Old Nice

In the old town of Nice, you will enjoy the picturesque charm of this ancient Italian city. The historic quarter has preserved a small village soul, with a maze of enclosed and coloured alleys. Located feet in the water and adjacent to the Port of Nice, the old centre is a small compressed triangle between the Albert 1er Garden and the harbour radius. It is a lively area, filled with small cafes and terrace restaurants typical of Provence, and at the same time with a quiet olympian and relaxing. A good place to sleep in Nice if you don't watch the budget every day...

The Port and Garibaldi

Entangled between the old town and Mont Boron, this neighborhood – very well served by public transport, Acropolis and Nice-Riquier stations – houses many restaurants, bars and cafes where it is good to hang out on the terrace during the beautiful days. The area is located between the Castle Hill and Carnot Boulevard, one of the most shopping areas in Nice. It is a pleasant area where to stay in Nice, especially since it breathes the popular and authentic life in Provencal, without being in the richness stall, current in the region.

Libération

This is possible the most gentrification-prone neighbourhood in Nice: although excentrated, the Libération district offers a pleasant living environment, on the Niçoise heights, with terraces where to spend good time and especially land-use projects, with shops, restaurants, multiplex cinema, a sports complex, a covered market and underground parking. Enjoy housing now, because you can bet on an increase in rents in the near future!

Promenade des Anglais

It is one of the world’s most famous avenues: created in 1820, it is 7 km long and runs along the Baie des Anges between Nice Côte d’Azur airport and the old city. The walk also runs along famous palaces, like the famous Negresco and casinos. To sleep in the district of the Promenade des Anglais, you should not be frying on the budget: the countless luxury hotels and residences that follow along the Promenade can be very expensive, especially during the Carnival of Nice.
