The city in itself is considered an attraction, with its Roman ruins and chateaus, medieval heritage, Russian Cathedrals, vibrant turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, scrumptious dining and art-deco architecture in hues of pinks, greens, blues and yellows. Visit Old Nice, or Vieux Nice in French, a popular area of the city with both locals and tourists, offering more historic buildings and architecture, many home-made cuisine restaurants, lots of boutiques for shopping, as well as a daily market where you can buy fresh flowers, foods, souvenirs and more.
