Traveler reviews
Larisa Voitovich
★★★★★3 months agoPlace Garibaldi is one of the most beautiful and grand squares in Nice. I was completely charmed by the uniform yellow facades and the impressive 'trompe-l'œil' murals—it feels like you're walking through a living masterpiece of Piedmontese Baroque art. The monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi at the center is a powerful focal point, and the surrounding fountains add a lovely sense of calm. It’s a wonderful spot to sit at a café, enjoy the sunshine, and watch the world go by. It connects the Old Town with the modern city perfectly. If you appreciate history and unique architectural details, this square is a must-see!
Sujay Sreekumar
★★★★★a year agoThis is one of the main spots of Nice. Lovely area to walk by, very picturesque with a fountain in the middle and all nice buildings around it. Nice sculptures also decorate the area. Lot of open spaces and food joints nearby.
