Day 1 - Dive into the Vibrant Vibe of Nice

Begin your adventure with a leisurely stroll down the iconic Promenade des Anglais, a green-fringed waterfront known for its azure tones and pebbly beaches. Enjoy the bustling sidewalk cafes, where people-watching could almost be considered a sport. Next, head to the Old Town (Vieux Nice), a maze of narrow streets filled with vibrant markets, quint restaurants, and baroque churches that whisk you back in centuries. Make sure you taste a local delicacy, the socca, a delicious chickpea pancake. End your day indoors at the world-renowned MAMAC (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art). You're living in the heart of history and culture here, isn't it fascinating?

Day 2 - Unveil the Rich History and Panorama of Nice

Your second day in Nice brings a more spiritual experience. Visit the stunning Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the largest of its kind outside Russia. Its glamorous domes and sumptuous interior have forever enchanted visitors. From there, put on your walking shoes for a hike up to Castle Hill. It's quite a climb, but the panoramic views of Nice are worth every bead of sweat, trust me! Make sure to visit the hauntingly beautiful Castle Hill Cemetery. How often can you say you've mingled with history, beauty and the afterlife all in one day?

Day 3 - Say Au Revoir with Convincing Grace and Style

Spend your final day at the picturesque Cours Saleya Market, a riot of vibrant colours and scents. Fresh fruits, flowers, spices and local treats, isn't your senses just on a joy ride? Later, head down to the artisanal shops and boutiques in Maison Auer to grab some edible souvenirs. Wrap up your journey with a sunset at the Port of Nice. Satiate your seafood cravings at the port-side restaurants. Finally, toast to fabulous three days with a glass of local rosé. What a way to say 'au revoir' to Nice, don't you agree?
