Overview
Vieux Nice blends Italian and French culture in a tangle of narrow lanes lined with orange and yellow buildings. The flower and food market on Cours Saleya bursts to life every morning with fresh Mediterranean produce. Baroque churches and small galleries tuck into side streets, alongside charming cafes and independent shops. A climb up Castle Hill (Colline du Chateau) rewards you with a sweeping view over the whole city. Free to explore (Castle Hill elevator is free). 3-minute walk from Tram 1 Opéra-Vieille Ville stop.
Opening Hours
Always open (market Tue-Sun 06:00-13:30)
Travel Tips
The Cours Saleya market becomes an antiques flea market on Mondays. Try Nice's signature socca from a street stall while you're here.
