Be there for the sunset and you will have the perfect view of the Baie des Anges (Angel's Gulf) and of the Nice and Old Nice. Acces is great by foot through the Old Nice or via the elevator (closing at 18.30) for 1.20 EUR existing near hotel Suisse. Cascade is great, panorama is great, even the playgrounds are great.... more

The Castle Hill is a really lovely spot. There is more than one way to get up there, including the lift which is the promenade end of the hill. We always make a point of visiting it at least once every time we go to Nice, which is as often as we can! Even in January, if the sun is... more

This is my favorite spot in Nice! I must have spent hours here lounging in the beautiful Mediterranean sun and just feeling like the luckiest person on earth for being in that particular spot on the universe. The views of the turquoise sea are breathtaking and the scene, the trees, the air, the sun, the clouds, the scents, the waterfalls,... more

Great view of the beach and the City of Nice specially during sunset. The waterfall however gets turned off at the end of the day so if you want to see it, be there before 5 PM. more

It's a birds-eye view of the gorgeous coast on one side and the port on the other. A lovely walk up the hill and very nice once you get there as well. You might want to use the bathroom before you go up though as when I was there they said they only had one and it was out of... more

Apparently, other reviewers found an elevator but I don't believe I entered from that direction so made the trek on foot. Needless to say, it is quite the hike up there. But you really get an overview of the entire city. Though it may be a little odd, the cemetary in the back is really quite beautiful and peaceful, with... more

This is a truly wonderful place to visit, once you have bought items for your picnic in the Cours Saleya below. We usually grab a socca pancake and some fruit then take the lift up to the viewing points. Photo opportunities are endless from this vantage point!! After wandering around looking at the waterfall , park and ruins we like... more

Apparently there's a lift to the top of the hill but it only operates in the high season, not in late October when we were there (the much vaunted waterfall was turned off too). Nevertheless, the walk up the hill, winding your way up the steps from the old town, is well worth the climb; even for an out of... more

A must do while in Nice and so easy thanks to an elevator (cost 1.10 euros, as of August 2007) Views over the bay and the vieux nice are fantastic, lovely waterfall at the top... what you waiting for? - get up there!! more
