Having lived in the South of France for 8 years, here is my recommended classic Nice city walk route

Suitable for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, this Nice city walk avoids backtracking and lets you explore Nice in one day~ Route: Place Masséna — Old Town — Cours Saleya Market — Castle Hill — I love Nice landmark — Promenade des Anglais (if you have time, you can also add the Marc Chagall Museum or Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral) Place Masséna (Pl. Massena) The liveliest square in Nice! It connects the new town and the old town. Jean Médecin street extends from the square, lined with shops, restaurants, and cafés. The square features a large fountain with bronze decorations symbolizing the planets of the solar system, and the seven surrounding sculptures represent the seven continents. Old Town (Vieux Nice) Nice was originally built by the Greeks, later conquered by the Roman Empire, and only freed from Italian rule in 1860. The old town retains a strong Italian atmosphere, with colorful ancient buildings and winding alleys hiding charming specialty shops, century-old restaurants, and bars. Cours Saleya Market (Marché Aux Fleurs Cours Saleya) The main pedestrian street in the old town, bustling with different markets throughout the week. On Sundays, there is a stamp and old book market; Mondays host an antique market; from Tuesday to Sunday, there are flower, fruit, and seafood markets. You can find all kinds of treasures here, from beautiful glass bottles to local products like cheese, essential oils, soaps, and olive oil. Castle Hill (Colline du Château) Standing 92 meters high, it takes only 15 minutes to climb to the top for panoramic views of the Bay of Angels and Nice’s old town. Don’t miss the 18th-century man-made waterfall here, which is perfect for photos. I love Nice landmark One of the must-visit photo spots, with frequently changing design styles. Promenade des Anglais In the 19th century, many British people chose the Bay of Angels in Nice as a winter holiday destination, and the promenade was built in 1822. This 5-kilometer-long avenue runs along the Bay of Angels, connecting Nice Airport and Castle Hill. The avenue is dotted with lush palm trees and is home to luxury boutiques and hotels. If you still have energy, here are two more options: Marc Chagall Museum Located near a quiet residential area in Nice. The museum houses over 200 famous paintings by the renowned French artist Marc Chagall. Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral Inspired by Moscow church designs, it clearly showcases early 17th-century architectural style. The interior is richly decorated with icons, murals, carved wooden panels, embossed and carved metal iconostasis. Architecture and culture enthusiasts should not miss this.
