    5 Stars Nice, mon paradis! Diamond review 04/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Short cheap flight, sun, food, scenery, nice people, city AND beach

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pricey, have to risk life and limb sliding down a minor scree slope into the sea!

    My friend Annette and I both have special birthdays this year and decided we had to do something special to celebrate. Originally we thought of a weekend in Bath but as we didn't want to drive, the train was extortionate and the bus took for ever we looked a bit further afield. Now we have Jet2 from Leeds/Bradford airport, it was simple to look at their website to see where we could go reasonably cheaply. It was down to Prague or Nice; Nice won (could it be the promise of sun and seaside?!) Plus it only cost us about £20 each more than Bath believe it or not! TRAVEL The flight was easy to book ... more

    5 Stars My whistlestop tour of Nice! Review with images 05/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to get around, great scenery, good food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    As you’ve probably gathered from my recent reviews I visited Nice earlier on this month. This is the last of my Nice themed reviews and focuses on the city itself. Although most of the day was busy with meetings and presentations we were able to explore some of Nice in the evenings and in the extended lunch breaks we were given. I also spent an extra day there after the meeting had finished. So rather a whistestop tour but one I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ll go through some of the highlights for me in this review. **First Impressions** My first impression of Nice was from the air as we came to land ... more

    5 Stars Nice to see you Nice 10/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fountains, Sea, Sun, Mountains and all for free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pebbles, French men who think they are it

    Nice or Nizza as the locals know it. You've probably seen photos etc. I stayed here for four months it must have been about five years ago as part of my studies for European Business Studies with the University of Hertfordshire. I lived in Nice for four months as a student, in Valence (next to Lyons) working for six months and then about 3 years ago I lived in Caen in Normandy for four months. Each of these locations are so different as you would expect from France, but Nice remains my favourite memory, probably due to the large amount of free time that I had being a student (12 hours a week ... more

    5 Stars LA PROMENADE DES ANGLAIS 18/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice, a big town, on the sea side, close to mountains, good life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages So often fully booked even on low period due to congresspeople.

    For my first opinion on CIAO.UK, I am writing about my natural born town : Nice. Wherever weather is cloudy, rainy, windy and frozen, Nice is still sunny (more than 280 days per year) and warm in summer time (average temperature 26 - 30°) not cold in winter time (almost 12 - 20°). Last time I remember snow in Nice, it was 1986! and believe me it was such a mess on the roads and everywhere, no schools, most of the shops were closed, but good time and superbe pictures from the famous Promenade des Anglais covered by snow! Nice is located close to the italian frontier, so many italian influences ... more

    4 Stars An Opinion On Nice Without Puns 07/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots to do Good climate Great Food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the best beach in the world

    Nice the fifth largest city of France only became french in 1860 with a population of 350,000 it offers many attractions to its thousands of visitors each year. It makes an admirable hub from which to visit the many interesting towns and villages of the area. The shopping available is both varied and competitive and you are more likely to find a bargain here than in Cannes or St. Tropez. It also offers a fine selection of museums. If you are just seeking somewhere to lie on a beach Nice is not for you, while ok for topping up your tan or checking out the local beach fauna, there is no sand ... more
