Overview
Stretching about 7 km along the Nice waterfront, the Promenade des Anglais is one of the world's most celebrated seaside walks. It was laid out in the 19th century when British aristocrats wintered here, which is how it got the name 'Walk of the English'. Palm trees frame views of the cobalt-blue Mediterranean, and it's perfect for strolls, runs, or cycling. The signature experience is settling into one of Nice's famous blue chairs to watch the sunset over the sea. Free to visit. 5-minute walk from Tram Line 1 Masséna stop.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (beach facilities vary by season)
Travel Tips
Visit at sunset to watch the sun drop into the Mediterranean. Beaches get very crowded in summer, so an early morning walk is ideal.
