Welcome to Nice ! Authentic and modern at the same time, Nice has countless assets to offer… Urban, cultural, seaside and gastronomic discoveries all add up to a holiday full of emotion all year round.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a “Winter Resort Town of the Riviera” in 2021, the city’s cultural wealth will surprise you, inviting you to get away from it all. Discover the districts that saw the arrival of the first winter visitors and admire the façades and period gems such as the Gare du Sud and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas.
Nice also has a wealth of expertise and tasty products to enjoy throughout your stay. Here, gastronomy is so important that Nice cuisine has its own quality label. “Cuisine Nissarde, le respect de la tradition” is awarded every year to around thirty gourmet addresses where you can taste the specialities of Nice.
With its international airport, almost 200 hotels, 7 km of beaches, a wide range of activities, major sporting and cultural events, a city centre and countless shops, Nice is sure to please!
Nice is also very committed to sustainable development and environmental protection in a number of areas, including the development of soft mobility and green spaces, the certification of committed accommodation providers, and the roll-out of slow-tourism experiences…
