About Nice
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and the fifth-largest city in France. With its stunning Baie des Anges coastline, Italianate old town, world-class museums, and legendary Promenade des Anglais, it is one of the most visited cities on the Mediterranean.
Port Lympia, where your boat taxi arrives, sits at the eastern edge of the old town. From the quay, it is a five-minute walk to the winding streets of Vieux-Nice, the Cours Saleya market, and the restaurants of Place Rossetti.
Nice is also the gateway to the rest of the Riviera — the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (10 minutes from the port) connects to all major European cities. Many visitors combine a boat taxi transfer with their flight, avoiding the notorious A8 motorway traffic entirely.
