Great exercise to stimulate the brain and enjoy the fabulous views at the top. Stunning waterfall. Used to be a castle on the top decades ago, but gone now.

We discovered the lift after a hot morning's sightseeing, and were very pleased to be whisked to the top of the hill effortlessly! The views are fabulous. There's a lovely shady area with seats where you can enjoy the views while having a picnic, and there's also a café. Watch out though - a woman walking towards us suddenly bent... More

Totally worth the walk up the stairs (though you can catch the free elevator if you don't like stairs!) Beautiful views of Nice! Not to be missed.

The best place to get stunning views over Nice, whether promenade/sea or the old town, you don't have to struggle to the top, take the lift built in the the hill! Signposted off the promenade, free service.

I've titled this 'unmissable' but I very nearly did miss it, the plan was to go on the beach but it was an overcast day so this was a spur of the moment thing. We took the free lift up and down. The views are amazing. The cafe at the top is really reasonable too.

We picked up a 'Roadtrain' trip from the promenade. Pretty cramped and it was quite amusing watching the slightly less limber climb on and off.There was a recorded commentary in a choice of languages but it was mechanical and I found it annoying and hard to understand. The views from the top of the hill were spectacular and there is... More

Lots of steps but not too challenging. Excellent views from on top and places to rest and eat. Well worth the hike. There is a lift (free) if you are not up for the steps.

We walked up from Rossetti plaza enjoyed the views and got the lift back down to the beach, a great way to spend an hour or so whilst in Nice.

Hike up to the top to see excellent views of Nice and Port of Nice! Well worth it! There is a lift which is €1 single, but the walk is not too bad up to the park at the top! Also go and see the waterfall which can be seen from the sea. Belle!
