The Nice Thing About Nice

Forget everything you think you know about Nice.

Yes, it's got that picture-perfect Mediterranean coastline and yes, the Instagram shots practically take themselves, but this isn't just another French Riviera postcard destination where you'll spend a fortune sipping overpriced rosé whilst dodging cruise ship crowds.

The Nice Things About Nice

Nice is a proper city with proper character; think bustling markets, affordable local bistros, and enough cultural clout to keep you busy between beach sessions.

Whether you're planning a long weekend escape or using it as your base for exploring the Côte d'Azur, this guide will help you navigate Nice like someone who actually lives there.

When to Visit Nice - Timing Your Perfect Trip

Peak Season Reality Check (July-August)

Summer in Nice means wall-to-wall tourists, eye-watering accommodation prices, and beach space at a premium.

The weather is glorious but you'll be sharing the sunny days with half of Europe.

Book months ahead if you're committed to peak season.

The Sweet Spot (May-June, September-October)

These shoulder months offer the best of both worlds: warm weather (20-25°C), manageable crowds, and reasonable prices.

September is particularly lovely; the sea's still warm from summer, but the tourist hordes have departed.

Winter Wandering (November-March)

Nice's mild winter climate (averaging 13°C) makes it perfect for off-season city breaks.

Many attractions remain open, hotel prices plummet, and you'll experience the city as locals do.

Pack a light jacket and enjoy having the Promenade des Anglais largely to yourself.
