Jardin Albert Ier, Nice

2 Avenue de Verdun, Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Description

The Jardin Albert-Ier is a mid-size public garden located in the centre of Nice, next to the old town and the seaside Promenade des Anglais. It contains several statues and works of art, the most notable of which are the Arc de Venet and the Fountain of the Three Graces. The garden was created in 1852 (and later extended) and initially called Jardin de Paradis before its name changed a few times before settling on Albert Ier in 1914, in honour of the then King of Belgium.

Access & Transport

The garden is between Place Massena and the Promenade des Anglais, at the western edge of the Vieux Nice. The "Albert 1er / Phocéens" and "Albert 1er / Verdun" bus stops (12, 23, 32) are located next to it and the "Opéra - Vieille Ville" tram stop (L1) is less than 200m away.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the Vieux Nice (old town), the Nice Cathedral, and the Promenade des Anglais.

Meta review

Positive reviews on account not only of its central location but for it being kept free of litter, well-equipped with clean toilet, shade, fountains and for having children's installations. The highlight for many is the water mirror just outside, right next to Massena Square.

Environmental & Social

Green attraction. Provides some space for residents and tourists alike to stroll, play with children or relax.

Conclusion

The Jardin Albert-Ier is extremely central and worth one or several visits when transiting between the Vieux Nice and the seaside, whether it is to enjoy some green spaces and shade, play with kids or simply relax after than great long lunch.
