Got 4-6 hours at Nice Airport? You're perfectly positioned for a quick taste of French Riviera elegance. The airport is uniquely located right on the coast. A short tram ride (around 20-30 minutes) can take you to the iconic Promenade des Anglais. Stroll along this famous beachfront boulevard, admire the azure waters of the Baie des Anges, and soak in the vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. If time permits, a quick wander into the charming narrow streets of Vieux Nice (Old Town) for a socca (chickpea pancake) offers an authentic local flavor.
