So Much To Do::
Nice, being the 5th largest city of France, is undoubtedly vibrant and exciting, it is impossible to detail all of it's attractions here.
But it can also offer peace and tranquility within a short distance.
We believe that 'The Port of Nice' offers this luxury.
Currently viewed as the 'Notting Hill' of Nice with it's abundance of high quality Antique Shops, it is a place that caters for all tastes.
From Museums to Art Galleries and Theatres, and a differing choice of 'Festive' activities each month of the year, there is something for everyone.
Restaurants and cafes abound, with many newly established facilities in the area that cater for every type of cuisine you could wish for, from the humble creperie to the best of French and Italian cuisine.
If you are a 'shopper' visit 'Nice Etoile' and/or Galeries Layfayette' in the town centre, or to the west CAP 3000 one of the largest shopping malls in Europe, whilst rarely short of places for you to 'sit and watch the world go by'...
Transportation::
Just beyond the end of the street, you can take a bus to the centre of town or The Central Station. Buses are frequent (every few mins), and take about 10/15 mins, to get there, with a flat fare of 1 Euro 30c. per single journey, 4 Euros for a one day pass, and 16 Euros for a 14 journey ticket. If you want to go further afield, a 5 min brisk walk will take you to the local 'Gare Riquier', where you can catch a train to Monte Carlo (20 mins), Antibes, or Cannes and beyond.
Alternatively, Rent A Car, and be wherever you want to be......
Travel by Rail::
Take the number 30 bus to the main station (Gare SNCF), and there take the train to Monte Carlo (about 30 mins) or on to Ventimiglia (Italy), where, on a Friday morning, they hold the biggest open air market in Europe.
Alternatively take the TGV to any part of Southern France.
12 Hours from Waterloo(London) could get you here, also..
In any event we believe you will not fail to do anything but enjoy Nice, The Cote D'Azur and The South of France.......
We have our own Web Site for PortNicea which contains links on 'How To Get Here' and other 'Regional Information'.
