Climb up the Colline du Château
Climb up the Colline du Château
The Colline du Château, also known as Castle Hill, is a significant landmark in Nice, France. It is situated on the eastern end of Nice, looming over Vieux Nice from a height of 92m. By day, the park offers unforgettable views over the Baie des Anges, and by night, the illuminated hill cuts a striking figure against the sky. Much of the top of the hill is a vast playground and sports center. With its spacious parkland, sweeping views, and evocative ruins, the Colline du Château is a great place to visit with kids. Despite its name, there’s very little of the medieval defensive fortress that remains, which is a shame considering the Chateau’s importance in Nice history.
