Day 3

nice (villefranche), france

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 19:00

Nice endures its annual influx of tourists each summer, offering all the typical features of a Riviera town: relaxed wealth, a generous beach, museums, and flower-lined avenues, but without the pretentious detachment of its neighboring towns. Moreover, Nice boasts excellent public transportation within the city and to all destinations along the Côte d’Azur, making it an ideal base for exploring the Riviera. The city's long, narrow beach and sunbathing guests are the main attractions for most visitors. However, Nice's old town, or vieille ville, is also worth exploring. This historic district is a unique mix of glamour and a Mediterranean medieval quarter with narrow streets and open-air markets. For a breathtaking Riviera view, climb to the top of the castle. The city also houses several exceptional museums, such as the Musée Matisse, which showcases the work of French painter Henri Matisse, and the Musée National Marc Chagall, dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall. The grand Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coast. This pedestrian area is teeming with boutiques, bustling restaurants, and tourists of all kinds. Nice's nightlife is vibrant, with the maze of narrow streets in the vieille ville concealing restaurants and bars, contributing to the city's Mediterranean charm.

Day 4

livorno (lucca) - italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 23:59

The city of Livorno is situated in Tuscany. Today, it stands as an industrial hub on the Mediterranean coast, with its primary industries being metallurgy and chemicals, though it also boasts a significant oil refinery. Despite its industrial focus, the city also attracts tourists due to its rich history and unique experiences it offers. Originally, Livorno started as a small fishing village. However, it held great significance for the Medici family due to its strategic location, and they declared the port a free port from 1590 until 1860. This allowed the city to flourish. However, much of this development was lost during the Second World War when the city suffered extensive damage, particularly to its historic Cathedral and synagogue.
