Cheap flights to Nice

Every year travellers in their millions book flights to Nice: the centre of the glamorous French Riviera. Many stay a day or two in the town, before heading on to more chichi locations such as St Tropez or Cannes, though plenty spend their whole holiday here. And there is much to see in the town. On arrival from Nice flights, tourists can take their pick of sunbathing or sightseeing. There are a number of beaches extending out along the bay. Some are private – you must be staying in the attendant hotel to enter – but many are public. Arrive early to get a good spot and watch the world set up camp in the sand around. In the town itself are art museums, Roman remains, a popular flower market and a host of good restaurants. For those arriving from cheap Nice flights to move on to the surrounding resorts in the Cote d'Azur, onward transport is easy. Trains run direct to Cannes and buses to St Tropez. One of the most enjoyable ways of travelling, however, is on the ferry service across the glittering Mediterranean Sea.
