What's included in Nice - Private Historic Walking Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Place Massena
Take a leisurely stroll at Massena Square, the main gathering venue of the city. Its characteristic checkerboard surface, along with the vibrant red facades and pastel-green window shutters of the surrounding neoclassical buildings, makes the site a real feast for the eyes. The highlight of all is the very often photographed Fountain of the Sun. It consists of sculptures symbolizing the planets: Earth, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn gathering around a huge statue of Apollo, the Sun God in the middle.
Promenade du Paillon
Drop in the adjoining Promenade du Paillon for pure relief in hot weather when you cool off your feet in the Mirror Of Water, a 3000m² shallow pool dotted with water jets that sometimes puff out a gentle cooling mist or shoot fountains of water high into the air.
Old Town
Next, stroll across the Old Town, which showcases a veritable colorful palette of cozy squares, vibrant markets, baroque churches, and a jumble of pastel houses. The stunning period architecture of the town offers a chance to get carried away by the past, while the restaurants, shops, and galleries of local artists along narrow, shadowy streets provide a lot of opportunities for buying gifts and window shopping.
