Three days is more than enough to visit Nice, France. I was there for only two and still managed to see all of the major attractions and squeezed in my trip to Monaco.
Nice is known for its incredibly sunny weather, relaxing atmosphere and warm population. The top attractions are the Marché aux Fleurs (flower market), the Nice Cathedral, and the many museums. Plus, it rests on a perfect part of the French Riviera, so it has an incredible energy and vibe to accompany the many sights!

Nice is perfectly safe for solo travelers! I walked up and down the alleys of Nice at night and I never felt threatened. The population of Nice is extremely warm and inviting!
