Useful Tips

If you have more time, visit the beautiful village of Eze or take a day trip to Monaco. For families with kids, the Acropolis of Nice and the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco are also great options. If you have less time, skip the Gorges du Verdon or the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Keep in mind that some places are closed on Mondays or Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen and water. Don't forget to try the local cuisine, including socca, salade niçoise, and pissaladière.
