Airport Bus

.
Right outside the terminal are the bus
stops. You can take the#98 or the #99
Bus, and either will put you right in the
heart of Nice.
Most hotels are within a maximum of a
15 minute walk from the stops.We took the
#99, and the hotel was a 10 minute walk.

**Take The Bus To Your Hotel**
The bus only costs 4 Euro per trip which is about 5 USD.
Taxi or shuttle bus will cost you approx. 25-30 Euro for the
same trip .... (about 35-40 USD)

Taxi's and shuttles are a rip off, so if you don't mind a 10-15
minute walk, take the bus. We had no problem with our 4
suitcases at all.

Check the bus schedule, because the buses DO NOT run
24/7 to the airport, and DO NOT start early in the morning.

Our flight was at 6:20 AM, so we had to leave the hotel about
0515, meaning we had to take a taxi or shuttle. Taxi's and shuttles
have a 10 Euro surcharge for their services after 1900 (7PM) and
before 0700 (7AM) ... (about 13 USD)

Gare Routiere - Bus Station

.
Nice has excellent bus service for the city.
A slightly adventurous way of visiting a new
city is to take any bus to the end of the line
and back again, or ride out and walk back.
You'll often see interesting parts of a city
that the tourist guides never mention ....

In addition to city wide buses, service is provided to the surrounding towns and
villages, including Antibes, Cannes, Eze, Grasse and Vence.
