Getting around Nice
It is easy to come to Nice, it is also easy to get around.
The city of Nice is a human-scale city where it is possible to get around, mostly on foot. Transport facilities provide an optimal service.
From its international airport, just a few kilometres from the city centre, to the complementary nature of the various modes of transport (road network, TGV, bus, tramway, taxi, or blue bikes), Nice combines attractiveness and connectivity.
