When to Visit Nice
Nice has beautiful weather all year round, so don’t worry about sunshine. It does get a little cold between January and March at around 10°C.
However, in the summer, between May and August, Nice is incredibly crowded. Plan your visit in April or September for great weather and fewer tourists.
Where to Stay in Nice
For a relaxing stay, choose a hotel near the beach. We recommend Hotel Albert 1er Nice or Hotel de la Fontaine.
To see the sights, pick a stay in the city’s northern quarter. We recommend Villa Otero or Hotel L’Oasis.
