I really enjoyed the view from the top of Castle Hill. It was nice to walk up the hill (you can also take a free elevator near the promnade), and also great to walk around the park at the top of the hill. I recommend you go to Castle Hill during your Nice visit, but you can do this on... More

Young take the stairs, Old take the lift. This is a view not to be missed. Prepare for breathlessness. Both physical, and spectacular. And after that exertion - which you thought was going to be your pinnacle - consider the children's park. More

We did this on a bike tour which I would recommend highly! The view from the top is well worth the sweat and pain (if you have not ridden in a while). More

A true oasis in a big City plenty for children to do and lovely shady spots to sit and ponder also a nice little snack bar. The best thing to is that the lift up to the park is free!! More
