Nice Nightlife

As you may expect from France's 5th largest city Nice nightlife can cater for every taste. For the latest and ever changing music and theatre scene buy the weekly magazine "Semaine des Spectacles" or follow the links on Our What's On Page to the latest Nice nightlife and culture. Much of Nice's great nightlife is concentrated in or around the Old Town. Rent a Quiet Nice apartment in the Old Town.

To start with let's look at the most luxurious end of the market, an evening can be spent enjoying the bar in The Negresco or for a little more glitz, how about the casino (or Moulin Rouge-style floor show) at the Palais de la Mediterranee. Both are on the Promenade des Anglais and both (for most of us) would be considered a "special occasion" type venue. The luxury and glamour is high - and so are the prices, though you can of course just play the fruit-machines or slots in the casino (bring your passport to gain entry).

Let's look in a little more detail at more regular nightlife favorites in Nice:

Ghost in Old Nice, is a popular lounge bar with the coolest locals.
