Short answer
Is Rauba Capeù & War Memorial Viewpoint worth it?
Rauba Capeù & War Memorial Viewpoint is a specialist choice, not a default stop.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
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.
- 02
It's distinct from Castle Hill itself: don't treat it as just the lift lobby up to the view.
