  1. Vieux Nice

Fall for the magical lanes in the Vieux-Nice, its pretty little squares and colourful buildings. The old town is just a 15 minute walk from your 4* hotel and a go-to for photographers in Nice. There's a whole host of architectural gems at every turn. End with the Cours Saleya Flower Market to capture the colours and Nice vibe that reigns over it.

  1. Castle Hill

Climb to the top of Castle Hill for incredible 360 degree views of the city. Soak up the stunning views from Bellanda Tower of the Promenade des Anglais and Vieux-Nice then head to the other side of the hill for jaw-dropping views of Nice Port.

We should mention that the best time to take photos is between late March and early April when the cherry blossom trees bloom and the temperature starts to rise.

  1. Place Masséna

Iconic Place Masséna is a favourite among tourists to take selfies in Nice. It's famous for its checkerboard ground, sun fountain and illuminated statues with snaps taken of it every day in every way.

Make the most of the Christmas Market on Place Masséna to go up the big wheel and take amazing photos of the Baie des Anges. Night or day, you'll be blown away!

 

  1. Promenade des Anglais

Promenade des Anglais, just a 5 minute walk from the Best Western Plus Hotel Brice Garden Nice, is one of the world's most famous promenades. Immortalise its iconic sights during your stay in Nice: the blue chairs, street artists, the legendary Negresco, Nice pebbles and the Mediterannean Sea in the background.

The best time for breath-taking snaps is at dawn when the sun rises or at the end of the day as the sun sets.

  1. Le Plongeoir in Nice

The best photos of Nice posted on Instagram are taken at Le Plongeoir in Nice. Just a few minutes' walk from Nice Port, the top of Le Plongeoir's rock is the dream spot to capture a romantic moment.

In high season, Le Plongeoir in Nice is occupied by the restaurant of the same name. Seize the opportunity to book a seafront table and take photos of this magical moment. 

 

  1. Nice Port

There are myriad ways to capture the summer colours at Nice Port. Take a stroll on the port's docks to soak up the colours of the traditional Nice pointu fishing boats, bright buildings surrounding it and the Mediterranean's azur blue.

How about setting sail to gaze at Nice's beauty from afar with the snow-capped mountains as the backdrop?

 

At the end of the day, the private garden at your 4* hotel in central Nice is lit up to make the perfect place for your evening snaps. For the chance to be reposted on our social networks, tag #SummerHotels and add the Best Western Plus Hotel Brice Garden on Instagram and Facebook.
