She is Lost Around the World

I spent three days exploring Nice and the French Riviera, using the city as my base while visiting places like Monaco and Menton. While Nice has plenty to offer, I quickly realized it’s also one of the best places to stay if you want to explore the rest of the French Riviera without constantly changing hotels. In this guide, I’ve put together the best day tours from Nice, whether you’re looking for experiences in the city itself, like food tours and sunset cruises, or full-day trips to some of the French Riviera’s most beautiful destinations. Whichever kind of day tours from Nice you’re after, if you’re trying to decide which…

When I planned my trip to the French Riviera, I originally thought Nice would be the highlight. After spending three days here, I realized something completely different. Nice is absolutely worth visiting, but what really makes it special is everything around it. The city itself is beautiful, easy to explore, and has plenty to keep you busy for a day, but it also happens to be the perfect base for discovering the rest of the French Riviera. Within minutes, you can be in places like Monaco, Menton, Èze, or Villefranche-sur-Mer without constantly changing hotels. That’s exactly what this Nice France Guide is for. Instead of overwhelming you with every detail,…

I spent 3 days in Nice while exploring the French Riviera and I think a lot of people get this city wrong. Nice is absolutely worth visiting, but I also don’t think you need to spend five or six days here. One day is enough to see the city’s main highlights, while the extra days are much better spent exploring the incredible towns nearby. That’s exactly what I did. I used Nice as my base to visit Monaco, Menton and other beautiful places along the French Riviera, and looking back, I wouldn’t have planned my trip any other way. So if you’re looking for the best things to do in…

One day in Nice covers the classics. Two days lets you actually do what the French Riviera is famous for — hopping between countries and villages that are all sitting a short train ride from each other. This is exactly how I’d plan a 2 day Nice itinerary: one day in Nice itself, and one full day out exploring the Riviera. I’ll give you two ways to do that second day too, depending on whether you’d rather plan it yourself or just show up and let someone else handle it. 2 Day Nice Itinerary: Quick Overview Full breakdown of this 2 day Nice itinerary below. 2 Day Nice Itinerary: Getting…

If you’ve only got 1 day in Nice, don’t panic — it’s genuinely doable. Nice isn’t a huge city, and if you stick to the classics and don’t try to cram in everything, you can see all the main stuff without feeling like you’re running the whole time. This itinerary is built around exactly that — the things most people actually want to see when they only have a day: the old town, the promenade, the viewpoints, good food, and a proper way to end the day instead of just wandering around waiting for sunset. 1 Day in Nice: Quick Itinerary Overview If you just want the short version before…

When I was planning my trip to the French Riviera, this was one of the first things I had to figure out: how many days in Nice do I actually need. I ended up spending three days in Nice, and I’d genuinely recommend that as a minimum. Not because Nice itself needs three days to see — it doesn’t. It’s because Nice is basically your base for the whole French Riviera, and the villages around it are some of the best this part of France has to offer. You want time to actually get out and see them, not just Nice itself. If you’re planning your own trip and wondering…

I visited Nice while traveling through the French Riviera because I wanted to visit Monaco as part of my goal of visiting every country in the world. Since Monaco is one of the smallest countries in the world, staying in Nice made the most sense, so I spent three days there and also took a day trip to Menton. Before arriving, I honestly wasn’t sure if Nice would just be another overrated tourist city. It gets so much attention that I expected it to be crowded, expensive, and maybe not as special as people make it sound. I was mostly looking at it as a convenient base rather than a…
