Nice Travel Forum

saw alot of the post is 3 days of nice, is that the amount of time needed in that town?

am planning to go 29th.jun - 1st jul thou. still thinking where to stay. where would you recommend single traveller to stay? and is in town area & SAfe? :D

Nice is a very safe place. I had no problem roaming the streets bymyself early in the am or late in the evening. You can use Nice as a base to visit Monaco and Cannes. I would say two to three days in Nice. Check out my Nice page. I have the hotel I stayed at which was very nice, safe and centrally located.

hi there!

we stayed in nice for 3 nights last year... I loved it there, beach and the shops etc...

you could take the train to monaco & spend the day there & then you could shop one day & see the sights or hit the beach...

the beach was my favorite... I can hear the guy now who walks up and down the beach selling "beerrrra, coca, coca light, berra etc etc" & he also sells watermelon too!!!

& the gelati shops near by were great too!!! hehe

we stayed up near the train station so a little walk from the beach & it was a little rougher were we stayed so id suggest somewhere closer to the beach!!!

am sure looking fw to the hols there.

LKM1018, did u drive there? Is the transport system good there ie trains?

actually am travelling from aix to Nice. still trying to figure out how to get there.

we did busabout from Cinque Terre... we caught the buses around though to perfum factory & stuff...

We flew into Nice then hopped a cab. Took a bus tour to Monaco that we arranged through the hotel front desk.

3 days is really not enough time for Nice. 3 weeks, using Nice as a base for the riviera, is not enough time. But 3 days is a start. I would stay at one of the following hotels, Windsor, Villa Victoria, Le Cigales and there are many more....these three are very nice 3 star hotels, all in the same area, great location...easy to walk to the beachfront, the train station and the old town. It is a very nice, safe area generally called the composers district. As for safety, we walk all over Nice, never take a bus or a taxi. Just don't, if your a woman, wear a shoulder-strap purse and in fact try to avoid a purse that doesn't fit into a pocket. Also, don't carry more than 50-75 eu in your daily travels. Purse snatchers are the only real threat
