That’s it, the holidays are booked, but how do you get to Nice? There are several possibilities:
By plane: Nice airport is only 7km (4.4 miles) from Nice city centre. For further information please click on https://www.nice.aeroport.fr/en
-> The tram L2 leaves from terminal 2 passing terminal 1 and lasts 20-25 minutes to the city centre or to the port. The 4 stops in the city centre (Alsace Lorraine, Jean Médecin, Durandy, Garibaldi-Le Château) are underground. The terminus is located at Port Lympia.
-> The red electric bus n°12 passes the airport on the Promenade des Anglais, which is a 5-minute walk from terminal 1. It serves several stops on the Promenade des Anglais and stops about 25 minutes later close to the MAMAC museum near Place Garibaldi and the Old Town of Nice.
->A one-way ticket for the tram or bus costs 1,70€ + 2€ for the plastic card that you can reload during your stay. If there are many of you and you are staying in Nice for several days, you may already load as many trips as you need on the plastic card.
