When is the best time to visit Nice?

It is pleasant to be out from April to June and from September to November: 18 to 28 °C by day and rain on at most 3 days in 10. The warmest month is July at about 29 °C; it rains most often in November.

What should you see in Nice?

Can you swim at Nice’s beaches?

Yes, many visitors swim in the light blue sea. The beach drops off quickly and the tidal pull can be strong, so it is not for beginners.

In the old town, lanes lead to the flower and fruit market on Cours Saleya and the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate. Walk along the Promenade des Anglais and up to Colline du Château; the Marc Chagall Museum and Musée Matisse are also worth a visit.
