What travelers say:
Castle Hill, though, on the mountain you may not find the so-called "castle" because it was completely destroyed by Louis XIV's army in 1706. But today Castle Hill is still beautiful and one of the treasures of every distant visitor. Overlooking the elegant and chic Angel Bay, the magnificent panoramic view of the unique old town and port, is a must-check in "take beautiful photos" highlands! Don't miss it!

Castle Hill Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Nice Castle Hill is located on a hill at the eastern end of the American Pier, 92 meters high, overlooking the old city of Nice and the Bay of Angels to the west, and overlooking the Port of Limbia to the east. The castle here has been destroyed in 1706, only the Bellanda Tower (TourBellanda) remains to this day, and it is still possible to imagine the momentum of the castle overlooking the coastline. The park features an 18th-century man-made waterfall and children's playground, making it a great spot for a picnic.

Nice Castle Hill ViewThe views from Castle Hill in #nicefrance are absolutely stunning. #solotravel #historicallandmarks #waterfallsusan01
Nice, the most beautiful Bay of Angels.The most beautiful place in Nice is Angel Bay, and the best place to admire Angel Bay is Castle Hill. From the top, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Angel Bay. Of course, Castle Hill itself is also worth a visit. Castle Hill was established as a trading port by the Greeks thousands of years ago, which led to the establishment of Nice. Later, it was occupied by the Roman Empire and a magnificent military fortress was built, hence the name Castle Hill. Departing from the hotel in the morning, follow the beautiful Angel Bay to the east, and Castle Hill is located at the end of the famous Promenade des Anglais. The entrance to the mountain is actually a hotel, and you can climb up the stairs of the hotel building and follow the slightly steep mountain road to reach the top, or you can take the elevator directly to the top. The elevator is highly recommended. In the expensive South of France, this elevator is actually free. Except for a slight wait during peak hours, it is definitely the preferred way to climb the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, the original castle has been demolished, and only a few ruins of the fortress remain. The corridors, bathrooms, and churches of the Roman castle tell people about its past glory. The mountaintop has been designated as a park, with trees and a waterfall at the highest point. Most tourists gather at two observation decks. The western observation deck overlooks the entire old town of Nice and the azure Angel Bay. It is recommended to climb Castle Hill in the morning when the crescent-shaped Angel Bay extends to the horizon, and the sea emits a charming deep blue color in the light. This is the most beautiful Cote d'Azur. The eastern observation platform overlooks the entire Port Lympia, and the harbor is full of luxury yachts. The distant red lighthouse guides the yachts in and out of the harbor safely.NovaStardust151

Castle Hill#celebratewithtrip Castle Hill in Nice dominates the city and divides the seaside part of Nice into two parts, the eastern part with the port and the western part with the old town of Nice. Going up the hill, you can either take the 300 steps from the old town or take the Castle Hill Elevator ( Ascensur ) is free, bringing you almost to the top. Once on top you can discover several hidden gems as well as cafes, gift shops, amazing views and children's favorite playgrounds. You can explore what is left of the Chateau, see the ruins of an ancient Cathedral and enjoy Le Park du Chateau on the hill. The 92 meters high hill offers views from all sides, and tourists take the most recognizable photos of Nice from here.Raymond TCY1

Beautiful waterfall in Nice 🇫🇷#celebratewithtrip #france #nice #mustgo #beautiful This place is an absolute must. It's a lot of climbing but definitely worth the climb and the sweat. The waterfall is located in a landscape garden surrounding the 11th century citadel. An artificial waterfall with a garden was created in the first half Nineteenth century on the initiative of Karl Felix of the Savoy. Once you are here you will be able to gaze at the view which covers the city of Nice. Here you will be able to see the old city centre, Hotel Le Negresco and even the airport in the far. On the other side, you will also be able to see the Marina (Port Lympia) with all the yachts lined up waiting to set sail on their next voyage.Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog)

The view from Castle Hill, Nice#celebratewithtrip #france #nice As the name suggests there will be some climbing involved. Not to worry for those with low fitness levels, it’s not as intense as you might think. At the end of the hike you’ll be rewarded with an amazing view of the city and sea. We’ve noticed also some little tourist train buses which go up. They could also be a viable option if you don’t feel like climbing. We recommend you approach the hill from the North as it has less of a steep climb. The climb from the beach is done through some stairs which can be steep for some. On the way up you will also be able to see some of the ruins from the old citadel although only the foundations. Below the view point you will also see an artificial waterfall. A good spot to take photos for sureCheckinaway (@checkinawayblog)

Castle Hill Waterfall in Nice#mytripvlog #nice #france #frenchriviera #waterfall #amazingview This place is simply beautiful 😍Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog)
Castle Hill, just on the hill behind the morning city of Nice Old Town, is a must-see place on a clear day. The Peak Park enjoys a 360° view of the dead end, 10 am - noon 2 I think it is the best time to take a photo. At this time, the sea of Angel Bay is restored to the most beautiful azure by the angle of the sun. This scene is simply a camera memory card killer. France, NiceTobeJIN.

The beautiful Nice Castle Hill is situated on a hill at the eastern end of the American Quay, overlooking the Old Town of Nice and Angel Bay to the west and the Port of Lymbia to the east. At present, only Bellanda Tower (Tour Bellanda) is reserved to this day, but it is still possible to imagine the castle overlooking the coastline. The park is a good place for picnics.
Castle Hill was the site of the Greek Fuckians' choice to build a business thousands of years ago and thus built the city of Nice. Up the Castle Hill you can enjoy the unique beauty of the Nice coast and the boulevards!
Castle Hill on the coast of Nice, along the super-beautiful Angel Bay, you can see a round building at the corner of the coast, climbing up the stairs of the building, you can reach the castle platform. In fact, the castle is no longer there, only now the viewing platform, to see Angel Bay is the most beautiful, semi-circular coast, blue ocean, free-flying seagulls, is perfect. Oil Painting.
The castle is a free attraction. It's only five minutes from Angel Bay. You can take an elevator or a staircase. It's a great place to enjoy Angel Bay. There's a big platform on the top of the hill. Many local people rest here. Children are playing with amusement facilities. Nice Harbour is just behind the castle. It's very beautiful.
I didn't want to go up because it looked high, but I almost regretted it. Nice beach view from Castle Hill is the best ㅎ
It was the site of the construction of the firm selected by the Greek Fuckians thousands of years ago and thus built the city of Nice.
Overlooking the Old Town of Nice and the Bay of Angels, it was destroyed in 1706 and remains only the Bellandata.
