Best way to get from Airport to Centre

Hi





I am coming to Nice for one day, Is there a bus that goes from the airport to the main tourist parts?





How much is this?





Many thanks

Yes





Its called the %26quot;Airport Express%26quot;, routes 98 and 99 from both T1 and T2, respectively to the Nice Bus station via the sea front, and the main railway station Nice Ville SNCF.





Four euro a ticket, which also acts as a day pass on the local Lignes d%26#39;Azur buses and the tram.





Pay the driver as you board.

The 98 is preferable as the bus station is on the edge of the old town, by far the most interesting part of Nice.




|||



The 98 goes along the seafront to the bus station, the 99 turns inland after a while and goes to the railway station, so the 98 is probably better. 4 euros for a day pass (includes the single fare), but if you%26#39;re a cheapskate you can catch the bus 23 for a flat 1 euro although it%26#39;s slower and may not have much luggage space.

For us staying in Rue DE CONGRES, at Nice Garden Hotel which is the better bus to get?





Merci.

You want the 98 (Nice direct via promenade). Rue de Congress is the last stop along the sea front before the 98 turns inland to reach the bus station. The names of the stops are on the bus shelters, its called %26quot;Congress%26quot; and its shortly after the landmark Negresco hotel just as you approach the art deco facade of the Palais de Mediterrannee.

Thank-you for your prompt reply.
