Our second day in Nice we went to explore Monaco and Menton. We walked from our hostel towards the bus and wandered up the hill. We realized we could go to the top of the city and get a view of all of Nice from Montée Château (Castle Hill).

We thought we were walking towards an elevator which would take us up to the top, (the faster and most efficient way up, as we were planning on climbing the hill in Monaco in an hour) but ended up winding up many many sets of stairs through the Parc du Chateau. Eventually we were just feet from the top and we had inadvertently climbed a mountain. The views were spectacular!
