Finding Your Way Around Nice France was written by Gaizka Pujana from getreadynice.com
Nice may sound like a small town to you, but the city is deceptively large with so much happening all the time.
Depending on where you decide to stay, you will never be too far from the beach. The summer months see thousands of tourists from around the world mostly from around Europe and the United Kingdom flocking into the city to soak up the sun.
You can fly in to Nice via the Nice-Cote d'Azur airport which is situated to the west of the city. If you are staying in a hotel, you should be able to arrange a shuttle to take you from the airport to wherever you are staying. If, however, you would prefer to stay in a self-catering apartment or in a holiday rental then you may want to hire a car to get around. If you have the freedom of a rental car then you can explore the city at your leisure and get to some of the more out of the way places.
You do not need to worry about getting lost if you do because with so many tourists frequenting the city every year the locals are more than happy to help with any queries.
There are structured tours that you can take. This may be advisable in the peak summer months so that you can see the Nice countryside from the comfort of an air-conditioned bus. The public transport system is also first world, so there are plenty of options available.
There are many attractions in Nice, but some stand out more than others. One such place is the Cours Selaya Flower Market. In this area you will not only experience the true French market atmosphere in a myriad of colours but you will also be exposed to some of the best restaurants and bistros that Nice has to offer.
The Vieux Nice (Old Nice) is where you will be able to explore the city on foot. You will find yourself in old, cobbled, narrow streets lined with apartments and shops selling absolutely everything from trinkets to fragrances. This area is also famous for its nightlife, with some of the best bars and clubs being crammed into this area. If you visit this place, you do not need a strict plan you should just go with the flow and enjoy the atmosphere as you go from bar to bar, each with its own unique vibe and style.
Nice is also a short hop away from Monte Carlo and Cannes, Once again, if you have hired a car, then you can plan a day trip or even spend the night in another city. If you want to get the best deals then the best thing to do is to book early.
