It has over four million annual visitors taking pleasure in the art and culture of the city including 19 museums (Matisse and Chagall among them), convention centre, three theatres, opera house and symphony orchestra. The train station is only a ten-minute walk from the apartment. This excellent service takes you to all the must-see towns and beaches along the Cote d’Azur.
Boulevard Dubouchage is one two main boulevards off the main street Ave Jean Medicin. It is the hub of all the shopping and cultural activities yet is also beside the Promenade des Anglais and Old Nice and within easy waking distance of the port where you will find great markets, antique shops and busy night life.
Nice is a year-round destination. Spend the summer time at the numerous Nice beaches or other resorts. Spend the winter sightseeing, shopping or skiing in the Alps at Valburg or Auron (less than 2 hours by public transport). There is no need for a car as everything is within easy reach.
