Where to stay for a 7-day trip
A longer trip rewards a quieter, more residential base. You will not be rushing out the door every morning.
📍 Vieux Nice (Old Town)
Atmospheric, cafe-dense, flower market on Cours Saleya at your door. Narrow lanes — stroller-tricky but magical.
📍 Mont Boron / Cimiez
Residential, elevated, views over the bay, quieter with young kids. Tram to centre in 15 min.
Budget for 7 days — family of 4
Comfort tier estimate
€3,500+ for 3 nights (4-star Promenade hotel, private driver days, Monaco Palace tour, fine-dining with sea view).
Saving tips (apply to any trip length):
- 💡 SNCF Zou Côte d'Azur regional day pass (€10 adult, €5 kids) covers unlimited coastal trains Nice ↔ Cannes ↔ Monaco ↔ Menton — a single ticket to Monaco alone is €4
- 💡 Socca (chickpea pancake, €3 slice) + pissaladière at Chez Pipo in Vieux Nice is the local family lunch
- 💡 Free public beaches are between every private beach club — bring a mat
- 💡 Monaco Oceanographic Museum family ticket is €55 vs. €90 individual — always ask
Best time for a 7-day Nice trip
When: May–June and September (ideal; 22–26°C, warm sea, uncrowded). Avoid August if you can — crowded, expensive, hot.
Getting there: Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is 20 min by tram line 2 (€1.50 single, kids under 10 free) to the city centre. Direct from most European hubs (1–3h). The airport is on the beach — one of the most scenic landings in Europe.
