While your ship is in Monaco, seize the opportunity to explore Nice, one of the French Riviera’s most charming cities. Meet your expert guide at Monaco port and hop into your air-conditioned minivan. Hear interesting facts about your destination and the French Riviera as you follow the scenic Middle Corniche. Carved into the cliffs above the Mediterranean, this famous road serves up dizzying views of the coast as you approach the city.
On arrival, leave your minivan and stroll past the Belle Epoque buildings that line the iconic Promenade des Anglais. Next, climb up Castle Hill to enjoy the magnificent views over gardens, waterfalls, and the rooftops of Nice.
Continue with your guide to the charming district of Cimiez, famous as a former winter home of Queen Victoria, that hosts the annual Nice Jazz Festival every summer. As you drive along the Promenade des Arts, see the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Sosno’s intriguing Square Head sculpture outside Nice library, the Acropolis Center, and the extraordinary onion domes and spires of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Afterward, immerse yourself in Nice’s history in the Place Garibaldi, the arcade-lined square edging the Old Town (Vieux Nice). Then, soak up the lively atmosphere of Cours Saleya, a famous Nice attraction that’s home to the famous flower market (morning tour only), as well as other bustling stalls, boutiques and cafés.
After your tour, relax on your way back to Monaco where your excursion ends with a drop-off at the port.
