About Nice Airport
The unofficial capital of the French Riviera is the astoundingly beautiful Nice, which offers all the comforts of a Mediterranean city while providing history buffs and art enthusiasts with plenty to enjoy. Top spots include the renowned Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) along with the historic Old Nice port and neighborhood.
The city’s primary transportation facility is Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, which is an international airport serving both Nice and nearby Monaco. It’s a major hub for Air France, connecting the beautiful Cote d'Azur and French Riviera with cities across North America and Europe.
Because you can pop into Old Town from the airport, sightseeing is pretty easy on travel days. If you need luggage storage in Nice, Bounce is by far the most convenient solution. Here’s everything you need to know
