The city of Nice can be reached by bus or train, and by car along either the A8 or the coast road. The city has two halves divided by a strip of parkland which also includes a multi storey car park and the local bus station. The modern, Western half includes many shops and restaurants. The beaches of Nice are covered in large stones and this type of beach continues westwards to Antibes. |
