The 15 Best Old Town Walking Tours in Nice

28 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $7

Vieux Nice is six streets deep and belonged to Savoy until 1860, which is why it smells of socca rather than of France. These 15 walks cover the Cours Saleya, the baroque churches and the climb to Castle Hill, priced and timed, with a note on which ones stop to eat.
