Castle Hill of Nice, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

4.5 (9.785 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur Lookouts

What a view !

Soak up the breathtaking views from the top of the hill where the Castle of Nice once stood. Castle Hill, which towers over Nice’s historic core, is the most popular park in town. Hike (or bike) uphill through a set of winding trails or ride the elevator to the top for free. The park is worth visiting any time of the day—you can see the sunrise over the harbor (perfect time for beating the crowds) or watch the sunset over the Promenade des Anglais. A cannon shot goes off at noon every day. – Tripadvisor

    Cannot go to Nice without making the climb to the top!
    FYI there is not actually a castle on this hill, but it is worth visiting nonetheless! At the base of the hill (by the #ILoveNice selfie sign) TAKE THE STAIRS (as opposed to the elevator) all the way to the top of the hill and be captivated by the breathtaking city and Mediterranean views along the way. Take a stroll through the park and make your way to the lookout offering a beautiful panoramic view of Port Lympia. On the way down the other side, cool off under the hidden waterfall...if you can find it! Excitedly, Clayton Cohn

    views are worth the climb
    It’s not a terrible walk up, but some sections of stairs are steep. You will be rewarded with amazing views of the beach on one side and the harbor on the other. Well worth the walk. Start your day there, knock it out, then enjoy eating lots of food knowing you earned it.
