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.
