Enjoy the views from Mount Alban & Fort
On this mountain you will be able to find the 16th century fort with the same name which protected the nearby areas as well as stunning views of Port Lympia and the nearby gulfs.
The fort was closed when we went there but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this spectacular view.
From there you can proceed through the forest. Walking down the hill you will notice that this area is a like a public garden with plenty of picnic benches and recreational game areas.
To be enjoyed on a sunny Sunday for sure! Amazing place :)

Amazing views and a must go when in Nice. We visited this on our last day. Went there by public transport. The ticket is just 1.5 euros or you can get a day card with unlimited trips for 5 euros.
We climbed a steep hill to get to the Fort but at the end it was totally worth it. The Fort is rather impressive but it was closed when we were there, so we could only go around and admire the views.
Built by order of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, between 1557 and 1560, Fort du Mont Alban is one of the most exemplary French military architectural structures dating back to the 16th century.
The purpose of its construction was, of course, of military nature: to reinforce the defense line considerably debilitate as a result of the siege of Nice (in 1543). But what is striking about Fort du Mont Alban is it has survived, as said, in good condition, despite the fact it was considerably affected in World War Two.

Nice has plenty of things to offer to prospective tourists. Everything from its amazing coastline to impressive architecture, Nice has something for everyone.
First and foremost we suggest you group your points strategically so you can cover them efficiently. As mentioned above, the old city centre can be covered within a day by foot however, the other parts may need you to buy public transport tickets.
Alternatively, you might consider a Hop-on, Hop-off Bus Tour to cover the main attractions.
