Completed in the year 1867, Nice Train Station (also referred to as Gare de Nice-Ville) plays an important role in transporting tourists from the neighboring counties and other countries including Spain and Italy. Though Nice Train Station has been in existence for ages, various remodeling and modernization have been executed to ensure that the station meets the modern standards. Furthermore, Nice Train Station has undergone rapid expansion to comfortably handle the rising tourist arrivals.
The city of Nice is the second most famous tourist center in France. In addition, it holds the title as the fifth most populous city in the country. If you arrive at Nice Train Station in winter, you will enjoy mild winters compared to the harsh climatic condition in most western countries. In addition, Nice is home to beautiful architectural structures. In all aspects, the city is an extension of Paris, the world most famous tourist center.
The coastline of the city consists of a walkway that was constructed by the early British emigrants to improve its aesthetic beauty. While here, you can have an experience of your lifetime, especially during summers as you observe the beauty of the Mediterranean sea and the reflection of Nice monumental buildings. The most convenient way to travel around is to hire a car. However, for places where the terrain is unforgiving, you can just park the car you rented and proceed with the journey by other means including trams and trains.
Apart from hiring a car, air transport and tram can come in as the next viable options. You should note, however that boarding a plane is more expensive than hiring a car. The major airports available in Nice include Nice Cote d’Azur and Cannes-Mandelieu Airport.
