Rauba Capeù & War Memorial Viewpoint
The dramatic point where the Promenade rounds Castle Hill toward the port.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling with kids and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
The 'steal-your-hat' bend (that's what the Niçois name means) where the Promenade swings hard around the foot of Castle Hill — the one spot in Nice where you feel city, open sea and cliff collide at once, often with real wind off the water.
Our read - 02
It's distinct from Castle Hill itself: don't treat it as just the lift lobby up to the view.
