Settle into the little electric train on the Promenade des Anglais for an unhurried look at Nice. Ride up to Castle Hill, pause at the lookout over the Bay of Angels, and listen to commentary in your language.

Full description

This electric mini-train leaves from the Promenade des Anglais for a roughly 50-minute loop of the city. It carries passengers up to Castle Hill without any climbing on foot, then stops for about ten minutes at the viewpoint over Nice and the Bay of Angels.

Recorded commentary is offered in eight languages, and the operator describes the train as accessible. Its slow pace and seated format suit families and older visitors who want an overview before exploring on foot.

Reviews

Cara: Good value and a comfortable pace, especially for reaching the hill without walking; a longer ride would have pleased her.
