Free Things to do in Nice

7th August 2017
Free Things to do in Nice

Being the frugal travellers that my partner and I are I wanted to make a little list of all of the free (or almost free) things we did on our recent trip to the South of France.

First off, Nice is VERY walkable. We took the tram once, but only because it was so incredibly hot and we’d been walking all day. So you don’t need to buy public transport tickets unless you really don’t like walking (better for you and the environment if you walk anyway!).

 

 

PROMENADE DU PAILLON
From what I could see online, this was completed a couple of years ago (2013) so it’s still quite “new”. It’s a lovely green sequence of parks are museums through the heart of Nice broken up into a few different “themed” sections. For instance, one block is all kids’ playgrounds in an ocean theme – super cute wooden climbing structures etc. Then there is the fun dancing water section. Even if you don’t want to get wet yourself, its a great place to cool down (even the air is cooler due to the water) and people watch. Or just find a nice shady tree, and BYO picnic. Perfect.

 

 

BEACH
You can of course rent the fancy sun lounges with an umbrella, but we didn’t. We just took our towel down (we only had one since we were travelling light haha) and found a spot among the rocks. Yep rocks, beaches all along here are stones, no sand. I actually really love it here; no gross seaweed to fight with, and the bottom drops off really sharply so you can only be 5m away from the shore but nowhere near the bottom. So nice when you just want to paddle around!

 

 

STREETS AND ALLEYWAYS
I highly recommend just wandering around and stumbling across hidden gems. There are so many little alleyways only large enough for pedestrians crammed with restaurants and shops. We really liked wandering around at night when the air was a bit cooler and all the lights were on. I found this really cute organic store which stocked all organic and locally sourced (as much as possible) teas, essential oils, and other deliciously scented things!

 

 

CASTLE HILL
At least I think it’s called Castle Hill, it’s the one that splits the main part of the city from the marina. It’s totally free to walk up and there is a stunning view over the city at the top! We were running out of time so we didn’t walk all the way around it, but you can also get a great view of the Marina if you walk around to the other side.

 

 

MONACO
Ok so not technically free, the train ticket out there is pretty cheap (€3.90 one way) and then you can walk around and see everything for free once you’re there. If you’re travelling with anyone that knows even the slightest thing about car racing, they’ll love it. You can walk around all the popular pieces of the Monaco Grand Prix track. I would also recommend walking up the hill which has a lookout at the top which I think is called Porte Neuve. You will most likely see people walking up what looks like a ridiculously steep hill so just follow them; there’s a great view at the top and it’s actually not that bad of a walk. I thought it would be WAY worse.

 

 

 

Have you been to Nice?…

 

 

Love,

This is giving me SUCH wanderlust! I was in Nice for a week this summer and I absolutely adore the colorful alleyways and intense blue of the sea. Thank you for sharing this and allowing me to mentally revisit it! xx

Hi! I'm Rachael - an Aussie living in Germany who's a little bit obsessed with green beauty, taking photos, and trying to lessen her impact on the world.

  • #traveltip - shampoo and conditioner bars no more bottles leaking in your bag and doesn’t take up precious liquid allowance when you only have hand luggage! I purchased this @naturalwisdomspa Shampoo bar from @genuineselection and chopped it up into a couple of smaller pieces, I feel like the product lasted longer as well somehow! As you can see, still just as bubbly as liquid shampoo (if that’s what you want) so you don’t need to compromise while on holiday ☺️ #solidshampoo #shampoobar #plasticfree
  • Take me back to the beach ☀️ My husband and I really enjoyed our time at @knossosbeach - fabulous beach, amazing service, great food, relaxing atmosphere - we couldn’t ask for anything more! I was very happy to discover that the hotel had taken upon itself to work towards and be awarded two voluntary sustainable certifications: the Blue Flag and Green Key. @blueflag_global is awarded for their beautiful beach. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Look for beaches with this flag for clean,
  • Some sad but also happy news - @heartofgold.alchemy has decided to officially close. I have found some fabulous products amongst her creations (to be honest, there wasn’t a product that I didn’t love and find effective) so I am sad to see this brand fade into history, however I am just as excited to see the journey that Ally takes us on next. I truly believe there is no point in working somewhere you have fallen out of love with - you really only live once. Follow what your heart tells you. When you are happy where you are, you’ll
  • Not beauty related but wanted to get back on insta and couldn’t resist posting this delicious oat chai latte and vegan blueberry pancakes I enjoyed today at @sunnysideup.ffm - not sponsored, not gifted, just wanted brunch today and found these guys! Can only recommend! ☕️ #veganpancakes #ffm
  • #texturetuesday well travelled and it was not a warm day when I filmed this, but she melts on contact. NADI is a beautiful, herbal balsam which is packed with incredible ingredients that all work in harmony to target a wide range of skin concerns. It’s like wrapping your face in a wonderful herbal hug. @fifty7kind’s website is absolutely bursting with product and ingredient info, so I really recommend taking a minute or two to check it out. I do @fifty7kind’s products absolutely no justice by just copying and pasting the magic of NADIs story. AD/GIFTED by @theboxwalla #skincare #fifty7kind

  • 2020 was pretty sh1t in a lot of ways, but in other ways it was pretty awesome I got to marry the love of my life - my best friend, we moved cities together (again), I started a new job with new colleagues and made new friends, I learned to work in new ways and in new environments. But I also didn’t get to see my family, celebrated without them, lost a good friend, and had to watch other struggle from afar with only my distant support. I can only hope for a smoother road through 2021 for all of
  • ✨ ✨ [ad•gifted] @theboxwalla October Beauty Box @naturallogic - I called this delicious alien jelly in my stories a while back and I still can think of a better description I don’t think I’ve ever had a product like it, it’s thick but runny, a bit slimy but not in an “ew” way, you can’t just dollop it on your face and then smooth it around when you feel like it - it will run down your cheeks and drip all over your bathrobe. It’s full of fabulous ingredients such as aloe, niacinamide, burdock root, and activated charcoal that cleanse,
  • I filmed this the other day but am finally uploading it I’ve used this @lovinahskincare oil cleanser a few times since and am falling deeper and deeper in love. The scent is so amazing I just want to drink a whole glass of it (sorry, but it’s not tasty, so I don’t recommend it lol). I haven’t tried it to remove makeup yet since I don’t leave the house too much due to fun times, but will update you once I do! The scent is so fabulous while you’re cleaning your face but doesn’t leave any lasting fragrance once you
