Historic City Tour of Nice
See all there is to see in the historic city of Nice. Located on the Mediterranean coast, Nice is one of the most popular touristic destinations on the shores of this large inland sea, due both to its paradisiacal beaches and to its many beautiful sites and landmarks. Your tour begins with a visit to the magnificent Castle Park. This wonderful area that overlooks the bay was the site of the ancient trading town founded by the Greeks about 600 years before the birth of Christ. After taking in some of those awe-inspiring views, enjoy a leisurely drive along the port from where the legendary Catherine Segurane halted a Turkish invasion in the 16th century. Admire some of the city’s most fabulous constructions, such as the Genoese architecture. And later on, contemplate the city sprawl beneath your feet like a carpet of toy houses from atop Mont Boron. See also how the old and the new blend effortlessly in this multicultural city. The old is ever present in the breathtaking Place Garibaldi whereas the new decorated the trendy promenade des Arts. Last but not least, arrive in Cimiez, the winter home of Queen Victoria. Here you will make a stop at the magnificently preserved Roman Arena and another one at the famous Cathedral. Return by the Promenade des Anglais and admire the beautiful views. The tour ends with a stroll around the aromatic flower market in Cours Saleya; a true delight for the senses.
