Nice is considered to be the unofficial capital of the French Riviera, with a serene and relaxed day-time aura, and a reputation of a lively nightlife. A picture of Mediterranean bliss, it has gained the title 'Nice la Belle' (Nice the Beautiful). Nice may have become popular a due to the English aristocracy looking for somewhere to escape their harsh winters, including Queen Victoria, but you will find evidence of its maritime history and its many transfers of settlement as you explore.
It is a fantastic place for a weekend city-break, as the main part of the town is conveniently a 20-minute drive from the airport, at one end of the Promenade des Anglais (Walkway of the English). The centre of Nice is very easily accessible by tram, which runs alongside the Promenade des Anglais, departing from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, costing €1.50 per journey. Nice is also accessible by train throughout mainland Europe, though do check the timetables, as France has been known to participate in regular train strikes.
You should keep in mind that in any hotel you choose to stay in, you will be asked to pay a city tax in addition to your accommodation cost. This is usually between € 0.2 and € 4.0 per person, per night, depending upon the quality of your accommodation.
