====Port====
[[File:Hafen von Nizza.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Port of Nice]]
The main port of Nice is also known as Lympia port. This name comes from the Lympia spring which fed a small lake in a marshy zone where work on the port was started in 1745.{{Citation needed|date=May 2019}} Today this is the principal harbour installation of Nice – there is also a small port in the Carras district. The port is the first port cement manufacturer in France, linked to the treatment plants of the rollers of the valley of Paillon. Fishing activities remain but the number of professional fishermen is now less than 10.{{Citation needed|date=January 2020}} Nice, being the point of continental France nearest to [[Corsica]], has ferry connections with the island developed with the arrival of NGV (''navires à grande vitesse'') or [[high-speed craft]]. The connections are provided by [[Corsica Ferries - Sardinia Ferries]]. Located in front of the port, the Place Cassini has been renamed Place of Corsica.

====Airport====

[[Nice Côte d'Azur Airport]] is the third busiest airport in France after [[Charles de Gaulle Airport]] and [[Orly Airport]], both near Paris. It is on the [[Promenade des Anglais]], near l'Arénas and has two [[Airport terminal|terminals]]. Due to its proximity to the Principality of [[Monaco]], it also serves as that city–state's airport. A helicopter service provided by [[Heli Air Monaco]] and [[Monacair]] links the city and airport. It is run by the ACA (Aéroports Côte d'Azur), which includes [[Cannes - Mandelieu Airport]] and [[La Môle – Saint-Tropez Airport]]. Public transportation into the city proper is serviced by the [[Nice tramway|Tramway]] line 2 (T2).

====Rail====

The main railway station is [[Gare de Nice-Ville|Nice-Ville]], served both by high-speed [[TGV]] trains connecting Paris and Nice in less than 6 hours and by local commuter [[TER Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur|TER]] services. [[Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles|Marseille]] is reached in 2.5 hours. Nice also has international connections to Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and Russia.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11400917|title=French Riviera train for Russia|work=BBC News|date=23 September 2010|access-date=24 September 2010|archive-date=24 September 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100924045744/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11400917|url-status=live}}</ref> Nice is also served by several suburban stations including [[Gare de Nice-Saint-Augustin|Nice St-Augustin]], Nice St-Roch, Nice Pont-Michel and [[Gare de Nice-Riquier|Nice Riquier]].

Nice is also the southern terminus of the independently run [[Chemins de Fer de Provence]] railway line which connects the city with [[Digne]] in approximately 4 hours from the [[Nice CP station]]. A metro-like suburban service is also provided on the southern part of the line.

====Tram====
[[Trams in Nice|Tramway de Nice]] began operating horse-drawn trams in 1879. Electrified in 1900, the combined length of the network reached {{convert|144|km|mi|frac=2|abbr=on}} by 1930. The replacement of trams with [[trolleybus]]es began in 1948 and was completed in 1953.

In 2007, the [[Nice tramway|new Tramway de Nice]] linked the northern and eastern suburbs via the city centre. Two other lines are currently operating. The second line runs east–west from [[Avenue Jean Médecin|Jean Médecin]] to the [[Nice Côte d'Azur Airport]] and reaches the Port, while the third line provides a connection to the future TGV Nice Saint-Augustin and to Lingostière railway station.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tramway.nice.fr/La-ligne-1/Dates-et-chiffres-cles |title=Dates et chiffres clés / La ligne 1 / Accueil – Tramway de la Communauté Urbaine Nice Côte d'Azur |language=fr |publisher=Tramway.nice.fr |access-date=15 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110906064924/http://tramway.nice.fr/La-ligne-1/Dates-et-chiffres-cles |archive-date=6 September 2011 }}</ref> A fourth line is set to run from the future TGV Nice Saint-Augustin to [[Cagnes-sur-Mer]].
