What to expect
You download the app and walk at your own pace through Nice's layers—starting along the palm-lined Anglais, then cutting up into the labyrinthine Vieux Nice where laundry flutters overhead and café owners know their regulars. At each of the 27 stops, tap to hear recorded commentary about the building, street, or view you're standing in. The 3D map keeps you oriented; headphones help you hear details over traffic, though you can read transcripts instead. Expect steep sections climbing to Castle Hill, cobblestones that slow you down, and plenty of photo pauses. The walk suits all fitness levels since you control the pace—some finish in under 3 hours, others linger.
Good to know
