Journey With Ann is an independent travel guide featuring practical destination articles, local recommendations, and trip-planning information.
Nice has famous landmarks, historic streets, museums, markets, coastal walks, and so many good viewpoints that choosing what to see is harder than it first appears. This guide covers the places I would prioritize on a first visit, along with quieter corners and less obvious photo locations worth adding if you have more time.
Spain does not fit one universal itinerary. Madrid sits in the center and moves at a big-city pace, the north is cooler and rainier, Andalusia demands an allowance for summer heat, and the Canary Islands are best planned as a separate trip. For a first visit, choosing one region or two well-connected cities is more realistic.
Nice is easy to get around without a car. Tram Line 2 connects Nice Côte d'Azur Airport directly with the city center and Port Lympia, while many central sights are close enough to reach on foot. Trams cover longer journeys around the city, and trains are often the simplest option for day trips along the French Riviera.
