Nice also has a reputation of being home to a number of museums most of which offer free entry to both locals and tourists. The museum of Asian art houses the best architecture collections of Indians and Chinese. The Parc Phoenix is home to more than 2500 different plants at the tropical glass house and botanical garden and also houses many animals as well. Muse Chagall majorly has artistic collections as well as the nearby Musee Matisse where you can see charming collections of drawings, sculptures and paintings dating back to the 17th century.
Apart from visiting the museum with your hired car, Nice is also known to be a home of beautiful beaches and you will definitely love going for general lounging or bathing at the beaches. But you will realize that most of these beaches are just large flat stones known as gallets but you can get a better experience at some of the private beaches. Besides mats or towels, it is also recommended that you carry along a pair of sandals as it can be quite painful to walk on the stones. Moving from Nice Airport to the attractions nearby is more convenient if you seek the services of a car hire company based at the airport.
