With all of the above in mind, we have taken it upon ourselves to prepare a list of some of the best activities you can do with your friends, partner, or family the next time you visit this unique French destination.

Enjoying Aquasplash

Few things offer as many thrills and pleasurable experiences when you go on vacation as taking a dip in the many attractions Aquasplash offers. It is a theme park in Marineland that you simply must visit during your stay in Nice.

There is something for the whole family and all tastes. You can experience intense emotions in Draguero, have fun in the artificial river or, if you are looking for a somewhat more relaxing experience, lie down to sunbathe in the balmy Nice climate.

For the little ones, there is Lazy River, a smaller version of the Magic River, where the adults can have fun. All they have to do is use their range float and dive in.

The wildest ride awaits those brave enough to try the Obstacle Track and the half-pipe Side Winder, which is ten meters high. In addition, the themed attractions must be mentioned. Aquasplash also offers the Pirates' Island, a pirate-themed adventure full of lots of fun stuff like sharks, skulls, and swords.

Another attraction you simply must go on is the Spaceboat. Its winding ride is only suitable for the bravest, as it forces you through a 14-meter funnel and three loops of mind-bending darkness.

And since you will undoubtedly be up for more excitement afterwards, the Rainbow Cannon is a giant slide that will soak you with intense emotions from start to finish.

This attraction is only for the fit and intrepid and is not suitable for very young children, as it requires a minimum height of 1.20 m. However, it should be noted that several alternative attractions are perfect and safe for smaller children.

Visiting the Promenade des Anglais

The walk of the Englishmen, also called the Promenade des Anglais, is one of the most frequently mentioned tourist attractions when people discuss Nice.

In the past, it was only known as a popular destination for the English to avoid the harsh weather during the winter, but today it is the best-known site in Nice. It consists of a seven-kilometer promenade that is world-renowned. It begins on the hill of the Castle and culminates at the Nice airport itself.

Everyone should walk it at least once, especially if they are visiting Nice for the first time. To make the experience even more memorable, it is recommended to rent roller skates or a bicycle.

Walking on Mount Boron

This beautiful Mediterranean forest is located in the east of the city. It is one of the best places to take pictures to show your loved ones, especially at Fort Mont Alban. It is also an ideal place for those who enjoy a stunning natural environment, as landscapes such as the Bay of Villefranche and the Bay of Angels are truly unforgettable.

Going to Phoenix Park

Also known as the Nice Floral Park, this is a zoo and botanical garden conveniently located near the Nice airport, which is why it is also an ideal place to select for your first day in the city.

It spans seven hectares packed with an incredible biodiversity of flora and fauna. You will be captivated by its otters, marsupials, aviaries, porcupines, and ponds. It also has a spectacular greenhouse with different tropical climates, where you can appreciate the exquisite plants adapted to this climate and the beautiful pink flamingos.

If you are traveling with children, they can also have fun at Phoenix Park, as it has a children's play area - a perfect addition to make this place a must-visit where the whole family can have fun for an entire afternoon.

Eating Italian ice cream

If you visit the old town of Nice, you will have the opportunity to delight your palate with the authentic taste of traditional Italian ice cream.

Since you are in the old town of Nice, you should take the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Italian ice cream. You can find ice cream parlors such as Azzurro and Fenocchio in Rossetti Square. The taste is unique and sufficiently different compared to international gelato that it is worth taking some time out to try it for yourself.
