Nice tours and excursions
Nice tours
The tourist office lists various walking itineraries on its website, removing the need for an organised guided tour, but those who want to see the city with a guide can book three-hour trips at the main tourist office. These tours focus mainly on the Old Town and can be led in French or English.
Excursions from Nice
Trundling old diesel trains ramble up the steep hillsides, delving into Nice's hinterland and onto the town of Digne-les-Bains. It’s a good day trip option, and a world away from the busy coast, especially in the height of summer when temperatures soar. Steam trains run every Sunday from early May to late October.
Less than an hour away by train is the moneyed principality of Monaco. A spin on the roulette wheel at the famous Casino Monte Carlo is a bank busting optional extra, while a cheaper choice is the waterfront public swimming pool, which becomes an ice-skating rink in winter.
