Nice, France

[Geebles]

How far a walk is it to Old Nice from the cruise dock? Any other suggestions for things to see and do in Nice. We will be there from 8:00am to 11:00 pm. Thanks

It's a 15 minute stroll. And a nice stroll. Please, don't plan anything, just stroll into the old town. Have a coupe de champagne at a bar, a leisurely lunch - perhaps some oysters, a wander round the market, and just soak it all in. Ignore anyone who says go to Eze, Grasse, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Pedro's donkey, etc....... just take it easy and enjoy.

When I visited Nice it was when I tendered into Villefrance. I took the train to Nice and then the Bus to Monaco, walked around Monaco, took another bus over to Monaco (not far) then bus back to Villefrance.

I think it would easily be possible for you to do Monaco and Monte Carlo from Nice in your time frame. Also, check out postings for Eze on the boards, as lots of people rave about it and you could visit their from Nice.
