Nice & Cannes
A festival town and a promenade city, twenty minutes apart.
Nice and Cannes are treated as one destination here because visitors use them that way: one airport, one coastal railway, two very different centres. Cannes runs on its congress calendar and the Croisette; Nice has the old town, the promenade and the museums. The Lérins islands sit offshore from both.
14.8 million passengers through Nice Côte d’Azur airport; around 3 million visitors to Cannes2024
