Built at the top of a hill, it stood overlooking the bay of Nice from the 11th century to the 18th century. It was besieged several times, especially in 1543 and in 1691, before it was taken by French troops in 1705 and finally destroyed in 1706 by command of Louis XIV. Nowadays, Castle Hill is used as a park.
By Public Transport
Take Bus Line 14 or 38, and get off at "Le Château" (check local maps/schedules).
Buses don’t go all the way up but can drop you closer than starting from the beach.
By Walking
The most scenic route is to walk up the wide, cobblestone staircase that starts at the end of the Promenade des Anglais. This walk takes about 15 minutes from the city center, according to Explore the Riviera.
By Elevator
For those who prefer not to climb, there's an elevator located near Tour Bellanda, which will bring you close to the top, according to What's On in Nice.
