Flights to Nice

A flight from London Heathrow or London Gatwick to Nice Airport takes just over two hours.

Spring and summer are the most popular times of the year to visit the city, so book your flights in the autumn or winter to save but still enjoy sunny, mild weather.

You can make a trip to Nice fit any budget. The city is very walkable, so you can admire the beautiful architecture of the Old Town by foot. Explore the local markets and bakeries for budget-friendly eats or to enjoy a picnic on the beach. Some of the city’s best attractions are free, like the Promenade des Anglais and Castle Hill. You can also use the affordable public transport network to visit nearby towns.

Once you land in Nice Airport, you’re a 15-minute drive from the city centre. You can catch a taxi from outside the terminal building or hop on a tram to take you to your destination. Once you’ve arrived, you can explore city centre on foot, or you rent bikes or use the local buses and trams to navigate the area.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what France has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

There’s so much to see and do in Nice. From spending the day on the beach with a cold drink in hand to visiting the picturesque Colline du Chateau waterfall, there are plenty of opportunities for relaxing on your holiday. For sightseeing, Nice’s Russian Cathedral – with its glistening onion domes and ornate interior – is a must. As is the Palais Lascaris, a beautifully restored Baroque palace, where you can see period furniture, art and musical instruments.
