How to get from the airport to the city centre?
CDG Paris Airport:
There are a few methods to get to the city centre from the airport after your flights to France. The quickest option is the train. From the baggage collection area simply follow the signs to the railway station. Once you arrive at the station you will need to purchase your ticket, the price of which will vary depending on where you are ultimately going. For example a general ticket to the city will cost less than a special ticket that allows you to get to Disneyland. The Roissybus is another option you can choose and is one of the more popular bus choices to get into the city. The bus is very regular, running around every 15 minutes and goes directly to the centre. There are other buses available too which are cheaper but take longer to complete their journey. Lastly you could just opt for a taxi but you will pay through the teeth for it. Make sure you agree on a fee beforehand. If there are a few of you to split the fare you might find a taxi good value, otherwise try to avoid them unless you have too.
Nice Airport:
There are two buses that go directly to the city from the airport meaning getting to the centre is relatively easy. When on the bus you’ll need to make sure to press the stop button otherwise the driver will just continue onwards, although there are signs to inform me of the upcoming stop. If you’d rather not get a bus or if you have lots of luggage then you can jump into a taxi. They are a lot more expensive though and make sure you agree on a fee before getting in and even insist on a receipt. Even the locals in Nice don’t like using taxis as they are known for overcharging.
