What to see by foot: Nice

From pedestrian-friendly winding streets in warm Italianate-ochre and pastel colours,
with a sprinkling of Genoese Baroque architecture, to the picture-postcard Promenade
des Anglais, Nice is a stunning setting for a relaxing stroll.
Nice has a fine collection of museums, and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary
Art is the city's pride and joy, specialising in French and American avant-garde
works. Glass walkways connect the four marble-coated towers, on top of which
is a must-see rooftop garden.
Others museums include the Musée Masséna, a 19th century mansion
filled with paintings and folk art, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, displaying
17th to 19th century works by Van Loo, Fragonard, Monet, Renoir and Bonnard.
There are many Baroque churches, including: the Saint-Martin-Saint-Augustin
(the oldest church in Nice) and the Cathédrale Sainte Réparate,
which is in the area's central square and has an 18th century steeple. The most
exotic is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, in a park setting with its six onion
domes and mix of grey marble, brightly coloured ceramic and red brick.
Originally created for English visitors for the purpose of strolling along
to take in the sea breeze, the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais is now most
notable for the opulence of the architecture that can be seen along the way.
The most lavish of these buildings is the Negresco Hotel, a typical Côte
D'Azur luxury hotel.
For shopping, head for the streets and alleys of Nice's historic core along
rue Masséna, place Magenta, avenue Jean-Médecin, rue de Verdun
and rue Paradis. The local antiques market is staged Tuesday through Saturday,
overflowing on the streets of Vieux Nice. The city has some of the most active
nightlife along the Riviera and many bars are located in the old town.
