Vieux Nice
A car-free tangle of ochre lanes where the market, the aperitif and Niçois home cooking all happen within a few steps.
Le Port
A working harbour turned the city's most credible dinner address, where seafood tables line deep-red waterfront façades.
Libération
The everyday market quarter where Niçois shop and eat, anchored by the morning stalls and the Gare du Sud food hall.
Masséna / Carabacel
The city's central pivot of red arcades, tram and park, edging up into the quieter Belle Époque streets of Carabacel.
Petit Marais / Riquier
A plain residential quarter behind the port turned a low-key hub of independent bistros and natural-wine bars.
Carré d'Or
The compact luxury-shopping grid behind the Promenade, home to the fashion houses, jewellers and grandest hotels.
Cimiez
The city's refined hilltop quarter of Roman ruins, a monastery garden and the Matisse museum, made for a slow cultural morning.
Mont Boron
A wooded, villa-dotted headland east of the port, kept for its walking paths and the best sea panoramas in the city.
Promenade des Anglais
The city's seafront front porch — beach clubs, grand hotels and the long walkway best enjoyed at dawn or dusk.
Magnan / Fabron
Workaday residential districts west of the centre, valued for quieter beaches and unpretentious local eating.
