Free Walking Tour through Nice

Discover Nice on an entertaining and engaging walking tour full of exciting stories, surprising details, and fascinating insights into the past of this special city.
We begin at the Castle Hill with an impressive panoramic view over the city, sea, and harbor. Here you will learn why Nice was founded at this location and how the former fortress shaped the city's history. 
Afterwards, we explore the winding alleys of the Old Town (Vieux Nice) with its lively squares. Historical maps and old photographs reveal how Nice has changed over the centuries. Finally, we walk along the Promenade des Anglais to the Place Masséna with its famous fountain.

During the tour, you will learn exciting facts about:
  • the origins of the ancient settlement Nikaia
  • the fortress of Nice and its destruction by Louis XIV
  • Catherine Ségurane and the siege of 1543
  • the Rue Droite, once the most important street in Nice

See you soon!

Mi chiamo Franziska e adoro esplorare i luoghi a piedi, prendendomi il mio tempo e notando i piccoli dettagli che spesso sfuggono all'occhio. Oltre alle attrazioni più famose, mi interessano soprattutto le storie che si celano dietro le storie: le tracce del passato, le piccole peculiarità e tutto ciò che conferisce a un luogo il suo carattere distintivo. Qui a Nizza, la città che ora chiamo casa, mi pongo proprio queste domande e mi piacerebbe esplorare questo luogo speciale insieme a voi.

Punto d'incontro:Imbiss Comptoir des AngesWe will meet at the snack bar "Comptoir des Anges" on the castle hill. From here, you already have a breathtaking view, perfect for the first photos. I will be on site about 15 minutes before the start of the tour to welcome you; you will recognize me by the lavender-colored folder in my hands. You can reach the meeting point either via one of the ascents or conveniently with the free elevator (Ascenseur du Château). In both cases, plan enough time – especially in summer, there can be waiting times at the elevator (but you wait in the shade). If you arrive a little earlier, you can treat yourself to a crêpe or a cool drink at the snack bar.Apri in Google Maps →
