For Nice itself a car can be a hindrance. Parking is not easy and not practical especially in Vieux Nice. If you are fit you can cycle using a Vélo Bleu, or just walk. Failing that there is a good and cheap Ligne d'Azur buses and trams.

Nice and the Côte d’Azur has an extensive, cheap and efficient bus service although most routes close down in the evening. Check the timetables at the bus stops if you need to return after 6.30pm. I’ve heard it said, only half jokingly, that the service is run for the convenience of its drivers rather than its passengers!

The excellent Ligne d’Azur Tramway, which until recently served only the City Centre (Line 1) has been extended and the very convenient new Line 2 (Ouest-Est) runs from Nice-Port Lympia to Nice-Côte-d'Azur Airport. Line 3, runs from Nice-St.Augustin (near the Airport) to Saint Isidore began operating during late 2019.
