Nice offers something for everyone-and that is no cliche. Sun-worshippers, roller bladders, art aficionados, archaeology buffs, festival fans, amateur sleuths, food lovers and party animals will all find their niche in Nice. From its secret passages leading to narrow walkways throughout romantic old town, to the more modern and constantly busy hotspots, being bored in Nice is not an option. Mysterious ancient ruins compete with the sites, sounds and colors of bustling flower and produce markets. Pebble-crusted shores line the azure sea where the young and old frolic, while lovers walk hand-in-hand along the Promenade des Anglais, lined with palm trees alight with millions of fairy lights. For families, the boats and beaches provide plenty of fun. Some private beaches, Blue Beach for instance, have playground equipment and kid-friendly pools, complete with slides. Cascade Donjon is also a favorite place for families and couples alike. An 18th century artificial waterfall makes the perfect backdrop for a relaxing picnic lunch. Whatever strikes your fancy is here in Nice.
