Even on a tight schedule, Cimiez (Roman Ruins & Monastery) earns the hours.
Allow 1.5–2.5 hrs.
A genteel residential hill that bundles the city's quieter cultural goods: Roman amphitheatre and baths, a tranquil Franciscan monastery with a famous cloister garden and Matisse's grave, all in a shady olive-grove park. The honest catch — the Roman remains are modest, and it's really a peaceful half-day for culture lovers, not a headline draw.
