Unlike some other big European cities, Nice offers the whole world of opportunities for a visitor on a low budget. Here is our choice of inexpensive hotels – above the price level of hostels, but giving you more privacy and peace. As all budget hotels are often fully booked, especially during the summer, before Christmas and around the Nice Carnival, our advice would be to make your reservations much earlier before your trip.

It was from his third-floor window in the Vieille Ville (Old Town) that Matisse painted those cheerful little pictures of the blue sea, the palm trees and the houses with green shutters. He surely also painted the market that is still held in the Cours, 600 metres (650 yards) long, separated from the sea by the Ponchettes on one side and from the other part of town by the palace of the Sardinian kings, now housing the Prefecture, to the north. Don’t miss the famous flower market open all day, or the fruit & vegetables market which vanishes at noon. On Mondays there is a large flea market. Although bargains are unlikely there is bountiful variety of antique furniture, china, and linen.

There are several markets around the old town, selling food and fruit line the Rue de Marché and Rue de la Boucherie as you head into the old town. The fish market at Place St-François (Tue-Sun 06h00-12h00) provides an excellent photo opportunity if you’re not buying, with some outlandish sea fish on show alongside crabs, lobsters and langoustines. If you’re cooking for yourself it’s well worth shopping here for a meal or two.

Secondhand magazines, postcards, paintings and books, including some in English, are sold in the Place du Palais near to the Cours Saleya every Saturday (08h00-18h00). Three other great antiques markets are the Collector’s Exchange Market in Square Durandy (Sun 08h00-12h30), the Place Robilante flea market (Tue-Sat 10h00-18h00) and the antiques fair on Rues Gaultier, Foresta and Philibert (Tue-Sat 10h00-12h30, 15h00-18h00).

Cours Saleya Markets:

Flower Market open 6 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 6 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday, and 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sundays and holidays.
Fruit & Vegetable Market open 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day but Monday.
Antiques Market open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays (unless they are holidays or the eve of holidays).
Arts & Crafts Market, from June 1 to Sept. 30, every day from 6 p.m. to midnight.

Today’s scene on the Promenade des Anglais is very different from its 19th-century counterpart. When Henri Negresco’s palace first opened it’s door in 1913 they pointed north:150 years after Tobias Smollet introduced sea-bathing here, it still had not dawned on anyone that the future of tourism lay in hotels with resplendent fronts, not their backs, to the sea.

If you would like to see what Nice looks like now, go to the Nice Webcam which is located on the Promenade des Anglais.

Another favourite with the locals is the nearby Baroque Chapelle de l’Annonciation. A few blocks north-east, thorugh bustling streets of litlle shops, the Palais Lascaris is fascinating museum in a lavishly decorates 17th century home, a reminder that this was once the aristocratic quarter. Further up, rue Droite goes into rue St-François , busy with local food shops along with tourists trinkets and some curious ecological clothing. Place St-François is the city’s 17th century former town hall and the campanile from a former Franciscan monastery (entrance rue de la Tour).

But the heart of the vieille ville lies to the south, along Cours Saleya, where cut flowers perfume the air and the stalls plied high with lush fruit and vegetables, olives and candied fruit operate from dawn to lunch, Tuesday to Sunday; Niçois institution Chez Thérèse cheerfully touts her chickpea socca – the cheap but fulfilling snack that is Nice what the hotdog is to New York – from a stand every morning.

On Monday there are antiques, junk and second-hand clothes. All around, shoppers and onlookers crowd bars and eateries. There’s another fancy Baroque edifice on the cours itself, the Chapelle de la Miséricorde, but it is only open in visits organised by the Palais Lascaris. On neighbouring place du Palais de Justice there’s a book and print market on Saturdays. Towards the seafront, the Opera de Nice is grandly belle époque.

Rising up the eastern side of Vieux Nice is the Colline du Château, a grassy park with an impressive waterfall but not château: this was destroyed in the 18th century.If you don’t fancy the long slog up (steps climb from rue du Château or rue Ste Claire in the old town) to the magnificent view from the top, there is a lift (open 8am-6ampm daily) by the Tour Bellanda, home of the Musee Nval, on quai des Etats-Unis.

Continuing round the quai, or reached from place Garibaldi, you arrive to the attractive Vieux Port, which is lined with tall, colourful-washed houses, neo-classical chuch known as Notre-Dame-du-Port and plenty of simple cafe where you can snack on a pan-bagnat and watch the coming and going ferries to Corsica.

East of the Colline Château, the Parc Forestier le Mond Boron is an idyllic spot for a picnic, with winding paths through acres of aleppo pines and breathtaking views of the coast. Between the two hills, in an area still dotted with fanciful late 19th-century villas and documents the area’s earliest settlement.
