What to Do in Nice in 24 Hours ? A Perfect Riviera Itinerary

If you only have one day in Nice, you can still experience the essence of the French Riviera by combining culture, scenery, and local lifestyle.

Start your morning in the charming streets of the Old Town, where colorful buildings, local markets, and small cafés create a vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. A walk along the famous Promenade des Anglais is also a must to enjoy the seaside views.

In the afternoon, escape the city and explore the surrounding landscapes. A short drive takes you to Villefranche-sur-Mer or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where you can enjoy crystal-clear waters and elegant coastal scenery. For a truly unforgettable experience, head towards Èze Village in the late afternoon. This hilltop village offers spectacular panoramic views and a unique glimpse into the history of the Riviera.

End your day with a sunset overlooking the sea — a perfect moment to appreciate the beauty and lifestyle of the Côte d’Azur.

Make the most of your day with a private Méhari tour and discover Nice from a different perspective.
