Like other major cities, Nice is a chaotic place to drive. However, with a bit of nerve and experience, there should be no real problems. During the tourist season, parking in the city center may be a bit problematic, so don't be too picky when it comes to parking space, and don't be surprised at what they charge you to park in the city center.
Because Nice is popular among youngsters, the city has many low budget hotels. These hotels are primarily located near train station Gare Nice Ville. In the older part of town, there are fewer hotels. Near the seaside there are lots of hotels, although they tend to be a little more expensive. In Nice, all star classes are represented. If you have a location and quality in mind for your hotel, we recommend you book in advance. There is less need to do so during the off-season, when there is usually plenty of choice.
