Nice
Nice, with its spectacular Alps-to-Mediterranean surroundings and world-class museums, is the big-city highlight of the Riviera. Its seductive, traffic-free old city mixes Italian and French flavors to create a spicy Mediterranean dressing, while its big squares, broad seaside walkways, and long beaches invite lounging and people-watching.
