Nice is considered to be one of the most "Russian" French cities, because these seats for several centuries were a favorite holiday destination for Russian aristocracy and bohemia, and later - and ordinary tourists. So it is not surprising that it is fairly easy to find an inexpensive excursion in Russian. After all, it is known in other European cities with this there may be some problems, because travel agencies offer mainly tours in English and national languages, plus the maximum of Italian, German and Spanish, and to learn something in Russian, you need to order an excursion from a private guide What is much more expensive, or enjoy audio guides). Nice In this regard, a real paradise for inquisitive travelers than not to use.
Of course, the first thing that comes to mind when we are talking about excursion programs, it is "City tour" Supporting usually a walk along the old Nice, acquaintance with the area of Massena, it is possible - the rise on the castle mountain, and of course - a unhurried promenade in the English embankment, on which the most famous buildings of the city are located.
But Nice is not all that can please you from the Cote d'Azur. Having stopped in this wonderful city, you should not limit yourself to the black on the beach or tasting local cuisine. Be sure to pass around the surroundings. After all, there are so many interesting places nearby!
So, at all next to Nice, festivals are located Cannes During the excursion to which you can see the venue of the famous Film Festival and learn a lot of their truly rich history.
In addition, Nice is neighboring another interesting city and a very popular resort called Antibes . But besides the fact that it is really a real Mecca for the Plestifying beach recreation, it is an old city with exciting past and impressive architectural monuments.
Well, completes the list of the closest and most "star" neighbors of Nice Town Saint-Paul de Vans , which is a true treasury of Provence, associated with the names of many outstanding artists and artists.
As it is especially noteworthy in this direction is that all of the above cities are so close to Nice and from each other that there are even special day excursions, including familiarity with them with everyone. Typically, the route is called "Cannes-Antibe-Saint-Paul-de-Vans" (although it can, of course, get a more romantic name) and is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations, especially in the summer.
Among the more remote, but very popular among travelers of the cities of the southern coast, is a well-known on the old French films. Colorful town Saint-Tropez . This is not only a well-known resort, but also a very picturesque old town, which attracts many Europeans with its special, very friendly atmosphere. In addition, during an excursion in the Saint-Tropez, usually travel along the so-called golden eaves along the sea, and also drive to the port of Grima (Provencal Venice), Frezhus (city of Julia Caesar) or Sant Rafael. It is also often a time to visit the winery with a tasting of local wine or bathing in the sea. Based on his own experience, I will say that the route is very picturesque and really interesting. The only thing that someone can regret is about a lack of free time when traveling with an organized group. Although if you have a car, you can easily drive in this direction and independently, enjoying you by beauty.
In addition, I will note the excursion to a unique Marseilles , which is not only the ancient French city of France with a real bunch of attractions, but also the most French city.
And although about Marseille there are a lot of prejudices, my opinion is definitely necessary to visit it (observing, of course, elementary safety rules). When you see his incredible landscapes, an old architecture and try local cuisine, the fears will disappear by themselves and gratitude to yourself for themselves for what you still saw it. And if you still ride along the road on which the Daniel chased in his white Taxi from the French film of the same name, then there will be no limit to the delight ... In general, a very bright and memorable excursion to one of the brightest and unusual French cities.
On the other hand, the amazing dwarf state is adjacent to Nice - Principality Monaco - On the territory of which focused the most elite real estate and the most expensive entertainment and casinos in the world. But among other things, it is also the oldest state in Europe, the princeless dynasty of which leads its own countdown from the 13th century. During the excursion to Monaco, you can visit not only at the Palace of Grimaldi or admire the panoramic view, opening from the sightseeing site to the city sheltered on the rocks, but also to look into the oceanographic museum, the director of which has long been a legend man - Jacques IF Coust, stroll through the gardens Saint Martin or the garden of exotic plants, look at the oldest casino in Europe and, of course, to walk along the very legendary turn of the road from the "Grand Prix of Monaco" Formula 1.
Another popular excursion route organized from Nice is a trip to "Italian Riviera" which includes not only acquaintance with the romantic city of San Remo with his luxury Avenue, a soft sea and a beautiful kitchen, but also a brief inspection of such cities like Ventliament, Menton and Monte Carlo.
If you taste sea travel and walks on yachts or heat shifts, you can go on an excursion to Corsica - One of the most mysterious and picturesque islands of the Mediterranean Sea.
Despite the fact that administratively Corsica refers to the territory of France, it developed under the influence of Italian culture and traditions for a long time, so you can feel the amazing charm of this little piece of "Italian France". What attracts numerous tourists in it? Of course, fascinating nature with magnificent coves, clean beaches and insanely delicious food.
Well, finally, I will note the excursion to one of the Italian city closest to Nice - Pisa , famous thanks to his tilted tower. But this is not all that you can look there.
Pisa is both the "Square of Miracles", and the Grand Cathedral with a rich collection of works of arts of different eras, and the Baptistery, and a variety of museums. It fascinates, perhaps, everything: from history and architecture to magic aromas from the nearest cafe or pastry shop. If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of this Italy, this excursion is for you.
As for the prices for excursion service in Nice, they are relatively inexpensive. Thus, a sightseeing tour of the city will cost from 20 euros, at a nearby cities of type Cannes or Monaco - in the area 50. Well, of course, for more prolonged programs will have to devastate your wallet for a slightly large amount - from 50 to 100 euros per person .
