\nMonaco<\/span><\/div>\n

It’s easy to get from Nice to other towns and cities in Provence and along the French Riviera. Train and bus connections are plentiful, and most places are readily accessible. Here are some of the best day trips from Nice:<\/p>\n

Antibes<\/a><\/strong>
\nJust a short train ride away, Antibes is a peaceful town with great beaches, shopping, and museums.<\/p>\n

St. Paul de Vence<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe hilltop town of St. Paul de Vence attracts art and history lovers alike. It is easy to get there by bus from Nice, and makes for a great day trip.<\/p>\n

Monaco and Monte Carlo<\/strong>
\nMonaco and Monte Carlo are another great day trip from Nice. The palace in Monaco is a must-see, and Monte Carlo’s over-the-top luxury is a stunning sight to behold.<\/p>\n

Eze<\/strong>
\nCloser and more accessible than St. Paul de Vence, Eze is another hilltop town that is famous for its art galleries and pretty streets.<\/p>\n

Cannes<\/strong>
\nFamous for its annual film festival, Cannes is a great place to visit at any time of year. The large beaches and lovely seaside promenade attract visitors from all over the Cote d’Azur.<\/p>\n

Grasse<\/strong>
\nFor perfume lovers, Grasse is the perfect place to visit. It is the home of the Fragonard perfume factory, and visitors can tour the museum and explore new scents.<\/p>\n

Aix-en-Provence<\/a><\/strong>
\nLess than two hours by car from Nice, Aix-en-Provence is one of the prettiest and most well-loved cities in the region. Don’t miss the markets, the fountains, or the great cafes.<\/p>\n

Marseille<\/strong>
\nWhile some people view Marseille as a gritty port city, it has its share of charm if you know where to look. The city features beautiful churches and cultural heritage, and some great seafood restaurants.<\/p>\n

Avignon<\/strong>
\nA bit further afield, Avignon can be done in a day, but also works well as an overnight trip. The city’s famous bridge, churches, and medieval streets make it one of the most popular places to visit in southern France.<\/p>\n

Saint Tropez<\/a><\/strong>
\nSaint Tropez is one of the most famous beach towns along the Cote d’Azur, and makes for a great day trip when the weather is warm.<\/p>\n

Whatever you choose for your day trip from Nice, make sure to dress for the season. If you are visiting in the summer, bring sunscreen and plenty of water, and if you are visiting in the winter, take an umbrella along in case of rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
