Overview

Embark on an enchanting journey through the streets of Old Nice!

The Nice Old Town History and Food Self-guided Walking Tour lets you uncover the city's secrets and stories as you wander through its historic streets and iconic landmarks. This self-guided walk is perfect for those who want to learn about Nice's history, enjoy quick bites, and cover the highlights while deciding where to linger and explore further. Designed with the help of a local, the tour spans about 2.5 kilometers and takes between 1.5 to 2 hours, though you might find yourself captivated for up to 3 hours if you choose to stop and explore more in-depth.

Start your tour at Place Massena, stroll through the cobblestone streets to discover one of the ten most beautiful Baroque monuments in the world, delve into the history of Nice Cathedral, learn why there's no castle on Castle Hill, and so much more—all while savoring local delicacies.
