NEWS: A new Car Rental Centre has been opened, along with a new car park.
Nice Airport is a large airport on the south coast of France - and very handy for holiday resorts in the Med. Correctly called Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur it is only 6 km (3.5 miles) southwest of Nice city centre. It can get insanely busy - being the busiest airport in France outside Paris - with over ten million passengers a year, and with several long haul flights. Nice Airport is located on the western end of the Promenade des Anglais, near l'Arénas - you can walk into the city if you are really determined.

The two airport terminals are linked by courtesy shuttle buses that also connect the car parks with the terminals.

Strictly speaking there isn't an airport train as such at Nice, however SNCF do have local services from from Nice St Augustin railway station, 500m from Terminal 1.
