Coming To Nice
Traveling by Train
The main train station, Gare de Nice-Ville, is conveniently located in the heart of the city. France's high-speed TGV trains connect Nice directly with Paris in about six hours, and there are also frequent services from other major French cities like Lyon and Marseille.
International attendees can take advantage of direct train connections from Italian cities such as Milan, Genoa, and Venice. For those traveling from London, services combine the Eurostar to Paris with a connecting TGV to Nice.
Traveling by Air
The most convenient way to reach Nice is by flying into Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), located just 7 kilometers from the city center. As France's second-largest airport, it serves over 120 destinations with numerous major airlines.
Upon arrival, the Tram Line 2 offers a direct connection from both airport terminals to the city center in approximately 30 minutes.
Traveling by Road
The primary route is the A8 motorway, also known as "La Provençale," which connects the city to Aix-en-Provence in the west and the Italian border in the east.
You can also use a long-distance coach. The city is serviced by several major bus companies, including FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, and Alsa, connecting it to numerous cities across France and Europe. Buses arrive at Gare Routière de Nice Vauban, the city's main bus station. From there, local trams and buses provide easy connections to the rest of the city.
