<p> It might be a bit cliche, but Nice truly is nice! More than nice actually. Its rather stunning, a mix of <strong>modern European city meets historical charm.</strong> You can be in Sephora shopping for makeup one moment and eating pizza in front of a 500 year old church the next. It was truly taken by how romantic and historical the Old Town was. I felt as though I had been enveloped in another world. <br></p>

<p>The main highlight I found was the <strong>Castle Hill</strong>. Its a bit of a hike up to the top, however the views of Nice and the Mediterranean are absolutely stunning. You get a <strong>panoramic view</strong> of the entire area, and in classic French style, when I was there, a man was playing a mandolin to really set the mood. </p>

<p>This is also a beach town, with the <strong>charming cocktail bars</strong> lining the streets for thirsty beach goers. My personal favourite is <a href="https://facebook.com/WakaBarNice/"><strong>Waka Bar.</strong></a> Great views of the the beach, the strip and honestly the best Pina colada of my entire life! I loved spending the day on the warm beach (ok...warm, rocky beach...bring a thick blanket or beach chairs), and refreshing with a cocktail every few hours. </p>

<p>There is also a <strong>huge market area</strong> just behind the main beach front strip. It is   a permanent market, around 4 blocks long selling everything from fresh fruits and veggies to meats and pastries. Surrounding this area are streets lined with <strong>cafes, all with great outdoor terraces</strong> which allows you to feel like you are part of the action. There is a great little crepe cafe, which is affordable for breakfast, and provides large delicious crepes which can keep you full most of the day. </p>

<p>This city is rich in history and culture. Highly influenced by their close neighbours, Italy, you can see the mix of <strong>French meets Italian</strong> in the style of architecture and in the culinary scene. Great Italian food, lots of pizza and delicious Italian wines can be easily found here. I discovered this sparking red Italian variety called Lambrusco. If you've never had it, its a must try. Delicious!</p>
