Castle Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A must see when visiting Nice, however a word of warning, it's not always turned on, presumably for cleaning.

We visited during the hottest part of the day, so allowing the spray from the waterfall to hit us was incredibly refreshing. The views from the top are spectacular too, we must have spent an hour and a half just admiring the views out over Nice.

November 15, 2023,Nice J2, la Colline du Château 🌤🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️💐⛰️

On foot or with the elevator, a visit to the Colline du Château is worth the detour. In addition to the panoramic view of the Bay of Angels, the city of NICE, the port and the Promenade des Anglais, there are areas where children can ride on different rides in the garden. This park extends over 19 hectares at the …

Today we wanted to see Nice from above. The Parc de la Colline du Château is ideal for this.
The park is a beautiful place to look out over Nice's promenade and the old town. You can go up on foot or by elevator (nostalgic and free). If you take the stairs, you'll have a variety of different views of …

February 20, 2024,Nizza, Stadtrundgang

We spend our last day of vacation in Nice.
We even discovered a few carnival characters after we unfortunately couldn't see the carnival.
We walk through the old town, look at the flower market and walk up the Schlossberg. At the end we return to the “Engländer-Promenade”.
I found the blue armchairs on the beach promenade particularly funny; winter tourists …

Then we first walked through the shopping street and Dirk let himself be tempted 🥰 by buying an extra pair of swimming trunks 🩳 …

Tourist route through Nice, following the directions of the tourist guide and which I consider to be a very good route, since you can see all the important points of the old part of the city (market, town hall, older churches...) and then go up the stairs to the viewing point, an easy and very pretty climb surrounded by shaded …
