A great way to start the day is to head up early in the morning so you can beat the tourist buses and crowds. The views from the top are the best you will get of the beautiful city and its surrounds. It is any easy walk for all ages and fitness types. Studding views and a must.

I don't think you can really appreciate the topography and beautiful colours of the shoreline until you get up high. I got some beautiful photographs from the many viewing platforms on the hill. It looks like a lot of steps, but it isn't! You soon reach an area of gentle slopes that you could take if you wanted to. At... More

It's a very nice walk up the hill and you get a perfect view of Nice and the beach when you reach the top. When up in the park, you can also see the harbour in the other direction. A must in Nice!

The best time to go there is in the morning when there's not much tourist. Not many people know that there's an escalator on the left entrance which can help us access easily. There's also the beautiful waterfalls. Best place for photography.

We took the Little Train up, so we only got 10 minutes up there to enjoy the views, but because it was cold and rainy, we decided... More

We decided to visit castle hill on our first morning in Nice while we still had plenty energy for hills and steps! It was a pleasantly warm and sunny morning, and the area was fairly quiet for a bank holiday. It was a lovely walk up the hill, not too steep, and lots of places to stop for a rest... More

I have been up castle hill before when in Nice. It is well worth a visit. The view is spectatular all the way down the coast. At the top there is a small park and a cafe where you can replenish, with beer, coffees and soft drinks ( 2.50 euros). They also sell baguettes, paninis and cakes. There is a... More
