Nice
Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Nice.
City Overview
Nice is the tourism, convention and lifestyle capital of the French Riviera — warm, with beautiful coastline, the Promenade des Anglais and an old town. Tourism, conventions, tech (near the Sophia Antipolis park) and a population of retirees and remote workers converge here. Living and housing costs run high (behind only the Paris/Geneva areas), but sunshine, sea views and an international feel stand out — a southeastern gateway toward Monaco and Italy.
