Product Description
Ideal for business and leisure, the "Nice CityPack" is succinct with all the practical information you need. The guide has been completely revamped with new content design and layout. There are four main sections: Essential..., By Area, Where to Stay and Need to Know. Nice has been broken up into colour-coded districts, with the colour-coding cross-referenced throughout each section.Essential...starts with the Top 25 sights plus a locator map, then essential information to get the most of a short break in the city. By Area takes you through the sights of the city, district by district, with local shopping, entertainment and restaurant listings. Where to Stay picks the best hotels to suit your budget, with web addresses listed where available. Need to Know contains all the basics for a smooth-running trip. Each district within the city has a two-page, colour-coded locator map with sights listed. A folded map of Nice contained within a poppered pocket is included at the back of the book.

Whether you're planning a weekend break to Nice, or intend to stay longer, this book is an excellent guide. Well presented, clear and easy to follow - it helped my girlfriend and I make the most of our holiday to this great city.
The book concentrates, for the most part, on Nice itself. It divides the city into four sections, and then gives full details on the top sights and attractions, along with recommendations of restaurants and shop within that district. All the maps are clear and very easy to follow - and the recommended places to visit are given a nicely detailed summary, along with good colour photographs. I appreciate that Lonely Planet and Rough Guides cover a much greater area in more detail, but their reliance on large blocks of text I feel a bit heavy going. In contrast, this guide is easy to flick through and follow whilst you're out and about on the move.
If, like us, you're staying in Nice for longer, then the final section is also very useful. As it's easy to take advantage of Nice's great rail links to Cannes, Monaco and a number of other local villages this guide also provides neat summaries of these areas and recommends sights to visit - albeit in slightly less detail, so a trip to the local Tourist Office is still advised.
Overall, I love the design and feel of this book. It proved the perfect companion.

We planned our break in Nice using this little guide and found it to be really helpful. Good reviews of places to stay, eat and visit. The maps were invaluable. Everything appeared up-to-date including the local travel information.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT GUIDEBOOK, IT HAS ALL THE PLACES OF INTEREST LISTED AND HAS THE ADDED BONUS OF A LAMINATED MAP. I HAVE BOUGHT AA GUIDE BOOKS BEFORE AND WOULD SAY THEY ARE ABOUT THE BEST ON THE MARKET.

Avoid
Unless you really need to find the Emporio Armani shop or the crappy IBIS hotel by the train station avoid this "guidebook". We found it to be utterly useless. Reason? Read more
