Getting from Nice Airport to your hotel
After a long flight and making your way through a busy airport, the last thing you want to do is sit on a crowded bus or tram and have to navigate the busy city streets with cumbersome luggage. The tram and bus stations are also located in the centre of Nice, at least a 20-30 minute walk from most hotels, so you will need to find alternate transportation to reach your accommodation.
However, taking a Nice Airport taxi will allow you to enjoy a swift, totally private and relaxing journey all the way to the door of your hotel in Nice. The only direct transfer option is to take a Nice Airport taxi to your hotel.
