Travelling to Nice
    
Nice is a major transportation hub and a convenient base from which to explore
the region. From Paris, take the A6 (Paris-Lyon) motorway, connecting with the
A7 Marseille-bound motorway, then head east on the A8. From Italy, follow the
A8/E80 highway; from Spain, follow the A9/E19 to Nimes, connecting with the A54/A8/E80
east.
From Paris' Gare de Lyon, the TGV train takes 6 hours, 30 minutes to get to
Nice's Gare SNCF. There are two trains per day from October to May and three
per day from June to September. The sleeper-car train service runs between the
main French towns.
The slow trains that travel along the coast of the Riviera stop in Nice, and
there are frequent services from Cannes, Monaco and Antibes, among others. Trains
arrive in the centre of the modern part of the city on avenue Thiers. Eurolines
coaches come from locations all over Europe, arriving at Gare Routière
de Nice, the bus station at promenade de Paillon.
The Aéroport International Nice-Côte d'Azur is France's second
busiest airport, with up to 45 planes per day from Paris; there's also a flight
from New York to Nice. EasyJet, a European budget airline, offers a flight from
London to Nice. The airport has two terminals and is 7kms from the city centre.
Terminal 1 is used for international flights.
A bus leaves the airport every 30 minutes for the town centre and SNCF train
station; it takes about 30 minutes and costs €3.50. An equivalent bus,
with roughly the same frequency and charging the same fares, departs from the
airport for the Gare Routière (Municipal Bus Station). A taxi takes 20
minutes and costs about €25 to €30.
Ferries come and go all day from the five ports on Corsica including: Bastia,
Calvi, Ajaccio, Propriano and L'Ile-Rousse. There are high-speed NGVs available,
as well as car ferries.
