had great potential. The server was kind of rude and didn’t think I understood French when he talked about my lady and I to another table. Secondly, I live near a large Vietnamese community and have come to know the flavors well and the food that was put in front of me didn’t live up to what it ought to be. I’m a chef and would normally never dog another chef, especially a female one cause I love y’all but I think all of the dishes need major work. Especially that pulled pork sandwich.

This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had, seriously. The food, the service, and the ambiance were all 10/10. Give this place a Michelin star!

Incredible view, great food. Benoit took great care of us. Pumpkin soup was so good we had to come back a second time.

All of the fish and chicken dishes that we ordered were excellent, and our server was very polite. The views of the sea, the sunset and the planes landing at the airport topped off the evening. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere.

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. I was traveling Solo in Nice and was looking for some fun experiences to make and treat myself. Even though I came without a reservation, the staff did their all to accommodate me. They then told me that a table might be free after circa 30min so they seated me in the drinks area. There I enjoyed a really nice Mocktail and the stunning view. When I got seated for dinner I ordered this amazing Cheeseburger and I don’t think you can perfect it more than it was. The chef knows what they’re doing! I stayed until the late evening but no one rushed me and I could enjoy my time as much as I wanted to. In general everyone was just so kind and I could tell they were making an effort so that each guest had a good time. I recommend this place to everyone looking for a great and fancy dinner experience with atmosphere.

One of the best food experiences in Nice! The food was absolutely amazing and the servers are really nice. The weather wasn’t the best when food was about to arrive so they moved us in where we still had an amazing view on the sea of Nice. I highly recommend this place for all olives and olive oil lovers.

Wonderful food in an exceptional setting. As the name indicates it’s a terrace but it sits on the rooftop of Le Méridien hotel. We came here for a lunch a dinner and also for drinks. Each time was great.

The only thing good about it was the view. We ordered the sea bass and cod. It was very bland and portion sizes for the prices were awfully tiny. The server never came by to check on us after we ordered. Do not recommend for dinner unless you are only looking for a good view.

The view is the best money can buy in Nice. Service is superb, and food is heavenly.

This was the highlight of our entire trip, take a short bus ride from Beaulieu Sur Mer, it's worth loading Lignes Dazur as this can be used on both bus and trams in the area. Entry is up hill so I recommend comfortable shoes and clothing as there is quite a lot of walking to appreciate the villa and garden in full. Entry fee is 13 Euros per adult which is very reasonable considering there is no time limit and you can stroll round and appreciate the beautiful interior and exterior. They offer a guide device in several different languages, they do require a identification for these to be provided but it is very informative and provides detailed guides throughout each area which is numbered to ensure you are able to take in the history. Upstairs there is a short film about Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild. The gardens are beautiful, each have different themes and a wide range of unique plants, flowers, statues and photo perfect views.

It's location for a luxury villa cannot be battered. You have stunning views of two bays from this elevated position a hundred or so feet above the sea. The villa is beautifully built and well maintained with interesting gardens which are beautiful with huge numbers of plants, water features and colourful flowers. Even though the villa was only built in 1912 it feels due to the workmanship, especially the masonry carvings that it was built a hundred or so years earlier. It's not a particularly large residence (unlike Waddesdon Manor in England). This I understand was their 'winter residence' which I could quite happily live in! The sun is out, not a cloud in the sky, no breeze. It is truly a magical place

Beautiful gardens with a stunning villa. Very tranquil settings for various style gardens offering plenty of shade. Inside the villa the rooms are carefully displayed with lovely paintings and antique furniture. A must to visit , highly recommended.

Take train to Beaulieu Sur Mer and then bus 15 which is just down the road om the left where you came out from the train station (on the right is SuperU market) Make sure to have cash, it cost 2 euro but since youll buy it without card or charging ur card it be 4 euro. 7 minutes ride. Then when u arrived there will be sign. Its a beautiful place they allow you to charge your phone there, honestly i dont have complain at all. I came when it was super sunny so it was lovely. Took a lot of pictures too. Theres student and special rates too, so book accordingly. I went on Tuesday, barely people it was bery nice

Absolutely stunning. Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is one of the most beautiful and memorable places to visit on the French Riviera. If you’re anywhere near Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, make the time to go. The villa was built in the early 1900s by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild. It’s filled with antiques, artwork, and rare porcelain, but the real highlight is outside. The gardens are on another level. There are nine of them, each with a different theme. The French garden has a beautiful fountains. The gardens are serene and beautifully designed. Every turn feels like a new discovery. What makes it even more special is the view. On one side, you see the Bay of Villefranche. On the other, the Bay of Beaulieu. You feel surrounded by water and sky, with the gardens stretching out in front of you. The villa itself is very well preserved. You get a strong sense of the baroness’s personality and taste. The audio guide is included with admission and adds just the right amount of detail without feeling too long. Plan to spend at least an hour and a half here. There’s also a café if you want to stop for a drink or a light bite. If you’re driving, try to arrive early since parking is limited. You can also get here easily by bus or taxi from nearby towns like Nice or Monaco. Whether you’re into history, architecture, gardens, or just beautiful places, this is worth every minute.

This beautiful belle epoch villa belonged to the Rothschild family. The villa is still originally furnished. The second highlight besides the villa are the gardens: nine separate gardens focus on roses, cacti, japanese plants, or succulents. There is a tearoom and a restaurant on site. Stunning views of the coast.

another gorgeous location - vast, lush gardens you can get lost in, absolutely stunning views and the villa itself is a testament to the endurance of luxury architecture and the human need for pleasure. moderately busy during midday/afternoon, but absolutely not a problem.

I was absolutely amazed by this villa — I didn’t even have enough time to take everything in. There’s so much to see, every detail catches your eye. Everything is done with such taste, and it’s a timeless design — you could easily live in these interiors even today. I truly enjoyed my visit.

Located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, this villa is one of the most incredible monuments on the French Riviera ! It bears witness to one man's passion for the Hellenistic period. It is a unique reconstruction of an ancient Greek residence, boasting all the luxury inherent to its beauty. The site is a true invitation to travel, with extraordinary decor and furnishings in marble, bronze, and ivory that adorn the salons and gardens. Commissioned in 1902, it is the brainchild of Théodore Reinach, archaeologist, patron of the arts, specialist in ancient Greece, and member of the "Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres". Driven by his passion, he commissioned his friend, the architect Emmanuel Pontremoli, a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, to design a villa modeled after those of 2nd and 1st century BC Greece. Both great admirers of ancient Greece, they collaborated, culminating in 1908 in the reconstruction of a house inspired by the noble residences of the island of Delos in the 2nd century BC, a Cycladic island whose architecture is renowned for its use of curved structures such as arches and vaults, adapted for the early 20th century! But Villa Kérylos is not a reproduction; it is a true reinvention. Organized around the traditional peristyle, the villa is constructed using the finest materials: antique stucco, Carrara and Siena marble, and exotic woods for the furnishings. The decoration is sumptuous: mosaics and frescoes are directly inspired by ancient documents, and scenes from famous painted vases adorn the walls, illustrating the great legends of classical gods and heroes. Emmanuel Pontremoli skillfully furnished the Villa with the modern comforts of the Belle Époque: the pool is supplied with water by taps concealed beneath round grilles, windows embellish the facades and bring natural light inside, while mirrors and bidets are hidden within the bathroom decor. Upon his death in 1928, Théodore Reinach bequeathed the Villa to the Institut de France. Then, a year later, the Théodore Reinach Foundation was established.

Amazing experience! The visitor is submerged into a fantasy of living like a Greek god, but with contemporary to the 20th century comforts. Allover very fine and stylish neogreek interior is decorated with the real museum collection of antiques. The views from every window are very picturesque and poetic. Beautiful heritage of a famous archaeologist Theodore Reinach is now accessible for any curious and enthusiastic visitor.

A stunning villa with incredible architecture and attention to detail. The interiors and the seaside location make it a truly unique experience. Definitely worth the visit.

As someone who already visited Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, I wasn't blown away. It is beautiful, however, I don't think I would come again. The price is maybe too high.

Lovely Greek oasis on the French Riviera, really nice decorations, interesting idea behind it, spectacular views from its windows, quiet and unique. I truly recommend! Beaulieu-sur-mer is a gem!

A very exquisite, elegant villa with fine detailed works and every room is a treasure chest. Visiting this place is a must when in Cote d'Azur.

Wonderful drive up to the top of the mountain. There are plenty of spots to stop and get great pictures. There's a large parking lot nearby, save yourself from being towed away.

Nice views to both sides. Good excursion opportunity when sunshine is there. Unfortunately the fort was closed.

Stunning views both east and west. I recorde recommend walking from the Nice Port up to the fort and then down to Villefranche-sur-Mer. From there you can take the train back to N.

The view was something else. We didn't go inside the fortress as it was closed, but the view itself was enough for us to be amazed.

Superb octogonal fortress built at the top of the Mont Boron's hill 220 meters above sea level. It offers a superb panoramic view of the surroundings : the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Italian borders on one side, the Bay of Nice and the Estérel on the other. In the middle of the 16th century, Nice was one of the essential points of the Savoy States Defense system in the face of Turkish invaders, allied with the French since 1543. The Rade de Villefranche-sur-Mer, because of its depth and sheltered situation, is the main commercial port of the region until the opening of the Port of Nice in the 18th century. It was also the Savoy War Port for four centuries. In 1557, the Fort du Mont-Alban was built on the orders of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoie. This massive work is designed as a complement to the fortresses of Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, and to control their connection: north of Mont Boron, the Fort du Mont-Alban flanks the Citadel Saint-Elme and the Dars of Villefranche-sur-Mer built at the same time, and protects the west of the city.

Great views, the fort itself was closed but it was still worth visiting

Great views of Nice and the coast!!!

If you're in the Old Nice area and you need a short break from markets and cafes/restaurants, this Musée du Palais Lascaris is an easy escape to the past. It's not big so you can finish going through it in under an hour and tickets were under 10 euros so very affordable. Dive into the history of the aristocratic place if Counts Lascaris-Vintimille and its architecture is influenced by 17th century Genoese baroque style. Lots of instruments on display, written works, furniture and tapestries, busts in the hallways.

Musée du Palais Lascaris is located in Nice’s historic center. It houses one of the largest musical instrument collections including rare pieces. The Palais used to belong to an aristocratic family that had links to old orders. The museum tells the history of the family as well. There are a few flights of stairs to be mindful of. Also if you do not read French, be on the lookout for large laminated descriptions of the informational plaques on the wall that are translated to English. Very informative. There was even a modern exhibition on the ground flood near the entrance related to water and pollution. Highly recommend

I stumbled upon this place by chance and was lucky to find out it was free entry for European Heritage Day! Such a fascinating historical site — filled with musical instruments, weapons, and engaging history videos. There was also a modern art exhibition inside, inspired by the blue sea. Absolutely beautiful and worth a visit! 🌊✨

A beautiful 17th century villa located in the old city. Its ornate ceilings, staircases, and, vintage Instruments make it a pleasant place to visit.

If your time in Niza is short, avoid this so called museum. The upkeep of the property is negligible, there are some interesting displays of historical string instruments and a small maritime room but I wouldn’t call the time spent here a learning experience.

Nice museum, not too long. Instrument are very interesting.

Not very big but a treasure trove of baroque instructions and other delightful things

We had the 6-course tasting menu and every bite was delicious. The portions were just right, the flavors so fresh, and the whole vibe felt cozy and family-run. We also had the tiramisu for dessert and it was so light and fluffy. Definitely one of those local spots that makes you fall in love with French food again.

We stumbled upon this lovely little restaurant and ended up having one of the best meals of our trip. The setting is intimate and charming, with soft lights and the buzz of conversation from nearby tables creating the perfect evening vibe. The food? Absolutely fantastic. Fresh oysters, juicy prawns, tender grilled octopus—each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Even the bread was amazing—crusty, warm, and perfect for dipping into olive oil and seafood juices. Every bite felt thoughtful and crafted with care. The wine paired perfectly, crisp and cool, and served with attention to detail. Speaking of which, the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and effortlessly kind. You can tell the staff really enjoy what they do and take pride in making people feel welcome. This place has that rare combination of great food, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. It’s more than just a meal—it’s the kind of experience you remember. Highly recommended.

Stumbled upon this quaint little tapas restaurant tucked away in an alley. The seafood tapas were amazing - the juicy coconut elephant prawns were our favourite. You can really taste the freshness of the tapas in each dish. And have I mentioned how tasty the octopus hummus is? Great place to visit! So glad we came. Not to mention the cute dog!

Wonderful spot just far enough outside of the hectic market area. Delicious seafood tapas. Everything was great- swordfish ravioli, tuna, octopus hummus, salmon burrata, wine, limoncello spritz and more. Outdoor seating with good shade on quiet side street. Great service from husband/wife owners and chef. Highly recommend!!

A nice and cozy place with delicious food. The service was quick, the food was tasty, slightly expensive and smaller portions. The king prawns are super tasty, kind of tourist trap but hey, I did it myself!

Delicious and fresh food with lots of menu options. The portions are small for the price, but that’s to be expected since they’re tapas. The staff was very friendly

Really nice tapas restaurant in the Old Town, centered around fish. Prices are between 9-13€ per tapas, which is reasonable considering you are served fish. Food was very tasty and the service was great. Highlight dish was the coconut panko Prawns.

Wow the portions are HUGE! Good place for Moroccan tangine

The food was good, and there was a lot of it.

Nice and cozy place! Really delicious food. Plate was pretty big, so I satisfied my hunger! Recommend this place 😊

Always good. Big portions of couscous and tangine. Very friendly service. Nicely decorated restaurant. I loved the softly blues and jazzy music in the background.

Such an amazing experience. Food is delicious and so authentic. Super affordable and staff were so friendly and helpful.

Delicious home cooked food. Hot and healthy .

I've been here a number of times. By far my favourite restaurant in Beaulieu. The food is absolutely incredible, portion sizes are amazing. The best Moroccan food I've ever had. Petit Darkoum is a must!

Fantastic food and very friendly staff. We had the Ceviche, pulpo salad and Cote de Veau which all were really great. Atmosphere was 4* as is is right next to a road. It did not bother us even though we sat outside. Recommend!

We have always enjoyed a good meal at our local brasserie. Staff are attentive, service excellent and dinner delicious and always a very good variety of menu options.

Great service, great food! We’re really impressed by the attention to detail—we went for lunch the first day of our stay in ville franche sur mer and went back for dinner and breakfast. Everything was delicious!

Fantastic brasserie. The pork loin, fillet steak, pizza and beef salad were all amazing. The raspberry dessert with meringue and chantilly cream was also lovely as was the lemon panacotta. Basically we loved the whole menu! And great friendly efficient staff as well

Amazing Neapolitan pizza and steak! The artichoke salad also was great.

Extraordinary good. We’ve visited quite a few restaurants in Nizza, but Brasserie du Col topped them all easily. We don’t speak much French but the waiter took time to explain all the dishes including the daily ones. He was all in all friendly and helpful. The food is stunning, from the starter: fried zucchini flowers and tatar with truffle, to our main course, risotto with scallop and truffle and grilled octopus, finished of with a great dessert. I will definitely come back! Thanks for that culinary experience

Very good food, very good service. Prices are astonishingly low for South of France (maybe because of a busy road next to restaurant). Portions are big. Indoor seating recommended if you want to have peace and no noise. The pizza was great but nothing special, hamburger was exquisite with baked cheese crispy, sauce tasty and meat fresh. The tentacles of octopus were stunning in tate and sauce was delicious. Top it off with tiramisu and coffee. Love these kind of places. Truly a hidden gem

Outstanding lunch with an incredible view! Made a reservation in advance online. When we arrived we were giving a prime oceanfront table and had great service. The calamari entree was tasty and the appetizer salad was refreshing. Would absolutely come back!

We had a fantastic meal at Mayssa Beach on Tuesday evening - the food was delicious and the views were stunning! Great food choices, Great cocktails and the desserts were out of this world! Highly Recommend & will definately return if we visit Nice again in the future!

Beautiful venue, wonderful service and delicious food. I wish we would have eaten here earlier in our trip, so we could go back. Don’t miss this amazing rooftop restaurant.

We had a delightful evening at Maya’s Beach. The service was top notch. The views were incredible over the bay. The food was some of the best we’ve had on our trip and the desserts were amazing. A great find in Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Outstanding and peaceful experience a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Nice. A great welcome from the owner Excellent table with a beautiful view of the harbour Delicious food and wines Attentive service Definitely worth a detour! Book well ahead for the secret table on the waters edge.

The location is beautiful with a great view of the harbor and a side profile of the picturesque front of the town itself. I wish the rest of the experience matched. The food was overcooked and under seasoned leaving a bland set of plates for both the lamb and the seafood linguine. Our server was barely around except for taking our order and then tried to automatically give himself 20% as a tip after I had to pour our bottle of wine and water myself the whole night. It's cute for drinks but I'd recommend doing lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants in front of the town right by the water, it's just too expensive for what you get.

Had a great lunch here with my wife….beautiful view, cocktails fabulous, food quality excellent. Villefrench sur Mer such a beautiful town we walked from Nice to build up an appetite!
