Just under four miles southwest of the French city of Nice is the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the third busiest airport in France and the gateway to and from the French Riviera. 

Its location makes it a hugely popular journey point with tourists visiting the glamorous south of France, while business travellers can link on to the Principality of Monaco by helicopter, making it a key business transport hub. 

Passengers flying from Nice with Qatar Airways will be delighted by the efficiency and flawless operation of the airport, staffed by attentive and welcoming personnel who go out of their way to make the start of your journey pleasant and stress-free. The airport covers 1.43 sq miles, with the two terminals linked by courtesy shuttle buses.

Transportation and parking

The fastest way to get from the centre of Nice to the airport is by SNCF rail, which runs trains directly to Terminal 1. An airport bus connects from the station to Terminal 2. Bus routes 99 and 98 run regularly between the city centre and the airport, and take around 25 minutes. 

Taxis are plentiful, while travellers connecting from Monaco, Cannes and Saint-Tropez can use one of several helicopter operators to fly direct to the airport. 

Car parking is good, with several indoor and outdoor parking areas providing short, long and intermediate parking options, including pre-paid package deals for regular users. 

Arriving in Nice

Passengers flying from Nice with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 1, which is for international flights to both Schengen and non-Schengen destinations. 

There are 25 gates and numerous check-in booths and desks. Be aware that security in all French airports is exceptionally tight, with very thorough document checks and baggage searches. 

French security has been stepped up, so it is strongly advised to ensure that all your documents are in order before you begin your journey.

Facilities and amenities

Terminal 1 has a large business centre with eight rooms and a conference hall with a capacity of 250 people. Banking and currency exchange services are located in both terminals, as are plenty of ATMs. 

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the airport, and there are also several fixed internet stations. 

A good selection of restaurants, cafés and fast food outlets provide beverages and meals, while a retail mall with gift shops, Duty Free and regional speciality sellers is located in the main hall. 

A number of hotels are also located on-site, particularly useful for passengers who have early morning flights booked.

If you pause for a while and explore Denpasar you’ll discover an authentic glimpse of life in Bali away from the usual tourist resorts and hotels, and an incredibly warm and friendly welcome from its people.

Tourist attractions

At the very centre of the city (quite literally) is the Alun-Alun Puputan square, with its huge, four-faced statue, which is supposed to defend the four cardinal points of the compass. It’s also an incredibly useful landmark if you get lost at any time.

To find out more about the history and culture of the island and its people a visit to the Bali Museum is highly recommended. It is spread across four pavilions, with the main pavilion housing a collection of ancient stone, bronze and wooden artefacts.

The southern pavilion has exhibitions of the country’s textiles, while the northern pavilion focuses on the history of Balinese performance art. The central pavilion is devoted to Balinese spirituality.

The Lapangan Puputan Margarana park is a large open space in the heart of the city. You can’t miss the huge Bajra Sandhi monument, which dominates the park.

Bali’s capital is also full of temples that are exquisitely decorated, including the Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples, and the beautiful Pura Maospahit, which is believed to date back to the 14th century.
