# Nice in 2 days: day by day

> Two days in Nice cover the city and the loveliest stretch of coast. Day one is Vieux-Nice and its market, Castle Hill, the Chagall Museum and the Promenade des Anglais at sunset. Day two heads east: the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer with its colourful houses, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its nine gardens on the Cap Ferrat isthmus, and the Greek-style Villa Kérylos in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, all 10–15 minutes by train.

## Nice itinerary for 2 days

Day one is on foot in the centre: old town, hill, Chagall and Promenade. Day two takes the TER train east: 10 minutes to Villefranche, 15 to Beaulieu. Buy tickets from the station machines or the app.

The Villa Ephrussi sits on the hill between Villefranche and Beaulieu: a 20–25-minute uphill walk from Beaulieu station or a few minutes by bus. Its musical fountains play every 20 minutes.

Remove any stop with ✕ or reorder it with ≡, and add another nearby: the timings update.

## Day two: Villefranche and two villas

In the morning, Villefranche: the old town, the vaulted Rue Obscure and the waterfront where yachts lie at anchor. Then the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild: the pink palace, the French garden and pool, and the Japanese and Spanish corners.

After lunch, head down to Beaulieu and the Villa Kérylos, a copy of an ancient Greek house on a headland. In the evening, swim at Beaulieu or go back to Villefranche for the sunset.

## More to see

With a third day, visit [Antibes](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/antibes) and its Picasso Museum and [Cagnes-sur-Mer](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/cagnes-sur-mer) with Renoir's house. The clifftop village of [Èze](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/eze) is 30 minutes by bus.
