Nice Airport (NCE) to the city

  • The AERO return ticket is 10 EUR, with the return leg left open.
  • Travel between Terminal 2, Terminal 1 and Grand Arenas is free, so moving between terminals costs nothing.

  • The rechargeable card costs 2 EUR and the deposit is refundable at sales points.
  • The machines at the terminal stations take coins and bank cards.

The tram

  • Line 2 runs from the airport into Nice, calling at both terminals.
  • About every 10 minutes on weekdays, apart from 1 May.
  • Between Terminal 2, Terminal 1 and Grand Arenas the tram is free, which is worth knowing if you land at the wrong terminal.

The ticket

  • The AERO return is 10 EUR, and the return trip is open, with a connection allowed within 74 minutes.
  • No onboard sales. This is the trap: board without a ticket and you are travelling without one.
  • Ticket machines stand in the tram stations at Terminals 1 and 2, taking coins and bank cards.
  • The anonymous rechargeable card is 2 EUR, refundable at sales points and Lignes d Azur retailers.
  • The Lignes d Azur Tickets app is the alternative, and it is Android only.

Buses

  • Bus 12+ runs to Pasteur Hospital and other city destinations, again with no onboard sales.
  • Bus 80 is the Nice Airport Xpress, which accepts open payment by bank card at the validator.
