The Never-Ending Nightlife in Nice
Much of the French Riviera is renowned for its top-notch nightlife, and Nice is no different. The city boasts a lively scene after dark with its multitude of trendy bars, laidback pubs, and high-class clubs.
You'll find most of the nightlife scene happening along the Promenade de Anglais, where there's a focused collection of clubs as well as the casino. If clubs aren't your thing, though, it's still the perfect place to head after dark simply for the atmosphere - there's always an eclectic mix of performers that rally up the partygoers.
Alternatively, you can head to Massena and the Old Town, which harbour a flurry of quaint bars and vibrant clubs. Like its diverse collection of culture, art, and food, Nice's nightlife has something for everyone, whether you like the soulful sounds of jazz, want to get your dance on with some of the world's best DJs, or simply want to soak up the atmosphere without breaking the bank.
Soak up the Coast Between the Airport and the City Centre
Nice Airport is situated just along the coast from the city centre, offering amazing views as you come into the city. You can hop on a scenic bus or a train which both travel directly from the airport into the city centre. Or, if you're in a rush, grab a taxi from outside the airport terminals which are cheap and cheerful. If you're travelling in rush hour it's best to veto the taxis as you might end up paying over the odds for what should have been a short journey.
