She is Lost Around the World

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 for three days at the start of summer and the timing worked out great. Sunny, warm, everything was open, and prices hadn’t hit full summer peak yet.

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…

One of the biggest reasons I enjoyed staying in Nice so much wasn’t actually the city itself—it was how easy it was to explore the rest of the French Riviera. I only stayed there for three days, but using Nice as my base meant I could easily visit both Monaco and Menton, two places that had been on my bucket list for a long time. What I quickly realized is that those aren’t your only options. There are so many amazing day trips from Nice that you could honestly spend over a week here without running out of places to explore. Whether you’re looking for colorful villages, glamorous cities, beautiful…

I visited Menton while exploring the French Riviera, and I’ll be honest—I thought I’d spend a couple of hours there before moving on to the next town. That definitely didn’t happen. Menton ended up being one of my favorite places on the Riviera. It’s colorful, relaxed, right on the Mediterranean, and it feels completely different from places like Nice or Monaco. I could easily picture myself coming back just to spend a few slow days here. Even though it’s a small town, there are actually plenty of things to do in Menton. You can wander through the Old Town, spend the afternoon at the beach, eat some amazing Italian food,…
