A large perimeter

Explore this exceptional urban complex of 522 listed hectares. The scope includes:

• - The complete coastline, from the Promenade des Anglais to the foot of Mont Boron. All this via the Quai des Etats-Unis, the Quai Rauba Capeù and the Port of Nice.
• - The narrow streets of the old town, its authentic facades in the colours of the south and the Cours Saleya. An ideal place to sit on the terrace of a restaurant and stroll between the stalls of the famous Flower Market.
• - The heart of Nice with the pedestrian zone, the Carré d'Or and its luxury boutiques, the musicians' district, the Avenue Jean Médecin and the Promenade du Paillon, a real green lung in the city centre.
• - The Libération district, its fish market. Also visit the Gare du Sud, a place of life and celebration that nestles behind a sublime historic façade.
• - The listed perimeter also includes some exceptional gems. Among them, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, the hills of Cimiez, its arenas and its sublime gardens.

The site is surrounded by 4,243 hectares of "buffer zone". This protects its coherence and extends to the municipalities of Falicon, Saint André de la Roche, Aspremont and Tourrette-Levens.

To obtain the precious inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the city of Nice had to justify an "Outstanding Universal Value" by its international cultural influences, the architectural variety of its buildings but also its abundant and varied vegetation. Moreover, see for yourself and explore this magnificent array of cultural richness that invites you to escape and get away from it all. Immerse yourself in the scenery and admire the beauty of the buildings that stand all around you. See the snow-capped mountains in the background. In front of you, admire the azure blue of the sea as far as the eye can see. Colours that illuminate your holiday in Nice Côte d'Azur, whether you are staying for a day, for a week or forever.
