On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 4.Castle Hill (Colline du Château) — The green headland between the old town and the port, where the castle once stood — climb (or take the free lift) for the postcard view straight down the curve of the bay and its blue water. A waterfall, a park, and the best sunset in the city.
• 11.Le Port & the quays — The photogenic old harbour, tall painted houses reflected in the water and yachts at the quay — antique shops by day, and some of the best restaurants and late bars in Nice by night. The local's evening, away from the old-town crowds.
• 16.Èze village — A medieval eagle's-nest village stacked above the sea, with a cactus garden at the top and the whole coast below. The Riviera's prettiest half-day.
• 17.Monaco & Monte-Carlo — Twenty minutes along the coast: the belle-époque casino, superyachts, the palace and the Grand Prix corners. Gawp at the money, then leave.
• 19.Villefranche-sur-Mer — The perfect little bay one stop from Nice — ochre houses, clear water, and a beach that curves right up to the old town. The swim to beat all swims.
