Program details

See all there is to see in the beautiful city of Nice from aboard an open-top double-decker deck bus. This hop on-hop off bus tour is the very best way of exploring a city, and not only for tourists; even those who have been residing in Nice for a long time could jump onto the bus and discover new corners they never would have thought existed. Behold the ample Garibaldi Square and the stunning Acropolis, or even the ancient beautiful gardens of the Cimiez Monastery and the marvellous Chagall Museum. So climb aboard, relax and enjoy the views from this privileged vantage point.

The benefits of touring a city in a hop-on-hop-off bus are countless. On the one hand, you learn all the myths and stories behind every famous building or landmark. The original narration can be heard in a choice of languages on your personal headset. On the other hand, with a hop-on-hop-off you can get off the bus at any site interesting to you and explore it further on foot. Whenever you feel you are ready to continue, just wait at the nearest bus stop and very soon another hop-on-hop-off will stop by for you to jump back on again.

The ticket is valid for two different tour routes for one or two consecutive days. Some interesting stations include the Port, the Quai des Etats Unis, the Blue Rivage and even iconic buildings such as the grandiose Saint Nicholas Cathedral. With 17 stops to hop on or off, you will develop a city savvy in no time.
