Every winter, the Nice Carnival transforms the city for several weeks with its floats, shows, flower battles, and entertainment.
It is also a highly sought-after period for visitors wishing to discover Nice in a different atmosphere from the summer season.
🎭 Why come to the Nice Carnival?
The Carnival allows you to enjoy Nice in winter while discovering one of the most iconic events on the Côte d’Azur.
Between shows, you can also visit Old Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, Castle Hill, or the surrounding villages.
📍 Where to sleep during the Carnival?
In the center of Nice
This is the most practical solution for reaching the festivities on foot.
On the other hand, rates may increase and parking can sometimes be complicated.
Just outside Nice
Choosing accommodation slightly away from the center allows you to enjoy a quieter environment while remaining close to the city.
