The Nice City Guides answer what visitors really want to know: where to find proper socca and stuffed sardines away from the tourist menus, which museums to plan around, how to reach Èze, Monaco and Menton by train or bus and where the Old Town drinks after dark. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, with the reason to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, ready in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Chez Acchiardo
Old Town, 38 Rue Droite
A family-run dining room serving since 1927, with wooden tables, paper tablecloths and big helpings of daube, gnocchi and stuffed vegetables. It is well known now, so book ahead for the busiest hours. From the food guide.
Colline du Château
Old town, east end
The hill above the old town gives the finest free view over the Baie des Anges, with a waterfall, a playground and the ruins of the old castle. Climb the stairs in about 15 minutes or ride the lift. From the things to do guide.
Èze Village
Bus 82 from Nice, about 30 minutes
A medieval village perched on a rock high above the sea, all stone lanes and craft workshops, with the widest coast view east of Nice. Arrive before 10 am, because the alleys fill up fast. From the day trips guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Nice scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. The guides continue where the game stops: socca from a wood oven, the climb up the Colline du Château, a train along the coast to Villefranche or Menton, or a wine bar once the sun goes down.
