Insider tips for Nice


Trying to make life easier for you, at least for the duration of your holiday in Nice, we'll try to bring you as many little hints or help from the locals as we can. Inside information from people who live there, love to go there and are frequent visitors.


Fantastic beach, NiceNice Insider tip 1
Get reef walkers. Surviving the pebbles on Nice beach is a fine art, but possible. Bring shoes that you can wear into the water. Reef walkers or jelly shoes will help you maintain at least an illusion of cool.



Beach experts in NiceNice Insider tip 2
Equip yourself. If you are not going to a beach club, pack your own sunbed or a mat. The stones are hard and even the thinest of mats will dramatically improve your comfort and your day.



Sun shade on Nice beachNice Insider tip 3
The stones also contribute to the temperature by soaking up and radiating the heat back at you. A parasol will help at least deal with the heat of the sun and give you a fighting chance against sun stroke and sunburn.



Luxurious beach clubs, NiceInsider Tip 4
Money savers. Things that will hit the budget hard are: soft drinks, brand name ice creams, spirits, beer and restaurants. Go to the local supermarket and stock up. Keep your holiday rental apartment or villa stocked with boxes of ice creams and ice pops and litre bottles of soft drinks



Fresh fruit and veg are available to take to your holiday accomodationNice Insider tip 4
When you are out and about stick to dilutable 'sirops' for the children and the ice cream parlours that sell real ice creams, it's better value for money. Buy local food in the markets to eat in your holiday let and then go out for coffee, digestif's and dessert



Hot in the city, NiceNice Insider tip 5
Beat the heat. Pack picnics, load up on juicy fruits to combat dehydration and freeze bottles of water to take to the beach with you. They'll keep the rest of your picnic cool and defrost slowly for cool drinking water.



Shady spots on the Coeur de Saleya, NiceNice Insider tip 6
Stick to water, wine, coffee and pastis, it's what the locals drink and therefore are kept at more reasonable prices. Take small frequent hits of the strong espresso coffee's rather than the more expensive cafe au lait or Grand Creme's. Order pichets of the local or house wine instead of wine by the glass, it's better value.



Bustling streets, NiceNice Insider tip 7
Handbag snatchers and muggers like to holiday too and there are rich pickings in any city holiday destination. Don't leave belongings on view in hire cars. Drive with your doors locked and your bag tucked away from scooter mounted opportunists. Don't wander around dark streets, drunk and on your own in the middle of the night and keep your 'street smarts', that you use in your own city, on alert.



Fishing boats in VillefrancheNice Insider tip 8
Don't forget to explore other areas. The train is easily accessible and runs along the coast. The beaches in Antibes, Juan les Pin and Cannes, to the West of Nice are beautiful and sandy. Villefranche and Monaco, to the East, may not be sandy but the sea is lovely and they are wonderful family-orientated, well-maintained beaches.

"A fun and irreverent Australian restaurant is now available in Nice Port opposite the Ferry traffic entrance on the East side of the port.

It's called Kookaburra, it's managed by Aussie Nick and serves super Oz food at very good prices.

"One of the first things you should do when you arrive in Nice is to find a copy of the English magazine 'That's Nice'. Once you have that in hand you will have all the up to date information on the coolest eating venues and the best live music venues - something that Nice is becoming famous for.

'That's Nice' magazine is really full of information and an absolute must have.
