Nice city breaks
Stroll along the blissful promenade and take in the glittering blue horizon of the Mediterranean, edged by an enchanting Old Town of pastel-coloured townhouses and stylish architecture. Nice couldn’t be more of a masterpiece if it tried. It’s a fine example of what’s so fab about cities in the South of France, as it offers rich culture rolled together with a beautiful coastline. The often-dubbed French Riviera is a place to not only recline by the sea but to explore classic centres that have been the subject of books and films for decades. It’s glam but wholesome in all the right places.
Jet2CityBreaks to Monaco
Fancy exploring this coastal hotspot on the French Riviera? You can opt for a Jet2CityBreak to Monaco and unlock more than just Nice. Think everything from watching the well-heeled head to the regal casinos to dining out at Michelin-starred spots. Museums, beaches and the famous F1 circuit also await.
The niceties of Nice
Nice is the crown jewel of the Cote d’Azur or, as it’s often known, the South of France. With its beachfront setting and trappings of your typical city, it’s no wonder it’s an alluring pick. The clean, crisp pavements that back the soft-sanded beaches are decorated with exotic trees, which are elegantly lit at night.
Explore the side streets
Venture down the little streets of the Old Town to discover paths filled with colour, from the daily market to the quaint buildings. This, married with the dramatic ancient architecture, gives you a real sense of the local lifestyle – best appreciated at the Sainte Reparate Cathedral, of course.
Soak up the sunshine
The long bay of sun-kissed sand is an ideal spot for relaxing as you take a break from getting to know the local sights. Hire a parasol, grab a magazine and kick back in uninterrupted bliss. The Promenade des Anglais backs the beach, so you’re never far from refreshment either.

Sightseeing
A town oozing character completely gels with a chic promenade and magnificent castle. The huge hillside has a waterfall right by the brilliant building, while the Old Town is a web of historic sites. Cabanas and palm trees stir the senses as you step out of old-fashioned territory and right onto the beach.

Eating and drinking
The arcing Promenade des Anglais boasts authentic cafés and a stunning seaside. Try the city’s famous salad Niçoise of tuna, eggs and green beans, or socca, a chickpea pancake, in the rustic Old Town. Order a glass of wine and you’ve got the best picture of an evening out.
