Guide to the Nice Cycle Hire Scheme

When going on a city break, the best way to explore a city is by bike. You’re plans can be more flexible, it allows to truly experience the city, you can go at your own pace and discover places and streets that one would not see when taking the boring old tours buses. Government sponsored bike schemes make it really easy to do.
The fifth and final city in the series is:
Nice
The fifth largest city in France provides you with the perfect scenery for a nice bike ride through the town. The region is breath-taking. Its architecture is Roman-inspired, it has scenic bay views that are just perfect for a few holiday snaps and the fascinating old town is best discovered on a bike rather than on a bus.

When cycling by the small buildings, intimate streets, canals and squares one can practically feel the historical atmosphere of the city. Amsterdam offers a lot of culture with the highest density of museums in the world.
