Welcome to Nice – a French city that has been a popular travel destination since the 18th century. Take a stroll along Promenade des Anglais - the most well-known seaside promenade that you will find on the Mediterranean. Visit Old Nice, which will leave you breathless whit its narrow streets and some of Nice hippest bars.
It spans from the foot of Castle Hill to Place Massena - the city's main square. There you can admire a grand fountain with an Apollo statue.
You can find taxis in Nice in 2 ways. You can hail one in the street, or you can go to taxi-rank. Did you know that the number of taxis has not been increased since the 1960s? Also, this is the reason why taxis in Nice are pretty expensive and tend to overcharge.

Useful advice: Make sure to agree on the rate before accepting the ride and always check if the taxi is equipped with the taximeter.
When you book a taxi, a driver will start charging for the ride from the moment he has left to pick you up. That means, the taximeter will start running before you even get into the car. To avoid any additional costs and being overcharged, then Connecto transfer is your best choice. The rate that you receive is fixed which means that there are no hidden costs such as parking fee or night/holiday ride fee.
