Located between Cannes and Monaco on the French Riviera, Nice is famous for being one of Europe's most alluring and charming Mediterranean resorts. With its dazzling blue seas, glorious climate, sumptuous scenery, enviable location, splendid cuisine and thriving art scene it is easy to see why this city has remained a favourite with visitors for more than 200 years. With an elegance and charm which is as captivating as it is unique, this is likely to continue for many more years to come!
The fact that Nice enjoys mild temperatures for most of the year ensures there is never a bad time to visit. The hills to the north of the city provide Nice with added protection from inclement winds thus, in addition to receiving more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Nice also enjoys clear skies and mild temperatures throughout the winter months as well. This inviting climate, along with the fact that Nice Airport can be reached from the UK in less than two hours, makes Nice a particularly good destination for British tourists looking for either a summer or winter break. The time zone in Nice conforms to Central European Time.
While the golden beaches and inviting waters of the Mediterranean are perhaps the biggest draw of holidays to Nice, they are certainly not all that this city to offer. For instance, the charming Old Town (Vieux Nice), with its cobbled streets, boutique shops and sublime restaurants, is reason enough to visit all by itself. Art aficionados will be captivated by the Matisse Museum at Cimiez while the Colline du Château park is an absolute must for scenery lovers, with its enchanting collection of pine trees, iconic waterfalls and breathtaking views across the city. Then there is the legendary Promenade des Anglais, certainly no holiday to Nice is complete with enjoying an evening stroll down this perennially attractive thoroughfare.
