Nice - one of the most appropriately named cities in the world - is one of the jewels of the French Riviera. A short drive along the coast from Monte Carlo, Nice itself has plenty of attractions, including the Palais Nikaia, a multipurpose venue that hosts concerts by touring bands, and several miles of golden beaches.
In addition, it has the famous Promenade des Anglais - a street that stretches all along the seafront and is just a few moments - on foot or in a car - away from the exit to the Nice Cote d'Azur Airport. The city is an excellent, affordable choice for lovers of sun and sand - and there are plenty of options for places to stay if you know where to look. Read on to discover the top Airbnbs in Nice’s Promenade des Anglais, France.
1. A B&B with a balcony (from USD 67)
The description on Airbnb promises “nothing but luxury, quiet and a treat for the senses”, which is a bold boast. Then again, it’s located in Nice’s Golden Square, and the owner provides a continental breakfast, including croissants and freshly baked pastries, every morning. With Nice’s shopping district just three minutes away on foot, it’s a place you’ll find very much to your liking, in a city with many delights.
