Planning a guys' trip in Nice
Promenade mornings, market lunches, beach light on the Côte d Azur. For a group, weigh a block of hotel rooms against one whole-home rental: the house is usually better value per person and keeps everyone together, while a hotel is simplest for a short stay. Expedia shows both for Nice.
Nice after dark
Vieux Nice's bars are packed and legally quiet early, since noise rules push the lanes around Rue Bosio and Place Rossetti to wind down not long after midnight. The port district and Rue Bonaparte hold the later, more local crowd, and the Promenade beach clubs run summer sets. Trams stop before the bars do, so plan the walk home.
What things cost in Nice
Transport is cheap here: 7 euros buys a day pass, 13 covers two days and 20 a full week. Musee Matisse is 10 euros and the four-day municipal museum pass 15. Socca costs a few euros a portion, a plat du jour in Vieux Nice 15 to 22, and a private beach sunbed on the Promenade starts around 20 for the day.
What's actually worth your time in Nice
The Promenade des Anglais runs seven kilometres and the beach below it is pebbles rather than sand, so bring shoes and a mat. Colline du Chateau has had no castle since Louis XIV blew it up in 1706, but the free lift from Rue des Ponchettes spares you the climb to the best view in the city. Cours Saleya's flower market packs up by early afternoon.
What to eat in Nice
Socca, a thin chickpea-flour pancake baked on a copper pan and served scorching in paper, is the thing to chase, at Chez Theresa off Rue Droite or Chez Pipo near the port. Add pissaladiere, pan bagnat and petits farcis. A purist salade nicoise contains no potatoes and no green beans. Fenocchio on Place Rossetti runs to around ninety ice cream flavours.
Nice with kids, realistically
Pebbles are hard on small feet but the water is calm and unusually clear, and Parc Phoenix near the airport combines a greenhouse, a lake and a small zoo cheaply. The Promenade's separated cycle and skate lane runs for kilometres uninterrupted. Tram line 2 runs underground beneath the centre and takes prams; the Cimiez hill buses are much tighter.

Common questions
What's the best stay for a guys' trip?
A whole-home rental with space to spread out — a games room, a pool, a big TV — keeps the group together and beats a row of hotel rooms on price per person. Choose a central location near the courses, stadium or bars you’re there for.
How much space do we need?
Budget two guests per bedroom plus enough bathrooms; a group of 6 fits a 3-bedroom home. Check the listing’s guest cap and bed setup.
How far ahead should we book?
Three months for big event or peak weekends — homes near stadiums and golf book early. Weeknights are easier and cheaper.
