Discover Nice
A classic Riviera city with beaches, markets and direct Corsica Ferries departures from Port Lympia
Nice is the French Riviera’s largest city, stretching around the curve of the Baie des Anges beneath hills and a bright Mediterranean sky.
The Promenade des Anglais follows the seafront for kilometres, while Vieux Nice compresses markets, churches, narrow streets and restaurants into a colourful historic quarter.
Castle Hill provides the classic panorama over the old town and coastline. Museums associated with artists including Matisse and Chagall add strong cultural reasons to stay beyond the beach.
Nice is also exceptionally convenient for regional exploration. Frequent trains run along the Riviera toward Monaco, Menton, Cannes and Antibes, making car-free day trips easy.
Corsica Ferries operates from the Port of Nice. Its current 2026 port information lists routes to Corsican ports including Bastia, Ajaccio, Porto-Vecchio and Île-Rousse, plus Porto Torres in Sardinia, with the exact schedule varying by season.

Ferries arriving in Nice
Reaching the harbour and checking in
Nice ferry port is close to the old town and the A8 motorway corridor. Corsica Ferries publishes services from Nice to several Corsican ports and Porto Torres in Sardinia; the exact sailing pattern is seasonal.
Pin the precise ferry terminal before travelling to Nice. Some towns have separate passenger quays, vehicle terminals and excursion-boat landings. The operator’s address on your confirmation is more useful than a town-centre map pin.
For a car journey, leave a margin for the final approach, queueing and check-in. Without a car, confirm the last part of the journey from the railway station or bus stop. A short map distance may involve port roads or areas closed to pedestrians; use a confirmed transfer or walking route.
Keep your booking reference and required documents accessible. If you need step-free boarding, help with luggage or space for a bicycle, arrange it before the day of travel. Small piers and large vehicle terminals can offer very different facilities.
Building Nice into a wider journey
Plan each sea leg as a separate part of the trip. Check the arrival port, transfer distance, vehicle restrictions and the time before the next sailing. A ticket sold by one company or booking provider does not automatically create a protected connection with another.
Check your arrival time against accommodation check-in and the next transport service. If this is an island stay, organise the return ferry before fixing a mainland flight or a long-distance train. The outward and return ports do not have to be the same, but separate tickets can have different conditions.
