Arriving by plane

Nice airport has daily flights to most major cities in Europe, as well as New York and Canada, and a number of destinations in North Africa and the Middle East. There are also many flights connecting Paris to Nice in case we did not find a good direct flight. Next we give the links to:

Most airlines use Terminal 1 (the older terminal) while Terminal 2 is used primarily by Air France (and partners) and Easyjet. To go to the city center or to the conference site, the best option is to take tramway line 2 directly from airport Terminal direction 'Port Lympia', then exit at stop 'Jean Médecin' and to take tramway line 1 (5 min walk) direction 'Las Planas' and follow instructions described in the Venue section below. The ticket for the tramway costs 1.5 Euro and can be bought at any tramway stop.

As an alternative, we can also take city bus 12 (ticket 1.5 Euros to be bought on the bus) but it takes about 40 minutes to arrive in proximity of the train station and then there is a 10/15 minutes walk to arrive to the tramway. Buses from the airport start from Terminal 1.

There is a free shuttle from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.

Arriving by train

The train station is ideally located in the city center, with taxi and tram services.
Nice - Paris: 5h36 with TGV (high speed train), Nice - Marseille 2h35, Nice - Monaco Monte Carlo 0h18.
