Nice

Riviera base with rail access along the whole coast.

Travellers come here for food, beaches, slowing down and nightlife.

When to go

Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

The airport is NCE. Nice is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
