The tram leaves from the terminals themselves and crosses Nice to the port. Here is what to know before you land: which ticket to buy, how often trams run according to the airport, and which stop to get off at for the apartments.
The tram starts inside the airport. Line 2 serves Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, reaches the city centre at Jean-Médecin and ends at Port Lympia. The airport quotes under thirty minutes to the centre, with a tram every seven to eight minutes.
The airport notes that this frequency applies every day except 1 May. It is the one day of the year worth checking before you set off.
The airport has its own ticket. Lignes d’Azur sells the “Aéro” at €10: it covers one return journey to or from the airport, connection included, and has no expiry date. The ticket you buy on arrival will still work on the way out two weeks later — provided you keep it.
For the rest of the network an ordinary ticket is enough: from €1.70, with connections allowed for seventy-four minutes.
| Ticket | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Aéro | €10 | One return journey to or from the airport, connection included, no expiry date |
| Multi-trip | From €1.70 | One journey on the network, connections for 74 minutes |
Fares change. These were taken from the Lignes d’Azur website on the date given at the foot of this page; that page is the authority, not this one.
The Magnan stop is 127 metres from the building. Lines 2 and 3 both serve it, so line 2 takes you there from the airport without changing, and the airport itself is only 3.7 kilometres away. Which leaves no luggage to carry beyond the last hundred and thirty metres.
These are straight-line distances measured from the building’s coordinates. The real walk follows the streets and will be slightly longer: we would rather give an exact measurement than an estimated walking time.
On the way out, the “Aéro” ticket bought on arrival covers the return. From Magnan, line 2 serves both terminals directly, and the free link runs between them if you pick the wrong one.
That leaves the time of day. First and last trams vary, and are worth checking on the Lignes d’Azur website — which is also the only place where fares are up to date.
The figures in this article come from the pages below, as of the dates shown. A fare or a timetable may have changed since: where they disagree, the source is right.
Nice’s shoreline is not one beach but thirty-seven, public and private, strung along the Promenade des Anglais. What tells them apart, what is lifeguarded, and what awaits anyone meeting the pebbles for the first time.
None of the three apartments comes with a parking space. That is not an oversight: Nice is crossed by tram, and a car costs more than it saves here. Here are the three ways to park one, from the cheapest to the most convenient.
Three apartments one street from the Promenade des Anglais, let directly by their owner.
