Traveler reviews
Mike M.
★★★★★10 months agoA wonderful spot to see Nice's port from above. Located on the east side of Castle Hill Park, this offers incredible views of the port, the sea, Parc du Mont Boron, and the surrounding cityscape. There is a snack stand, a little convenience store, and toilets close by. The park also features a large meadow and playground just steps away. Walk across the meadow to find Point de vue Colline du Château, which looks over the west side. You can get here by either walking up the hill from the port, or taking an elevator on the Old Town side. I got some of my favorite pics of the city at this spot, so I highly recommend.

★★★★★3 months agoThe views from Castle Hill (Colline du Château) are absolutely incredible. The panoramic scenery over the Bay of Angels, Old Town, and the harbor is truly breathtaking and gives you a full appreciation of how beautiful the city really is. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, take it all in, and just enjoy the moment. The setting feels peaceful and scenic, with plenty of places to stop and soak in the views. Whether you walk up or take the elevator, it’s absolutely worth the visit. If you’re in Nice, this is a must-see for the views alone.
