Walking in Nice
Nice is the Riviera's capital and one of France's most visited cities. Everything a walker wants is lined up along the Baie des Anges: the long Promenade des Anglais, the ochre lanes of the old town and a castle hill with a view of all of it.
Terrain. The seafront and the old town are flat. Castle Hill is about 90 metres high; the stairways are steep but short, and a free public lift avoids most of the climb. The districts north of the centre rise steadily towards the hills.
Surfaces. Smooth on the promenade, worn flagstones and some cobbles in the old town. The beach itself is pebble, not sand; walking on it is hard work.
