Getting There & AwayBy Air
The Nice International Airport, Nice-Côte d'Azur international
airport, is 6km (3.5mi) west of Nice. It is the second busiest
airport in France with over 40 national and international airlines
fly in and out of Nice, and services to Paris are very frequent.
By Train
Several railway stations connect the French Riviera to all French
and European cities. Nice's main train station is Gare Nice Ville.
Over 150 trains leave the Nice Ville station towards major cities in
France and Italy daily. Also, the high-speed TGV train connects
Paris to Nice.
By Car
Cars, motorcycles and mopeds with insurance helmets and petrol
can be possibly rented. However, a deposit and credit card would be
required for most rentals. And driving in Nice can be tough and the
parking is often much further away from your destination.
By Bus
Several bus companies link Nice with French and international
destinations. The public transport system is efficient and also
providing connections to all parts of the city. Obtain the detailed
information from tourist information offices which hand out free
schedules and guide books for you.
Getting Around
There is an efficient bus service that covers the city with
routes all along the Riviera. A half-hourly bus service runs from
the airport to Nice train station, where you can catch another bus
to promenade des Anglais or the beach. For other destinations in
the city, check out the central bus station on square Général
Leclerc. The train service is both inexpensive and frequent. Also,
a miniature train that gives a 45-minute tour around the city, is
available in Nice.
Perhaps, the best way to explore the centre of town is on foot,
but car can be easily hired. And having your own wheels can be
helpful for discovering the rest of the Côte d'Azur.
