The port of Nice , built in the 18th century, is a true testament to the city's history. Also known as Port Lympia, it still shelters the famous "pointus niçois," the small, colorful boats typical of the French Riviera, which stand in stark contrast to the imposing yachts and cruise ships. Indeed, strolling along the port is to immerse oneself in a picturesque atmosphere where the old and the new coexist harmoniously. Just a few minutes' walk away, the Hotel West End offers an ideal starting point for exploring this iconic district.

Restaurants and bars in the port of Nice

The port of Nice is brimming with gourmet spots where you can savor Mediterranean cuisine with breathtaking sea views. You'll find restaurants showcasing local specialties such as socca, seafood, and pissaladière. Furthermore, to extend the experience, numerous bars and terraces offer the perfect place to sip a drink while enjoying the view of the boats and the port lights as night falls. So, whether it's for a sunset aperitif or a lively evening out, the port is a must-visit for fully experiencing the Nice lifestyle.

A boat trip to explore the Mediterranean

From the port, several boat trips are available to discover the French Riviera from a new perspective. Embark on a cruise to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer, or even Monaco and be amazed by the breathtaking coastal scenery. For an even more exclusive experience, you can rent a private boat with a skipper and sail at your own pace along the azure coastline.
