Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, often searched as Nice cote dazur airport, is about 10 km from the centre of the French Riviera in a straight line.
Arriving at the airport
After landing, follow the signs for baggage reclaim and arrivals. Keep your passport and travel documents available until you have completed any required checks, then collect your luggage before heading into the public arrivals area.
Once outside arrivals, look for the clearly marked meeting points, taxi signs and public transport information. If someone is collecting you, agree on a meeting point before your flight, as mobile coverage and airport crowds can make last-minute contact difficult. For a pre-booked transfer, check the booking instructions and confirm where your driver will meet you.
Getting into town
A private transfer is a useful choice if you have heavy luggage, are travelling with children or want to go directly to your accommodation. Your driver can meet you after arrivals and take you to the address provided with your booking. Check the meeting instructions and cancellation terms before travelling.
Taxis are available from the official airport rank. Use the authorised rank rather than accepting an unsolicited offer inside or outside the airport. Ask the driver to confirm the destination before setting off, and keep the receipt if you need it later.
Public transport can suit travellers who are comfortable checking routes, stops and service updates themselves. Airport information boards and the relevant transport provider are the best sources for current details, as services and arrangements can change.
Hire cars are convenient for exploring the coast, inland villages and nearby destinations. Compare fuel, insurance, deposit and return conditions before collecting the vehicle, and allow time to inspect it for existing damage.
Popular transfers from the airport
Popular private transfer destinations include Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Menton, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Tropez, Saint-Raphael, Frejus, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. Choose the destination shown on your accommodation booking, and check access details if you are staying in a pedestrian area or a property with a restricted road.
Flying home
For your return journey, leave your accommodation with enough time for traffic, vehicle collection, luggage drop-off, security and any border checks. Allow extra flexibility during busy travel periods or when travelling from further along the coast. Check your flight information and the airport’s current guidance before setting out, then follow signs from the public area to departures.
