• Vieux Nice and Cours Saleya market — Baroque lanes, pastel buildings, the cathedral, and the morning flower and produce market at the old town's heart.
• Colline du Château — The castle hill park above the old town and the port, with gardens, a waterfall and the city's classic panorama.
• Musée Matisse (Cimiez) — Matisse's paintings, sculptures and cut-outs in a villa among olive groves on Cimiez hill, beside Roman ruins.
