Nice can be considered the capital of the French Riviera.
Located in the Bay of Angels, the city was founded by the ancient Greeks. It has attracted many famous artists over the years and is now also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Considered the capital of the French Riviera, Nice is a city that manages to capture the attention of tourists, thanks to the retro charm of the old town, the elegant belle époque-style architecture, the languid life around the harbor, the many art museums, such as the Matisse Museum and the Marc Chagall Museum, and the wonderful promenades along the sea, most notably the Promenade des Anglais. This is one of the most famous promenades on the French Riviera, a magnificent promenade surrounded by a beautiful urban setting, full of stunning period buildings, arcades and small squares overlooking the bay. In addition, several international events take place here: from the carnival to the Nice-Cannes marathon to the Paris-Nice cycling race.
