The port district
The port district of Nice is a true symbol of maritime history, embodying the beguiling Mediterranean spirit. Located a short walk from the city centre, it offers a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity.
The bustling quays are lined with colourful fishing boats and luxurious yachts, creating a picturesque backdrop for strolling. The port’s fish markets offer an authentic experience, allowing visitors to discover the centuries-old traditions of Mediterranean fishing. In the evening, the port bursts into a different kind of life as, under the Arcades and along the quays, restaurants offer Mediterranean specialties and a friendly welcome.
Located between the port and the Place Garibaldi, in the heart of the “Marais Niçois”, is the charming and lively Place du Pin, where there’s plenty of trendy bars and restaurants to choose from.
