 The Best Western Riviera Hotel is within walking distance of the many cafes, bars, restaurants, shops and also the beautiful golden beaches of Nice beach. If you stroll through the Old Town, with its palaces, baroque churches, countless shops, world famous flower market and its tiny serpentine alleys you can follow them to end up in the splendid 'Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (MAMAC)'. You can then climb the Castle Hill to catch breathtaking views of Angle Bay.
Nice is the capital of the Riviera and is the fifth largest city in France, however there is an old town hiding many picturesque treasures and a bustling city centre, both of which lie parallel to the sea. Unassumingly tucked into the eastern part of town, the port exudes a charm all of its own, and the various hills – Cimiez northeast of Vieux-Nice and the centre, and Mont-Boron east of the harbour – make up green and tranquil districts endowed with stunning panoramas. Arenas in the west and Promenade du Paillon northeast of the old town are the main business and conference centres, the rest is primarily residential.
The Seaside is possibly the most famous part of Nice and for more than a century people have been flocking here to walk along the famous Promenade des Anglais. At the height of the summer months Nice is often teemed with locals and visitors many of whom enjoy jogging, others rollerblade, many just walk, but they all adore the breath taking views of the sea.
