Nice is a vibrant city with many things to see and do. But if you have limited time and want to make the most of your trip - here are a list of suggestions from the team at Totally Riviera.

1. Drink Champagne at a beach-bar at sunset. We suggest the Castel Plage just opposite the Old Town

2. Buy a scrumptious gelato ice-cream at one of the most famous ice-cream parlour’s in the world. Fennocchio sells at least 100 different flavours - from your old favorites to tomato and Basil ice-cream and an unusually good Balsamic ice-cream. They are in the Place Rossetti in the Old Town.

3. Walk through the Old Town flower market on the Cours Saleya in the morning. You can buy flowers, fruit and vegetables,herbs and spices, bread, cakes and almost any other type of food. 6 mornings a week except for Monday when it turns into an antiques market.

4. Hike up to the waterfall by the Chateau and look down over the whole of Nice and Mediterranean all the way to Cap d’Antibes. You ‘ll find the steps at the top of the Rue des Ponchettes in the Old Town.

5. If your into the art of the masters - Visit the famous Musee Chagall and the Musee Matisse in the Cimez district of Nice. Bus 15 offers a free shuttle between the Chagall Museum and Matisse Museum in Nice.

6. Walk through the forest n the national park on Mt Boron. Mount Boron is within the city limits, to the east, and on the top is a series of lovely forest walks.

7. Ride the tram to the markets at Liberation. This area of Nice is completely French and the markets are not here for tourists, but for local housewives, who can be very demanding - so the food is well priced and excellent. Get out at tramstop Liberation and you’ll be surrounded by market stalls.

8. Walk through the cool narrow streets of the Old Town during the heat of the day and see the hundreds of small restaurants, bars and specialty shops. See the Palais Lascaris (free admission) and take note on the Rue Droite of the many artists painting and plying their trade.

9. Go for a swim - the waters are some of the cleanest in Europe.

10. Meet the staff from Totally Riviera and have a look at some properties.
