Getting Around, Nice Travel and Nice Transport
(Nice, Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur, France, FR)



Nice may be a relatively large city, but with its compact centre and pedestrianized areas, it is easy to travel around it without a car if your hotel is within Nice city centre. Most major attractions can be reached on foot.

Nice also has a good public transport system, although many visitors prefer to hire a car in order to make day trips out of Nice. Rental cars allow you to travel the coast with relative ease, or to one of the other Riviera resorts, or to simply travel inland and into the mountains. Here are Nice's main travel options and available public transport.
