Where do I get it from?
You will need to leave Nice Airport (by foot is the best method) and walk for around 15 minutes from the airport to reach Nice-St Augustin Station. All the TER train services will leave from this station. Check tickets online first to see operating times for the service to Cannes.
Convenience
Trains are fast, cheap and less hassle than buses, but the service does not leave from the airport, meaning that you will have to make an extra transit to the station. This can cost time or money, which can be annoying after a long flight.
Editor’s Note
Buying TER Train tickets from the bus ticket window at the airport may be a bit easier than purchasing once you get to the station.
