Frequently asked questions about day trips from Nice
What are some top destinations for a day trip from Nice?
Beyond the famous spots like Cannes, consider visiting the Italian Riviera for its stunning coastline, and Gorges du Verdon for breathtaking canyon views.
What are some lesser-known but worthwhile day trip destinations from Nice?
Saint Paul de Vence is famous for its art galleries and medieval architecture.
Can I explore both the French and Italian Rivieras in one day?
It’s possible, but it might be rushed. For a feasible day trip, focus on key towns like Menton on the French side and Ventimiglia on the Italian side.
What natural wonders are near Nice for a day trip?
The Gorges du Verdon and the Lake of Sainte Croix offer stunning natural beauty and activities like hiking, kayaking, and swimming in crystal-clear waters.
What should I pack for a day trip exploring these areas?
Since trips nowadays involve a lot of walking, wear comfortable shoes and sun protection—hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses. With many destinations having a beach or waterfall, carry a swimsuit in case you want to take a dip. Lastly, carry cash if you want to pick up small souvenirs from the villages or grab a quick bite at a cafe.
Are there any tips for making the most out of these day trips?
- Research and select day trips that align with your interests and budget. Most of the trips cover 2-3 villages/cities and allow you to see and experience different attractions and activities.
- Make your reservations (tours and stay) in advance (a month before your travel), especially during peak tourist season.
- Although Nice is well connected with the rest of Southern France, opt for a guided tour to make your travel experience pleasant (in an air-conditioned mini-van) and knowledgeable with a multilingual driver/guide.
- Pack essentials like water bottles and snacks (dry fruits and chocolates) because day trips equal a lot of walking and constant sun exposure.
