Activities
Your time with Sprachcaffe in Nice is more than just a holiday - it's an immersive journey full of discovery, culture and connection. From sunlit terraces to art-filled streets, this city offers endless ways to enjoy the French Riviera lifestyle. Public transport is easy to use, with tram and bus stops close by. If you prefer more independence, renting a bike or car gives you the freedom to explore the coast and countryside at your own pace.
Wander through the charming Old Town, take in the views from Castle Hill, or unwind along the Promenade des Anglais. Dive into local flavours at Cours Saleya market, visit world-class museums, or take a short trip to neighbouring gems like Cannes, Monaco or Antibes. Whether you enjoy food, art, nature or nightlife - in Nice, inspiration is around every corner.

Whether you need a visa to study in Nice depends on your nationality and the duration of your stay. EU and EFTA citizens can join Sprachcaffe courses in Nice without a visa. For non-EU participants, a tourist visa (valid for stays under 90 days) is often sufficient for standard language courses. If you plan to stay longer or combine study with work, you may need a student visa. Sprachcaffe provides a Letter of Acceptance upon course booking to support your visa application. We recommend checking with the French consulate in your country for up-to-date regulations and contacting us for guidance during the process.

Work opportunities for language course participants in France are limited. EU citizens can work freely during their stay, although most choose to focus on learning and leisure. Non-EU students need a long-term student visa with work permission if they wish to work while studying. However, Sprachcaffe's Nice programme for adults is designed to provide a balance of learning and lifestyle without the need to work. If you're looking for a Work & Study option, we offer this programme in destinations like Germany, Malta, and Spain.
Sprachcaffe's adult courses in Nice are designed for participants aged 18 and above. There is no upper age limit - many students join us in their 30s, 40s and beyond. Whether you are a university student, a professional or a retiree, the atmosphere is welcoming and the courses are tailored to your level and pace.
Nice is easily accessible from Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport, just a 15-20 minute taxi or bus ride away. Once you arrive, getting around the city is simple with reliable public transport and short distances between key attractions. Nice is also a perfect starting point for exploring the French Riviera, with frequent buses and trains to places like Cannes, Monaco and Antibes.
