The destination dossier

 

 

Steering the course

Nice airport is one of the busiest in France. Once in Europe, you can easily get a connecting flight from any country there.

Cosy corners

If you don’t want to splurge, go for Les Camélias hotel. Else, there is Sheraton Four Points Elysée Palace.

The‘season’ed traveller goes now

The city has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers. April - June is the best time to visit.

‘Savour’ faire

Non-vegetarian can try ‘Pan Bagnat’ (tuna sandwich) and ‘Salade Nicoise’. It’s a struggle for vegetarians as seafood being the staple diet, even a fish burger is a vegetarian meal! Get to work

Visit Monument Aux Morts and Saint Nicolas Orthodox Cathedral. Nice has many museums that would keep a lot of art lovers intrigued.

What’s the word?

French is widely spoken. Bonjour Monsieur/Madame (Hi Sir/Ma’am) will come in handy while trying to start a conversation.

Keepsake courtesies

Nice is the best place for shopping and bargaining. Bring back French wine and postcards with beautiful paintings.
