Getting to central Nice from Nice Côte d’Azur airport
How do you get from Nice airport to the city centre? Nice Côte d’Azur airport is only about 7 km from the centre: allow about 15 to 25 minutes by car depending on traffic. Tram, bus, taxi, ride-hailing app or private chauffeur: here are your options, with their pros and cons.
The tram (line 2)
Tram line 2 of the Lignes d’Azur network serves Terminals 1 and 2 and links the airport with the city centre and the port. It uses the network’s standard ticket. Current fares and timetables are published on the official Lignes d’Azur website. It is practical and affordable, but less comfortable with several suitcases, at night or if your address is far from a stop.
The bus
Regular bus lines also serve the airport, with fixed timetables. The same applies: handy if you travel light, less suited to luggage, children or a late arrival.
The taxi
Taxis wait outside the terminals. In Nice, the airport to city centre ride is normally charged according to the regulations in force: check the displayed fare. In high season, the wait at the rank can be long.
Ride-hailing apps
Ride-hailing apps are available in Nice: simply order from the app when you land. The price varies with demand and can rise at peak times or during major events.
