Day-by-day itinerary

Day
1
- Nice
  Depart 18:00
  The capital of the French Riviera, curving along the pebbled Baie des Anges. The seafront Promenade des Anglais runs past the ochre lanes of the old town, and Monaco, Èze and the rest of the Côte d'Azur lie a short drive along the coast.

  Italy's great maritime city, stacked up the Ligurian hills above one of the Mediterranean's busiest harbours. Its old town is a maze of tall, narrow caruggi, and it claims pesto and focaccia as local inventions; the Aquarium and Renaissance palaces of Via Garibaldi sit close to the port.
