Full of lively bars, gourmet restaurants, Provence boutiques and an atmospheric atmosphere, the Old Town is undoubtedly one of Nice's most popular areas.\nThe Old Town, or Vieux Nice, as the locals call it, dates back to the 16th century and borders the Promenade des Anglais, the 'Castle on the Hill' and Avenue Jean Jaures. The main bus station, the beach and the new Tram stops are all within 5 minutes from anywhere in the Old Town, making it an ideal location for tourists.\n\nThe castle on the hill is the former site of a once great castle with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Demolished in 1706, the site and adjoining grounds now contain a large park, playground, waterfall and many areas from which one can enjoy spectacular views of Nice Centre, the Port , the Promenade des Anglais and the long beach winding around the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels). If the 213 steps to the top seem daunting, one can take the public elevator for a token fee.\n\nVieux Nice is a traditional medieval village characterized by narrow, winding streets and 16th-century buildings. There are many traditional shops selling Provencal fabrics and gourmet food. Nicoise foods, such as Socca, a pancake made with chickpeas and olive oil. Nicoise salad is also a local favorite, featuring prominently on the menus of restaurants in the city. In the evenings, the Old Town comes alive with a multitude of fine restaurants and late-night bars, from French Brasserie to Irish bars, from Indian restaurants to Provencal cuisine. The Palais de Justice (court) is the main landmark, connecting Cours Saleya - an end-to-end street lined with restaurants and bars popular with daily markets - with the more typical narrow side streets behind rue de la district. The Opera House of Nice,\n\nThe apartments in the Old Quarter are very diverse and unique. From small studios to old palaces, the price, size and quality can be huge.\n\nThere are a number of formerly magnificent palaces in the Old Town, some of which have a number of exquisite apartments popping up on the market from time to time. The Palais Lascaris, today a museum, is a prime example of the grandeur of some of these palaces.\n\nThe area of ​​Old Town overlooking the Promenade des Anglais is known as the Ponchettes, and is one of the most sought-after sites in Nice. When you consider the stunning sea views, seven kilometers of beach on your doorstep and a medieval village behind you, it's not hard to imagine the phenomenal demand associated with this part of Nice."},{"metadata":{"width":540,"height":960},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FS0298R4YQcPYKmKp6ZOv%2FSnaptik_6967070730085289222_maya-leonela.mp4?alt=media&token=f57c69bd-9bde-48cf-86ba-d87f7f4429af"}]},{"address":"Castle Hill","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":43.69470501517273,"longitude":7.280566700000017},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Castle Hill"},{"type":"text","content":"Castle Hill (Colline du Château) is a hill facing the sea.
