Flight Booking Tips for Nice
Avoid Cannes Film Festival Dates
The Cannes Film Festival (usually mid-May) causes prices to spike across the entire Riviera. Book flights and accommodation months ahead for this period, or avoid it entirely for a quieter, cheaper trip.
Fly Budget for Best UK Fares
easyJet and Ryanair offer the cheapest fares to Nice from the UK. Both operate from multiple UK regional airports, giving good flexibility. Book 6–8 weeks ahead for the best fares.
Nice is a Gateway to the Riviera
Nice Airport is the ideal base for the entire French Riviera — Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Menton, and the Italian Riviera (Sanremo, Ventimiglia) are all within an hour. A week's base here suits multiple excursions.
Consider the Nice City Pass
The Nice City Pass (from €26/day) covers unlimited public transport, museums including Matisse and Chagall, and discounts on excursions. Excellent value for visitors planning to explore widely.
