  1. Castle Hill

Climb to the top of Castle Hill for incredible 360 degree views of the city. Soak up the stunning views from Bellanda Tower of the Promenade des Anglais and Vieux-Nice then head to the other side of the hill for jaw-dropping views of Nice Port.

We should mention that the best time to take photos is between late March and early April when the cherry blossom trees bloom and the temperature starts to rise.

The best time for breath-taking snaps is at dawn when the sun rises or at the end of the day as the sun sets.
