Sightseeing & Culture

Watch yachts pull into port as you stroll down the Promenade des Anglais, the world’s most elegant boardwalk. Meander through the maze of streets in Vieux Nice, stopping at the vibrant colors of the daily Cours Saleya flower and fruit market. People-watch and soak up sun from the comfort of a beach chair on the Plage Publique des Ponchettes. Sample fresh seafood at a sidewalk café on Place Rossetti. Browse the galleries of the dozens of museums and head to the hillside Parc du Chateau for spectacular views of the Cote d’Azur.

Shopping

Avenue Jean Medecin is the principal shopping street in Nice and is lined by the storefronts of chic boutiques and brand-name shops. Here you’ll find the Galeries Lafayette, the iconic department store specializing in high-end French brands.

Sports & Outdoors

Swim in the azure blue seas just a short walk from EF’s classrooms. Join friends for beach volleyball matches on the main beach or take in the coastal views while parasailing behind a jet boat. Try scuba diving around the fish-filled shores or strap on a pair of rollerblades and glide down the Promenade des Anglais.

Excursions

On the weekends, go beyond city limits to discover the beautiful Cote d’Azur cities of Cannes Antibes, St. Tropez and Ventimiglia. Glimpse royalty on a trip to Monaco and get a taste for cosmopolitan living in the international capitals of Paris and Barcelona.

Entertainment & Nightlife

Nice has the French Riviera’s finest nightlife. Evenings usually begin by sipping crisp white wine at a Vieux Nice café before heading to a flashy live performance at the Cabaret du Casino Ruhl. Boisterous bars can be found in the city’s old quarter while glitzy nightclubs are common along the waterfront.
