Transfers in Nice

Nice is the hub of the French Riviera. Its airport is only about 7 km from the centre, and local taxi firms, VTC drivers and chauffeurs cover the whole coast, from Cannes and Saint-Tropez to Monaco and over the border into Italy. Bus 12+ stops about 150 m from Terminal 1 and runs along the Promenade des Anglais to Place Masséna and the old town.

Tips

A single tram or bus ticket costs about €1.70 and is valid for 74 minutes. The city taxi dispatcher takes advance bookings by phone or WhatsApp. To save money, get off the tram at Grand Arénas, the first stop outside the airport, and buy a rechargeable card there instead of the airport return ticket. In summer, book private drivers early.
