How much does a trip to Nice, France cost?

• Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €32 - €35. Use the official taxi rank outside the arrivals terminal and agree on the flat rate before departing. Drivers quoting higher prices or offering rides inside the terminal are not licensed.
• Best alternative: Tram line 2 connects the airport terminals to Jean Médecin in the city centre. (€1.70)
• Validate your ticket in the machine on the platform before boarding the tram, or on the bus as you enter. Forgetting to validate is treated the same as travelling without a ticket. Fine without a valid ticket: €80.
• Service is included in restaurant bills. Rounding up or leaving 5 to 10 percent for good service is appreciated but not expected. Taxi drivers and tour guides appreciate a small tip but do not require one.
• Cover charge is not standard in Nice. Most restaurants include service in the price. Be wary of places on the Promenade or Old Town that only show menus in English or without prices; these are more likely to add unexpected charges.
• Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer machines attached to major banks. Independent exchange booths near the Old Town and Promenade tend to offer poor rates; use bank ATMs instead.
