Jardin des Arènes de Cimiez
Garden4.5 · 4 5614 · 1≈ 45 minFree entry2.2 km from the center
A garden on the Cimiez hill built around the ruins of the Roman town of Cemenelum: an amphitheatre and baths from the 1st–3rd centuries sit beside the archaeological museum. The park's charm lies in its olive grove with centuries-old trees, a rose garden and shaded walks where families rest. The Franciscan monastery stands nearby, and the Matisse museum is a few steps away. Entry is free, and even in high season it is calmer than the seafront.
