Port of Nice

Located in the heart of the city, the Port of Nice is situated just 4 miles from the Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport and a few minutes on foot from the city's main tourist attractions. It is the only French port with an NGV (High Speed Ferry) service to Corsica. The island can be reached within 2.5-3 hours, making day trips to Corsica possible; the crossing on traditional ferries otherwise takes between 6 and 8 hours. Two companies provide services to and from the island; these are Corsica Ferries and SNCM Ferryterranée.
