Nice airport to Cannes: how to get there?
Getting to Cannes from Nice Côte d’Azur airport
Cannes has no commercial airport: most visitors arrive through Nice Côte d’Azur airport, about thirty kilometres away. The trip is short, but your choice of transport makes a big difference, especially with luggage or during a major event.
The bus
Buses link the airport to central Cannes via the motorway. It is cheap, but timetables are fixed, luggage space is limited and the stop is not always close to your hotel.
The train
A station near the airport lets you take a regional TER train to Cannes station. The ride is quick, but you have to reach the station with your suitcases, then finish the journey to your hotel.
The taxi
Available outside the terminals, it drops you at the door. The queue can be long in high season, and the fare depends on the meter and the traffic.
A private chauffeur: simple and predictable
With a private chauffeur between Nice and Cannes, your driver tracks your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drops you directly at your hotel, the Palais des Festivals or your apartment. The price is known in advance, on quotation.
Depending on the time, the trip goes via the A8 motorway or along the coast through Antibes and Juan-les-Pins. For families and groups, a van or minibus with driver lets everyone travel together with all their luggage.
