Seafood enthusiasts will relish trying pissaladière, a tart topped with onions, anchovies, and olives, capturing the Mediterranean's flavors. For a sweet treat, tourte de blettes, a Swiss chard pie mixed with raisins and pine nuts, showcases the unique blend of sweet and savory common in Niçois cuisine.

To accompany these dishes, savor a glass of Bellet wine, produced in the vineyards surrounding Nice and one of France’s oldest wine regions. Or, opt for a pastis, an anise-flavored spirit that's a local apéritif favorite.

Transportation and getting around the city

When you land in Nice, getting to the city center from the airport is a breeze. You've got a few options: the Tramway Line 2 is super convenient and cost-effective, taking you directly to the city center in about 20 minutes. If you prefer, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available right outside the terminals.

For getting around the city, public transport is your friend. Nice has a comprehensive network of buses and trams that are both affordable and efficient. A day pass can be a great value if you're planning to explore extensively.

Walking is also a fantastic way to discover Nice. Areas like the Old Town (Vieux Nice) are pedestrian-friendly and full of character, perfect for leisurely strolls and soaking in the local vibe.

If you're into sightseeing, the tour bus is a must. You can hop on and off at various attractions around the city. Tickets are available online or directly from the bus driver.

For practical travel tips, the local currency is the Euro, and while many places accept credit cards, carrying some cash is wise for smaller purchases, especially in markets or smaller establishments. Regarding electricity, France uses Type E sockets, and the standard voltage is 230 V, so bring an adapter if your devices use a different plug type.
