The tram from the airport to the centre of Nice is only 1 Euro 50 cents, an absolute bargain. Also the 100 bus from Nice to Monaco or Menton is also 1 Euro 50 cents. We holiday in Nice every year and stay at Pebbles Holiday Rentals - we recommend then.

[@TheAbundantTraveler]

That’s a great tip. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@nbcnice7220]

j’habite à nice il y a aussi une carte de 10 voyages = 10€ et des pass. Pass 1 jours = 5 € pass 1 semaine = 15 €

I was in Nice for 9 days with my wife and 13-year-old son last June (2019). Was blessed to be able to stay with a friend who lives there with his family (wife & 2 kids). It was a great time. We went (bus or train) to Ventimiglia in Italy, Monaco, St. Paul-de-Vence. Most people (European tourists and natives) won't approach you, but they're generally happy to engage in conversation with you.

Original Nike-Town During the Greek Empire in 500BC, the hill above the Old Town was named Nike, which is Greek for ‘victory’, making Nice the original Nike-Town. During its multi-century Italian period it was called Nizza, and since becoming French just 150 years ago, it is called Nice. The people of Nice are Niçoise, have their own dialect called Nissart.

Love the daily markets at Liberation Sq. And the Antique fair each Monday in old town ! Can get buses for 1 ot 2 eu at the stop near the airport to St Paul de Vence, or Grasse to see where the perfume comes from. Great day trips from Nice. Also 1/2hour to Monte Carlo by train, or Cannes the other direction. Nice is very central to stay at. I got air BNB in February-march, they have a big Carnival going on Yearly ! Cold, but beautiful golden sunshine & no tourists!

Me and my parents went there on our European Vacation when I was 9 years old. And yes I do remember walking on the beach barefoot we thought it would be sand but no it was rocks and it hurt to walk on it.

[@TheAbundantTraveler]

Those rocks can be very serious. Water shoes are a must :-)

[@nanettehayakawa7628]

Off season is a great time to experience Nice because hotels are at a lesser cost and so are air flights. Nice is a very beautiful place to sightsee and go to art museums. This trip that I will take in February I will go to the Observatory I'm looking forward to seeing the telescopes and the planets. Also, the night sky will be perfect for star gazing and maybe a Milky Way astrophotography shot. Shopping at the flea market is always great - the first time I was in Nice we came back with all kinds of packable treasures. BTW: shopping is best off season for sale goods.

[@TheAbundantTraveler]

Great tips. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for watching the video.

Good video. If you want to swim but dont like rocks, take the train to Villefranche or Cap Ferrat; great sand beaches.

[@TheAbundantTraveler]

Thanks for the tips! I love all the beaches across the Riviera.

[@bryanjeske6856]

Thank-you for this very helpful info !!! You answered very important questions on my mind - yes , most of Europe cannot afford air-conditioning so you will have to search for it - and it will definitely cost you more Euros !!! Now , with these heat waves and large crowds in August you must be cautious. Nice is very beautiful - too bad about the stones on the beach , but your advice is excellent with the proper foot wear !!! You must try the creme de la creme perfect pastries and chocolat to get some energy :) I have never been to Nice , but I sure want to visit - maybe in December 😁👍

[@TheAbundantTraveler]

My family owns a property right outside of nice, although this isn’t a nice tip it’s still a sometbing thing to do while you’re there, when we spend our summers in nice we sometimes like to rent a car and take a day trip to either the Tuscany region of Italy, or even a bordering town in Italy like ventimigglia which is only half an hour away, another place I love going to while I spend time in the French Riviera is cassis, absolutely stunning.
