Nice is great for a day ,but you must not pass the Cinque
Terre,Italy.
Cinque Terre is five little towns you can hike between just
south of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. GO!
I thought Nice was pretty seedy...I wouldn't bother
stopping there - do like the above poster recommended and
see the Cinque Terra - now that's a place definitely worth
visiting!
Hi Chica,
Sorry if this sounds a bit like an advertisment - but I've
now spent over a week in 23 countries around the world.
The hostel with one of the best locations in Europe is "The
Relais International De La Jeunesse" in a town called Cap
D'Ail. This is the first stop after Monte Carlo travelling
to Nice. (By train 5mins from Monte Carlo, 15mins from Nice
- the hostel is about 300 meters from the station in Cap
d'Ail).
It's a beautiful old mansion in millionaires row and its
right on the ocean. (Yes I'm serious, I couldn't believe
it when I saw it either).
It's an ideal place to chill out because they have a
midnight curfew. This is one of the reasons a lot of
people don't (want to) know about it.
I've found it a great place to recharge the batteries in
the past.
The only other draw back with the place is that it's a non-
profit organisation so the management can be a bit
chaotic.
Hope you enjoy your stay there. If you do tell them
Stewart, (from Australia), sent you.
