Holidays in Nice

An introduction to Nice

When it comes to city breaks by the sea, they don't get much chicer than holidays to Nice. Aristocratic architecture. Swish shops, high art and fine dining. And miles and miles of pale pebble shore soaked in seemingly endless sunshine. Welcome to the Med's glitziest metropolis.

Nice holidays have been a hit with Brits since Queen Victoria was on the throne. In fact, a large part of Nice's flamboyant flare comes from our passion for this patch of the South of France. But while this sophisticated city used to be strictly reserved for the English well-to-do, today there's a break to suit every bank balance. So whether you're hankering to hob-knob with the jet set or hunting out a bargain, holidays to Nice will have something to fit in your shopping basket.

Essentials for travel to Nice? Snazzy swimwear for when you're basking in the beautiful Med climate on one of Nice's numerous private and public beaches. Some designer sunnies for when you're strolling along the elegant Promenade des Anglais or drifting through the medieval maze of streets in Vieux Nice. And a little slinky number for those glittering nights on the town, hopping between posh restaurants and that legendary casino, the Palais de la Mediterranee.

Not to worry if you don't have these things to hand – Nice has got plenty of neat boutiques to pop into. Away from the shops and the shore, it's all about getting cultured in the Matisse Museum or the Modern Art gallery and sipping coffee al fresco in the grand Place Massena.
