Promenade des Anglais

About

Stretching along the sparkling Bay of Angels, the Promenade des Anglais is the most iconic seafront boulevard in Nice. Built in the early 19th century with support from the English aristocracy who wintered on the Riviera, it soon became a symbol of leisure and elegance. Today, its palm‑lined walkway offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean, inviting visitors to stroll, cycle, or simply pause to admire the turquoise waters. The promenade is flanked by grand hotels, Belle Époque architecture, and beaches that capture the essence of Côte d’Azur living. It remains a stage for festivals, parades, and daily life, embodying both the glamour and the relaxed charm of Nice. Whether at sunrise or sunset, the Promenade des Anglais continues to enchant, standing as a timeless link between the city and the sea.

Iconic landmarks line its path, including the grand Hôtel Négresco with its pink dome, the Art Deco Palais de la Méditerranée, and Villa Masséna museum, while the blue chairs and palm trees offer prime spots for sea views. Nearby, Jardin Albert-Ier provides lush gardens and a gazebo overlooking the bay, with Place Masséna and the Old Town (Vieux Nice) just eastward, plus Parc Phoenix, the Museum of Asian Arts, and easy tram access to the city center.
