Private jet to Nice

Nice brings together a Mediterranean seafront, a lively old town and access to the wider French Riviera, making it more than an airport gateway.

Where to land for Nice

Nice Côte d'Azur is the main jet gateway for a stay in Nice and has a business-aviation terminal. Cannes–Mandelieu is a regional alternative farther west, with its own aircraft restrictions; it should be assessed against the complete itinerary.

What to do in Nice

Walk the Promenade des Anglais for a first view of the Bay of Angels, then explore Vieux Nice and the Cours Saleya area. Castle Hill offers another perspective on the city. Nice also makes a useful base for Riviera excursions, but keep separate time for the city's own streets, museums and seafront.
