Nice’s cultural landscape spans from Roman antiquity at the Cemenelum archaeological site to modern masterpieces at the Matisse and Marc Chagall national museums. The city's history is preserved in the 17th-century Palais Lascaris and the Masséna Museum, which showcases regional heritage alongside Impressionist works. Architectural highlights include the Musée des Arts Asiatiques, designed by Kenzo Tange, and the Villa Arson’s experimental art campus. For panoramic views, the Raubà Capeu headland and Castle Hill offer vistas of the Promenade des Anglais and the Mediterranean.
