I went to Nice on a business meeting. The meeting was held at Best Western Hotel.
Airport transport - Nice airport is small but comfortable. Easily reached by all types of transport. I took a bus from airport to Hotel which cost around Eur4.00. Traveling back to airport I used the bus again, and their service is excellent and on time. Some information - the airport was built some years ago and its existing place was a small hill.
The City - I will divide Nice in two parts, the old and the touristic city. I loved to walk around. It is a safe place. It is a must to walk along Anglais Promenade. I used to go out early morning to enjoy the early Mediterranean breeze. It is a walk having the sea on one side, and a lot of hotels on the other.
Promenade des Angalis - the beached are nice and full of pebbles. I saw people cleaning the beaches daily, early in the morning. You will also find free showers. You will find a lot of artists along the promenade, selling modern, abstract and contemporary art pieces.
After Promenade des Angalisyou will find Boscalo Park. It is a nice garden leading to the old city.
The old city - It is a very nice place. The streets are narrow and you can find a lot of shops selling paintings from across the world. In this part and adjacent to it I found a lot of good quality restaurants. They specialize in everything. They have good wine as well. In this part of the city, there is a garden on a hill, where you can go either on foot or by using the lift against a small fee. The scene from the top is fantastic.
