How to get to Nice castle hill for your proposal

If you are driving, you can park in Nice old town parking, where you will be able to have a drink after your proposal

Park Access

The bottom of the park is next to 1 Rue des Ponchettes, 06300 Nice.

To get to the actual Nice Castle hill park, you can walk the stair or use the elevator. The elevator (when opened) closes earlier than the park. But it is free and would avoid walking up the hill (and getting sweaty).
As the elevator closes before we get down, keep in mind you will have to walk hundreds of stairs, thus avoiding high heel shoes.

Elevator entrance

Sometimes the elevator is closed without notice, so anyway, you should schedule to be at the bottom of the stairs 25 to 30 minutes before the proposal.
The best way to check availability and timing is to call them: +3304 93 85 62 33


Castle hill Opening hours
 

  • April – Septembre      : 8H30 – 20H00
  • October – March         : 8H30 – 18H00

The best time for your  Nice proposal, is 20-30 minutes before the park closes.
This way, most of the people are already walking down and you get the best golden hour lights.

Best locations for Nice Castle Hill Proposal

I have selected a few places based on: view, walking distance, intimacy, and light. I to avoid getting to the top of the hill, as it is more steps, and it is often “more” crowded.
My goal is to go to the nicest and easiest locations.
