Practical guide to Vieux Nice, Cours Saleya and Castle Hill

Nice Old Town, known as Le Vieux Nice, is one of the city’s most characterful areas. Its narrow streets, colourful façades, lively squares and historic buildings form a very pleasant maze to wander through.

Castle Hill adds a change of pace to the itinerary. After exploring the Old Town, heading up to this area allows you to see the city from another perspective, with panoramic views of the sea and the urban landscape.
