Plan ahead to bag tickets for the best events
Flagship events such as the Nice Jazz Festival in July, and February’s Carnaval de Nice (for those keen to watch the parades from the comfort of a seat in a stand), require planning months in advance. Ditto for world-famous dates such as the Monaco Grand Prix or the Fête du Citron(Lemon Festival) in Menton, which you’ll most likely attend on a day trip from Nice (where accommodation is less hotly contested).
Arrange a night at the opera
The show season at Nice’s hallowed Opéra Nice Cote d’Azurruns from September to June, and tickets for operas, classical concerts and ballets at this grandiose 19th-century opera house sell like hotcakes. Buy tickets a few weeks ahead and pack something a little more formal to wear to fit in.
Book tables in advance for the city’s foodie hotspots
Nice has plenty of old-town bistros, neighborhood eateries, caves à manger (wine bars) and sea-gazing restaurants that require no table reservations. But you should book tables at least a couple of weeks in advance to ensure you don’t miss out on the perfect plate of petits farcis (stuffed vegetables) or socca (chickpea pancakes) or the creative contemporary gastronomy of such Michelin-starred chefs as Tourteaux brothers atFlaveur, Michaël Gracieux at L’Aromate, or South African chef Jan Hend...
Keep bikinis and bare chests for the beach
Don’t walk around the city in skimpy beachwear or bare-chested. Away from the shore, dress as you would in any non-coastal city. In summer, loose-fitting shirts and flowing skirts or baggy shorts are the way to go. Don’t forget a sunhat, sun protection and shades. Once actually on the beach, toplessness is perfectly acceptable and locals aren’t shy!
Sex on the beach? Non non non!
Noticeboards clearly explaining what you cannot do sur la plageare displayed at the entrance to beaches along Promenade des Anglais. Barbecues, campfires, wild camping, loud music and sex on the beach are all prohibited and punishable by stiff fines. Dogs are also barred, except on canine-friendly Plage de la Lanterne.
Leave the pebbles where they belong
It might be tempting to pop a couple of Nice’s signature round galets(pebbles) into your beach bag to paint and craft into a souvenir paperweight back home, but don’t! Each year, some 15,000 cubic meters of gloriously smooth pebbles from the nearby River Paillon are poured onto the beaches along Promenade des Anglais to slow down natural (and human-assisted) erosion. Play your part in preserving Nice’s legendary pebble beach – or risk a €38 (US$40) fine. Also, note that Nice’s iconic blue cha...
Ditch bottled water for tap water
Tap water is safe to drink in Nice, and ordering une carafe d’eau(a jug of tap water) rather than bottled water in restaurants saves euros and reduces plastic consumption. Bring your own water bottle to fill up while roving around town. There are free drinking fountains spouting eau potable(drinking water) in both terminals at Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport and in various spots around town. You can also find taps in the public shower-blocks on the beachfront along Promenade des Anglais.
Beware of pickpockets and petty thieves
As in any other city, keep your wits about you. Beware of pickpockets in tourist-crowded areas such as Vieux Nice’s Cours Saleya markets, and on trams and buses into town from the airport. Don’t leave personal belongings unattended on the beach – your valuables are safer left back at your hotel.
Watch for stinger jellyfish
If you notice a lack of people jumping into the shallows or swimming further out to sea, it's usually for a good reason. Mauve stinger jellyfish (Pelagia noctiluca) plague the Med at certain times of year, particularly in August. Ask around before entering the sea, and take the lead of locals – if they’re steering clear of the water, do the same.
