CITY GUIDE

From Hôtel du Centre, explore Nice by foot or by tram: beaches, Old Town, museums, and day trips packed into 3 vibrant days.

Day 1 – Old Town, markets and panoramic views

Morning: Start your day with a coffee in the sunshine at Place Masséna, just a short walk from the hotel. Then stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town all the way to Cours Saleya, famous for its vibrant flower, fruit, and spice markets.

Lunchtime: Enjoy a typical Niçoise lunch on a terrace — perhaps a salad, a slice of pissaladière, or the local specialty socca.

Afternoon: Climb up Castle Hill (by foot or via lift) to take in one of the best views in town over the Bay of Angels and the rooftops of the Old Town.

From Hôtel du Centre, it’s a 15-minute walk or 10 minutes by tram to the Old Town (tram stop Jean Médecin → Opéra-Vieille Ville).

Day 2 – Beach time and cultural visits

Morning: Head to the Promenade des Anglais for a morning on the beach. Thanks to our partnerships, you can reserve a spot at a private beach including sunbed, towel, mattress, and umbrella.

Afternoon: Visit the elegant Masséna Museum just steps from the sea, or take tram line 1 to the Palais des Expositions for exhibitions, trade shows, or major events (around 15 minutes from Jean Médecin).

Evening: Enjoy the buzzing city center — late shopping, dinner in the pedestrian zone, or a drink in one of the nearby wine bars. Everything is within walking distance of the hotel.

The hotel is only 10 minutes on foot from the beach, just down Avenue Jean Médecin.

Day 3 – Brunch, coastal escapes and local life

Morning: Start with a hearty brunch at one of the cafés near the hotel (our team is happy to share their favorites).

Daytime: Looking for a quick escape? Take a train from Nice-Ville station (only 3 minutes from the hotel) to discover:

• Villefranche-sur-Mer and its postcard-perfect harbor

• Èze and its breathtaking clifftop views

• Monaco, just 25 minutes away for a royal glimpse

Staying during the school holidays? Ask the team about local events like night markets, beach concerts, and seasonal pop-ups.
