Nice – a resort that guarantees your perfect holidays
France is a place where any citizen of the world can fit in. Nice is one of the most unparalleled cities, offering lazy afternoons in the sun, crazy entertainment action, and an opportunity to better understand the country itself. This resort is visited by many celebrities that can be most definitely found somewhere among many narrow city streets filled with French, Italian, and English people.
How to travel?

It is planned to build a tram line to the airport in 2016 as well. You can use buses during the entirety of your visit. The routes are far-reaching, so there is no danger in getting lost while visiting famous places of the city.
What to taste?
Nice is like a puzzle made up from pieces of different cultures. This impression follows you to the local kitchens as well. If you wish to try out the popular French menu, why not order some bagels, baguettes, or French sandwiches. Anyone who has a sweet tooth will love soft éclairs. You will be also intensely impressed if you taste some of the famous onion soup, or some beef cake with olives.
What to see?
Cultural clash is noticeable right away, walking down the street. City seaside has a several kilometres long promenade that was built by Englishmen. Taking a walk here, you will find a lot of return-gift-material items for your loved ones, or yourself. Russian aristocrats have left their present for the city as well, in the form of St. Michaels’ Church. Go deeper into Nice, and you can see some Italian Baroque palaces and churches. The mixed cultures feeling gets even stronger after learning, that the United Kingdom Queen Victoria, German F. Nietzsche, Spaniard P. Picasso, and Italian D. Rossini all liked visiting Nice as well. The resort is hugely loved by Elton John and Bono, too.
If the art of painting interests you, you should pay a visit to H. Matisse Modern Art Museum, or other, more modern, museums. M. Chagall National Museum will offer a unique collection of religious paintings. Archaeology and History Museums are worth your attention too.
