http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20924
The tour passed all Nice's main attractions. The guide explained Nice's history during the tour, and answered all questiones sufficiently which were put to him during the tour. The tour is three hours long and included a free coffee (or beer).

The guide also pointed out all the best bars and restaurants for different tastes on the tour - from cheap n cheerful to regional cuisine and top-end romantic.

A great way to orientate yourself in Nice and see it from some fantastic angles.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20924 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20585
There are wonderful art galleries and architecture; the shopping is excellent (the flower market is a must), as is the transport system, including a brand new tramway within the city, and buses which will take you along the coast and up to hill villages. The flight, with either Easyjet or BA who both go there all year round, takes about one hour 40 minutes with an easy transfer by bus into the city.

There is something for all tastes and because it will be Easter there will be a real festive buzz. Go! It's wonderful!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20585 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555
The place is great and the decor is superb. The floor staff (Igor and JP) is the same as at the former address. They do speak English
fluently which is a great help if yours is basic.

The food is simple and yet full of flavours, taste and colour. The service is excellent and the desserts are... out of this world.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19614 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19614 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18670
The moustachioed owner is friendly and chatty - go a second time and chances are he'll remember you.

To get a real taste of classic Nice food go for the assiette Nicoise. It gives you all the classics on one plate: stuffed vegetables, courgette flowers, sardines etc.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18670 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18619 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18619 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18516 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18516 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17717
They don't do rentals themselves but can put you in touch with property managers who can organise a great apartment to rent for a week or so!

Just a quick tip. Hope it helps someone.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17717 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17595
It is quite small and cosy with some tables outside. It's always busy and we'd highly recommend booking a few days before (we had to try three times before we got a table). It is a much better experience than the tourist trap of the Cours Saleya, and just two streets back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17595 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17594 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17594 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593
The cost per journey is a standard fare of 1.30 euros. You can also get a day pass for four euros entitling you to unlimited travel for the day. You can buy tickets at any of the self-service stations where you catch the tram.

The journey from Place Massena to Pont Michel takes approx 16 minutes and there is a tram every four minutes during peak times and every eight minutes off-peak. Trams run from 4 am until 2.30 am the next morning.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16251
Try the Parma ham freshly sliced to order in front of you. The duck is good too and the truffle risotto to die for. It’s still one of the busiest restaurants in Old Nice, a place where every other doorway leads to a restaurant, so book a table and enjoy.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16251 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15859
Also, if you decide to go to Monaco, or any other city for that fact, please take the train because I took a very scenic six-hour walk there and my feet didn't thank me. Besides, you will see more than I did because I was on a tight schedule, but I still managed to see a reasonable amount.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15859 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15424
Way better than Nice/Cannes where you can pay over 50 euros a drink to sit in a tiny over-rated hell hole, listening to shite minimal techno, surrounded by boring arrogant rich w**kers and professional bitches.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15423
Great place to eat in the afternoon after sex.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15423 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14972
So when you've reached the French capital on Eurostar you can get the TGV or SNCF south. It's great fun as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14972 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937
Don't worry about missing the train back, the driver is in there too! It gets back to Nice at 5pm. The scenery is spectacular and the trains and stations enchanting. It's cheap and if you're over 55 or a student (or une famille nombreuse) you will get a big discount.

Go in February when you can leave a spring-like Nice and be in the depths of winter in 30 minutes with giant icicles and snow fields. August is lavender festival time.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937
