Cimiez, Residential neighborhood in Nice, France.
The elevated district of Cimiez stretches across hilltops north of Nice, featuring Roman ruins, museums, and gardens surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.
The ancient Roman city of Cemenelum, located in present-day Cimiez, served as the capital of the Alpes Maritimae province with thermal baths and an amphitheater.
The Matisse Museum, housed in a red villa, displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, and personal items from the renowned French artist.
Bus line 5 connects central Nice to Cimiez, providing direct access to the Monastery, Archaeological Museum, and Roman ruins within walking distance.
The Excelsior Regina Palace, built in 1897, reserved 70 rooms for Queen Victoria during her stays, who explored Nice under the alias Lady Balmoral.
