Why Nice is Perfect for City Quests

Nice isn’t just a postcard-perfect destination; it’s a vibrant city that welcomes over 5 million visitors each year, making it France’s top tourist city after Paris. With 300 days of sunshine, 10 kilometers of coastline, and 178 parks and gardens, Nice is tailor-made for outdoor adventures and gamified exploration. In fact, 97% of visitors report being satisfied with their stay — a testament to the city’s charm and the endless possibilities for fun and discovery.

The Rise of Gamified Tourism in Nice

Across France and Europe, there’s a growing trend for gamified city experiences — from scavenger hunts to city escape games and self-guided quests. These adventures blend sightseeing with interactive challenges, puzzles, and stories, making city exploration more engaging, educational, and social. According to the French Ministry of Tourism, digital and sustainable tourism is a top priority, and Nice is at the forefront of this movement.
