4-Hour Stopover in Nice: What to Do Hands-Free?

4 hours is enough to fall in love with Nice — as long as you don't spend half that time figuring out where to leave your bags. Here's our recommended itinerary for a perfect stopover, with OHLALA Lockers as your starting point.

Step 0 — Drop Your Bags (15 min)

First things first: head to OHLALA Lockers in the Notre Dame district. Just 8 minutes from Nice-Ville station and accessible by tram T1/T2 (Jean Médecin stop), our automatic storage frees you up in under 5 minutes. Book online before you arrive to make it even faster.

Step 1 — Old Nice and Cours Saleya Market (60 min)

From the Notre Dame district, take tram T1 towards Old Nice (Garibaldi stop) or walk 20 minutes along Avenue Jean Médecin. Cours Saleya hosts one of the finest markets on the French Riviera (every day except Monday). Stroll through the baroque alleyways of the Old Town, whose ochre facades hint at the proximity to Italy.

Step 2 — The Promenade des Anglais (45 min)

From Old Nice, reach the sea in 5 minutes. The Promenade des Anglais stretches 7km facing the Mediterranean. Even for a short stopover, 45 minutes on the Promenade — with a stop at one of the beach cafés — is an absolute must.

Step 3 — Colline du Château (30 min)

For a panoramic view over the Baie des Anges and Nice's rooftops, head up to Colline du Château (free lift from the seafront). The view over the sea and the old port is breathtaking. In 30 minutes, you can go up, take it all in, and come back down.

Collect Your Bags and Head Off

Return to OHLALA Lockers (tram T2 from Old Nice, Jean Médecin stop), collect your bags with your QR code, and make your way back to the station or airport stress-free. With Tram T2, Nice Airport is 20 minutes from the city centre.
