Nice Ferry Port Overview
The port of Nice, also known as Lympia port, is
situated in the heart of the city, close to the
historical part of the city and is just a few
minutes' walk from many of the city's main
tourist attractions. Nice is in the Cote d'Azur
region, on the Mediterranean Sea, which is one
of the most famous and beautiful resorts in
Europe.
Nice is the 5th largest city in France and one
of the most visited cities after Paris, mainly
by English, American, Scandinavian and Italian
tourists. Nice boasts stretches of white sandy
beaches and is close to the famous town of
Cannes.
2000 years ago, inhabitants from Marseille won
Nice from Italy and called it Nikaļa after Nike,
the Greek Goddess of Victory. Nice has always
been a contested territory; for a long period,
it was part of Italy and eventually in 1861; it
was annexed to the French Empire.
Nice offers a variety of activities and
amenities from lodging and dining, to shopping,
sunbathing and swimming. Cinemas, theatres,
opera and museums are all on your door step.
Alternatively you can simply stroll along the
Promenade des Anglais and enjoy the amazing
views.
Nice has many beautiful squares to visit,
including the Place Massena, which is one of the
most representative of Nice, or the spectacular
Tete au carré, the building of the Louis
Nucera's library. There are many important
museums in Nice, such as the Marc Chagall, the
Matisse, the Museum of Modern Arts and the
Massena. While in the region, you can also visit
the Pablo Picasso and the Antibes Museum. |
