The hottest month in Nice is August, but with temperatures already reaching 30C, now is the perfect time to visit.
Nice is one of France’s most breathtaking coastal cities, known for its vibrant markets, a luxury promenade with yachts and stunning beaches.
And Ryanair flights from Dublin start at just €50 this July.
Situated on the French Riviera, this beautiful city is a gateway to the Côte d’Azur – attracting millions of visitors from around the world every year.
It is also located by the Mediterranean Sea, with miles of pebble beaches and stunning coastal views.
The city is home to some of the Riviera’s most iconic beaches, including the famous Promenade des Anglais and Castel Plage popular for sunbathing and swimming throughout the summer.
Coco Beach is another top spot among visitors, offering a more relaxed atmosphere and great spots for snorkelling off the rocks.
Another must-visit is the Old Port of Nice.
Known as Port Lympia, this is where rows of luxury yachts owned by the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos line the harbour along with colourful fishing boats.
Visitors can stroll along the marina to admire the yachts or book a sailing tour along the coast.
Water-based activities are hugely popular here in the summer months, such as paddle boarding, jet skiing and boat tours to hidden coves and nearby islands.
What’s more, tourists can take short boat trips to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, famous for its grand villas and secluded swimming spots, or explore the glamorous beaches of Villefranche-sur-Mer.
For those who prefer to stay on land, there’s plenty to enjoy – including art galleries, vibrant markets and walking tours of Nice’s old town.
Nice is also a fantastic destination for food lovers.
There are also renowned markets like Cours Saleya, where you can pick up fresh produce and flowers.
The area is steeped in history, with landmarks such as the Roman ruins at Cimiez and the baroque Cathédrale Sainte-Reparate in the heart of Vieux Nice.
And the hilltop Parc de la Colline du Château is the best spot for panoramic views over the city and coastline, and it’s the perfect spot for a summer picnic.
More popular among younger visitors is nearby Antibes – Nice’s neighbour known for its beach clubs and vibrant nightlife just 30 minutes away.
Here you’ll find rooftop bars, cocktail lounges and late-night venues with live DJs that stay open until the early hours.
Drinks in the city are reasonably priced too, with local rosé and French beer for under €4 – and many bars offer happy hour deals along the seafront.
Nice also hosts several festivals throughout the summer, including the famous Nice Jazz Festival in July, with world-class performances and open-air concerts.
