A Self-Guided Tour Of Nice The UNESCO Heritage City
On this self-guided audio tour, you'll discover how the medieval town of Nice blossomed into a glamorous winter resort city.
Why did UNESCO name Nice a World Heritage Site? Every inch of Nice, from its seaside boulevards to its shady streets lined with magnificent buildings, was designed to be the world’s most dazzling winter escape. On this walking tour, you’ll hear how, from the mid-1800s onwards, every decision to urbanize medieval Nice aimed to increase the comfort and enjoyment of its holiday-makers.
Join Jeanne Oliver, author of Nice Uncovered: Walks Through the Secret Heart of a Historic City, on this self-paced walk from the edges of Old Town, along the Promenade, and through the prestigious Carre d’Or neighborhood, as the story of 19th—to 20th-century Nice comes alive!
You’ll have a chance to discover the earliest seaside strolls that inspired the Promenade and walk in the footsteps of the first vacationing Brits who built the Promenade des Anglais.
