Getting Around

Nice is an ideal walking city. It does, however, have a good public transportation system as well. There is some current disruption due to the construction of the new tramway, due to open in 2006.

Buses connect all parts of the city. You can buy tickets on board the buses. A single ticket is €1.30 and a SunPass one day ticket is €4. You can find information about routes on www.lignedazur.com.

Taxis are expensive, but the main ranks are at the following locations:

• Esplanade Masséna
• Promenade des Anglais
• Place Garibaldi
• Rue Hôtel-des-Postes
• Gare SNCF
• Acropolis

Alternatively, if you want to see more than just the beach and the old town, you could hire a bike, though at roughly €26 a day it’s also expensive.

Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport

The Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport is the second largest in France. More than 8 million passengers travel through each year (of which 49% are from overseas) and it represents an ideal gateway to the South of Europe. 45 airlines make 82 direct connections to 27 countries worldwide and operate a large number of daily flights to and from 30 other French cities. Ligne D'Azur have a No. 23 bus that departs from terminal 1 every 30 minutes between 06.00 and 21.00 to the centre of Nice. There is also a No. 98 bus that departs from both terminals. It runs during the same period and goes to Nice bus station. A single fare on both buses is €1.30. There are also various companies that can provide transfers from or to the airport, but services must be reserved in advance for a minimum of 2 persons. There are taxis outside both terminals. A typical fare into Nice during the day will be €20-25. During the night it will be €23-28.
