Nice is the gateway to the French Riviera, with direct flights from Liverpool Airport. Plan your private airport transfer for your Nice and Côte d'Azur trip.
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and one of the most glamorous and rewarding destinations accessible from Liverpool Airport. Situated on the Côte d'Azur between the Alps and the Mediterranean, Nice combines a beautiful old town, a famous seafront promenade, world-class museums and easy access to some of the most celebrated places on the French and Monégasque coast.
About Nice
Nice is the fifth largest city in France and the most visited destination on the French Riviera. The city has a distinct character that reflects its history — it was part of the Kingdom of Sardinia until 1860, and Italian influences are visible throughout the architecture, cuisine and culture of the old town.
The Vieux-Nice (Old Town) is one of the most beautiful historic centres in France — a dense grid of narrow streets lined with baroque churches, colourful facades in ochre, terracotta and yellow, and a daily market on the Cours Saleya that is one of the finest in the south of France. The Promenade des Anglais, the famous seafront boulevard, stretches for nearly five kilometres along the Baie des Anges, lined with grand hotels, palm trees and the distinctive blue chairs that have become an emblem of the city.
Nice's museums are outstanding. The Musée Matisse, set in a 17th-century Genoese villa in the Cimiez neighbourhood, houses the world's most comprehensive collection of Matisse's work. The Musée Marc Chagall, purpose-built to house the artist's Biblical Message series, is one of the most moving museum experiences in France.
The French Riviera beyond Nice
Nice's greatest asset is its location as a base for the wider Côte d'Azur:
Monaco — the tiny principality is 20 kilometres east of Nice, easily reached by train. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, the Prince's Palace and the Grand Prix circuit are the main draws.
Cannes — 30 kilometres west of Nice, famous for its film festival, the Croisette promenade and the Îles de Lérins offshore.
Antibes and Juan-les-Pins — between Nice and Cannes, with a well-preserved old town, the Picasso Museum and excellent beaches.
Èze — a spectacular perched village above the coast between Nice and Monaco, with views across the Mediterranean.
Menton — on the Italian border, the warmest town on the French Riviera, famous for its lemons and its beautiful gardens.
