A day in Nice – or really anywhere in the French Riviera – will make anyone feel like a royal (which  is probably why all the European monarchs used to vacation here). The Promenade des Anglais is the city’s claim to fame, but it’s the crystal blue water of the Mediterranean coastline that is the real jaw-dropper. Head a little inland to find the heart of Nice in the old town and its central square, Place Rossetti, where you’ll find plenty of sources of amusement, including bars, restaurants, boutiques, and nightclubs. Head even further inland for a lovely walk around Castle Hill, where the city’s citadel once stood and where the best views of the city are to be had.

In short, Nissa la Bella has it all: sun, style, and the sea!
