8 Beaches around Nice // Nice Travel Guide
Nice is the perfect city for a day at the beach and an evening out exploring the city. But where do you put your towel? Nice itself boasts miles of beach where you can easily spend a day relaxing, but just outside Nice you'll also find beautiful beaches you'd much rather visit. Imagine beautiful bays surrounded by pine trees and colorful houses. Where do we find the most beautiful beaches on the Côte d'Azur?
Villefranche-sur-Mer: The most popular sandy beach outside Nice is Villefrance-sur-Mer. A 20-minute bus ride (81 or 100, stop Octroi) and a 15-minute walk downhill will take you to the sea. This beach also has several restaurants where you can grab a sandwich or ice cream. P.S.: You'll have a wonderful "French" view from here: colorful houses, greenery, and lots of boats.
Plage Fossettes: Near the beautiful harbor of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, you'll find two coves: Plage Fossettes and Plage des Fosses, with crystal-clear, calm water. Perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The beach is very basic, so bring your own snack bag. Or walk back to the harbor and have lunch at one of the numerous restaurants there.

At night, you'd love to fall into a soft bed and wake up refreshed and refreshed the next day. But what are the best hotels in Nice? To help you plan your vacation, I've listed eight great ones. hotels in Nice lined up for you.
Private Apartment 2 -Old Town: Looking for a little more privacy, or don't fancy a sleepy morning at the breakfast buffet? Book an apartment! Private Apartment 2 - Old Town is the perfect apartment in the heart of Nice. You'll have the beach literally around the corner, countless lunch spots and restaurants to try every evening, and you're only 450 meters from the main attraction of Massena Square and 280 meters from Cours Saleya. Plenty to do! In our opinion, the apartment is reminiscent of a design hotel: it's modern, clean, and simultaneously gives you a warm, homey feeling.
Villa Otero by Happyculture: A 20s hotel with Tuscan-style rooms in Nice's Musicians' Quarter—doesn't that sound romantic? The rooms' interiors are especially appealing. The walls are decorated with cheerful wallpaper, there are retro bamboo chairs, and wooden floors. Lovely! A 10-minute walk takes you to the beach, and five minutes later you're in the city center, with its restaurants and coffee shops.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢
Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3
In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.
Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake
TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.
You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk
I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.
During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.
• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.
· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.
· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.
Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.
• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).
Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.
