Overall

We visited Nice in January - not really knowing what to expect for somewhere so out of season but were pleasantly surprised. Going at this time of year didn't mean we missed out on anything (except perhaps scalding sunshine - it was just really pleasantly warm), it just meant that things were a little quieter and we could share the town with the locals instead of hoards of tourists. Being so close to Italy there were plenty of lovely pizza restaurants that we explored and the shopping and Promenade were great. Plenty of boutiques and designer shops for those with a bigger budget. Lots of history to discover and a great day excursion to Monte Carlo in Monaco by train made for a perfect week. Tip; If you take a day out by train from Nice it's well worth booking from Britain online... and book First Class! It's fantastic value and well worth it!
