But we think it\u2019s even nicer to be in Nice, the Cote D\u2019Azur\u2019s most welcoming city on the French Riveria. Nice oozes both charm and sophistication, while also being an accessible gateway to some of the Provence region\u2019s more exotic locations.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>What can I do in Nice?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">There\u2019s lots to do in this sunny city, from people watching along the Promenade Des Anglais, to art admiration in the Mus\u00e9e Matisse, or getting lost in the narrow streets of Vieux Nice (the Old Town). And, of course, there\u2019s always time to sip on a spritz at a local Beach Club or sample a Salad Nicoise at one of Nice\u2019s many top restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48805 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-995530526.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have a car, you can drive further along the Cote D\u2019Azur for a bit of celebrity spotting in St Tropez, or travel inland along the breathtaking Route Napolean if mountain scenery is more your thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/en-ie\/flights-from-cork-to-nice\"><span class=\"s1\">Aer Lingus flies from Cork to Nice <\/span><\/a>(every Wednesday, Saturday) until 30 September.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Go your own way to Santiago De Compostela <\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re looking for different kind of vibe then look no further than the verdant hills of Galicia and the spiritual capital of Spain, Santiago de Compostela.
