Nice tramway, Tram system in Nice, France
The Nice tramway network connects the city across multiple lines serving residential neighborhoods, the airport, and the port. The system operates daily and provides reliable transportation through various parts of town.
The first tramway in Nice opened in 1879 and shaped city transport for decades. The modern network was planned after 1998 and began operating in 2007 to reconnect the city.
The stations display art installations and local design elements that reflect the coastal architecture of the French Riviera. You notice how well these modern stops blend into the city's appearance and character.
Trams run frequently throughout the day with digital display boards at all stations showing arrival times. It's easy to see where to exit since stations are clearly marked.
One line uses solar power with charging stations at certain stops, eliminating the need for overhead wires in those sections. This makes it an example of eco-friendly city transport.
