What the front is like to sleep on
The Promenade des Anglais follows the Baie des Anges for almost 7 km, with the beaches below it and the street numbers rising from the old-town end towards the airport. The Promenade page walks it from west to east. The City counts 14 private beaches along it, where the sunbeds are paid, and the stretches in between are public and free: see Nice beaches.
- The old-town end is within reach of Place Masséna, the Cours Saleya and tram line 1. The Negresco is about 1.0 km from Place Masséna in a straight line.
- The airport end is a tram or bus ride from the centre. Bus 12 runs along the Promenade to Place Masséna, the old town and Place Garibaldi for €1.70, and tram line 2 runs from the airport to Jean Médecin and Port Lympia.
- Works. Eleven months of work on the Mercantour bridge near the airport began on 2 October 2026, with the seaward lanes diverted: it affects cars, taxis and buses to the airport. Evening works on tram lines 2, 3 and B run from 25 October to 3 December 2026. Nice airport to the city has the times.
- The tourist tax is per person per night, by grade: €4.69 in a five-star, €3.48 in a four-star, €2.28 in a three-star and €1.34 in a two-star. Under-18s do not pay, and the hotel collects it with the bill.
