🏙️✨ Weekend Getaway in Nice: City Explorer’s Guide 🚶‍♂️🌸

#hellohalloween 📍 Location: Nice, France Beyond its beaches, Nice is a vibrant city full of history, architecture, and buzzing neighborhoods — perfect for a weekend of urban exploration. Walking through its colorful streets feels like stepping between Italy and France, with pastel facades, baroque churches, and a Mediterranean soul. 🚶♀️ Things to Do: Start your morning in Place Masséna, Nice’s grand square with its checkerboard floor, fountains, and red-ochre buildings. Wander into Avenue Jean Médecin, the city’s main shopping street, for boutiques and French department stores. Spend the afternoon exploring Vieux Nice (Old Town), a maze of markets, narrow alleys, and sunlit piazzas. Don’t miss Cours Saleya, where the flower market fills the air with vibrant colors and scents. For a touch of art and culture, visit the Marc Chagall National Museum or the Matisse Museum, both showing how the Riviera inspired great painters. 🥖 What to Eat: Pause for a coffee and pastry at a café terrace in Place Rossetti. For lunch, try socca or pissaladière from a market stall, then enjoy gelato from Fenocchio, offering dozens of unique flavors. In the evening, head to a bistro in the heart of the city for daube niçoise paired with local rosé wine. 💡 Savings Tip: Many of Nice’s most beautiful spots — Old Town squares, colorful markets, and panoramic viewpoints like Castle Hill — are free to explore. Public buses also connect the city affordably to nearby gems like Èze or Antibes. 🌆 Highlights: Pastel-colored Old Town, bustling local markets, street art in hidden alleys, and the mix of French elegance with Mediterranean warmth. ✨ Nice is more than the beach — it’s a city waiting to be explored corner by corner. Would you wander its streets this weekend? 🏙️🌸 #nice #weekendgetaway #cityexplorer #frenchriviera #urbanadventure
