Wasn't sure what to expect since it was my husband who suggested going here, but I must say, it was a very nice activity! We got to the top by taking the free lift (we would have walked but our legs were jello from Paris the day before), low and behold: amazing view of Nice and the Riviera! Castle Hill... More

Walking up the stairs might be difficult for some, but there is the elevator. My wife and I didn't use the elevator, and it was a wonderful walk among lush vegetation. The view of Nice is ample payment for the walk.

The climb is easier if you come from the old town the beach climb is all steps. The views are fantastic and worth it. Walk around the whole place and enjoying the changing scenery

Having seen the reviews on trip advisor we thought we would try this and we were not disappointed. If your young/energetic then a walk up is available but why not take the free lift to the top. Access is on the sea front just at the end of the promenade. Wonderful views of the harbour and on the other side... More

What a lovely view from this landmark would visit again on a return to Nice. An open top bus tour allows you to see all the places of interest

We took one look at the steps to the top and decided to take the escalator instead! On exiting, you are presented with a wonderful view of Nice in all its glory. There are a number of levels and they all have different views of the city and port. It's very pleasant just strolling around and enjoying the atmosphere and... More

A great way to start the day is to head up early in the morning so you can beat the tourist buses and crowds. The views from the top are the best you will get of the beautiful city and its surrounds. It is any easy walk for all ages and fitness types. Studding views and a must.

I don't think you can really appreciate the topography and beautiful colours of the shoreline until you get up high. I got some beautiful photographs from the many viewing platforms on the hill. It looks like a lot of steps, but it isn't! You soon reach an area of gentle slopes that you could take if you wanted to. At... More

It's a very nice walk up the hill and you get a perfect view of Nice and the beach when you reach the top. When up in the park, you can also see the harbour in the other direction. A must in Nice!
