Nice Airport to Cannes
Take your pick from a hire car, taxi, people carrier, chauffeur driven limousine to a helicopte
r or a power boat - and even a chauffeur driven motorbike. Some hotels have free shuttle buses so check when booking.
There is also the coach, Aéroport Express number 210 - costing 25.50€ return, 15.60€ single - which leaves every half an hour. Tickets can be bought at the office in the bus stations at Terminals 1 and 2. The journey takes about 50 minutes. Be aware the last coach leaves from Terminal 1 at 8pm and five minutes later from Terminal 2.
See 210 bus schedule.
At 20.45 and 21.55 The 200 bus leaves from terminal 1 and takes one hour plus to reach Cannes (1 euro).
For the brave traveller there is a bus, which leaves every half an hour on the main road opposite Terminal 1 (tunnel under the road and turn left, left again up the steps and then right to bus stop) - Ligne 200 - costing just one euro each way, taking up to 1h 50 mins to Cannes.
See N200 night bus.
BY RAIL
One other way is to catch a 23 bus (1€) from terminal one. Two stops later is the St Augustin railway station where you can get a train to Cannes (approx 5€). It can be walked in 15 minutes but not with a heavy suitcase. Or take a taxi to the station.

Cannes travel tip: If driving, there is a quicker way back to the airport from Cannes on the A8 motorway than signposted.
Come off at junction 49 and at the first roundabout take the second exit (underneath the height restrictors). Go through the tunnel to the second roundabout and take the first exit on to the N7. Keep to the right, cross the river and the next exit leads you to the airport.
Choose terminal one or terminal two.
