Somerset Maugham once famously mused that the French Riviera was a sunny place for shady people and bold and brashy Nice does its best to epitomise this nefariously glamorous reputation. A collage of sultry cool and seedy decadence, Nice is a city that is hard not to react to and become enveloped in.
The traffic may be a nightmare and the tourist hordes can be suffocating in summer, but amongst the tack and the bawdy streets are a smattering of art galleries and museums (19 in total), a lively old quarter and the wide sweep of Mediterranean seafront that brought visitors here in the first place. Nice today very much retains its spilt personality; you can revel in the worlds of such artistic greats as Matisse, Chagall and Picasso, marvelling at the famed local light that has always made Nice a Mecca for artists. Then 10 minutes later you can delve beyond the centre and enter the world of the insalubrious graffiti blighted suburbs that help make this the fifth largest city in France.
Nice may not always be a relaxed getaway or have the same exclusivity that its fin-de-siecle high society patrons once sought, but it has plenty to keep visitors occupied in its own right as well as making a convenient base for longer explorations of the Côte DAzur. If it all gets too much, you can do what people have being doing for centuries and turn your back on Nice and enjoy those sweeping Mediterranean views.

- Nice Market
The sunny Cours Saleya, in the centre of the picturesque Vieux Nice, hosts a daily market where you can stock up on local fruit and veg, cheese and other specialities. Plants and flowers are displayed until later in the day. - Vieux Nice (Nice Old Town)
Vieux Nice stands in the middle of the buzzing metropolis, providing an oasis of tradition and history much appreciated by the visitor. Based around the Cours Saleya, the maze-like streets of the Old Town are fun to explore, whether one is shopping, eating or simply just enjoying the architecture. - Parc Phoenix
Nice's Parc Phoenix is a botanist's paradise. It contains one of the largest greenhouse in the world, numerous rare plant species, a lake and a selection of gardens, ranging from Louisiana-style to the Austral Africa Garden. More than 2500 plant species, some rare, grow here, protected by the Mediterranean setting. - The Museum of Asiatic Arts
Situated in the middle of Nice's Parc Phoenix, the Museum of Asiatic Arts is home to a superb collection of art from China, Japan, India, Cambodia and other Asian nations. - The Chagall Museum
Marc Chagall is often referred to as one of the three patriachs of French art, along with Picasso and Matisse. The artist created the Chagall Museum in the 1970s, designed as a thematic display based on scenes from the Bible, intending to provide the public with a serene location in which to contemplate religion.
