The Stade de Nice has approximately 12,000 official parking spaces, with the majority of those available to visitors and members of the public. Public car parking spaces can be found in the following car parks:

• Car Park P1, accessed via Boulevard des Jardiniers - 250 m (3 min) walk
• Car Park P2, accessed via Avenue Pierre de Coubertin (northbound) - 270 m (3 min) walk

Free event day shuttle buses regularly ferry visitors between Car Parks P3, P4, and P5 and the stadium perimeter, before and after events.

Visitors are encouraged to book car parking spaces in advance by contacting the organisers of the event they are attending, however paying upon arrival is also possible, subject to availability.

Whilst there is a very small number of parking spaces for disabled persons in Car Parks P1 and P2, disabled visitors are encouraged to book a space in advance in Car Park P0, which is primarily reserved for business visitors and commercial partners, as well as disabled people. Car Park P0 is located off Rue Jules Bianchi, within the structure of the stadium itself. To pre-book accessible parking places, disabled persons should contact the organiser of the event they are attending.

Those coming by car are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys, as the roads surrounding the stadium can become very busy on event days.

It takes 20-25 minutes to reach the Stade de France from Nice city centre by taxi, and 10 minutes from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. Those coming by taxi are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys, however, as the roads surrounding the stadium can become very busy on event days. 

There is a taxi drop-off point on on the south side of the venue, on Rue Alain Mimoun, close to the roundabout the road shares with Boulevard des Jardiniers. The drop-off point is clearly signposted around the stadium perimeter, though is most easily accessed when travelling eastward along Rue Alain Mimoun.

The following public bus routes stop close to the Stade de Nice:

• 52 - Stade bus stop · 250 m (3 min) walk
• 52 & 69 - Saint-Isidore/Gustave Eiffel bus stop · 500 m (6 min) walk
• 59 & 69 - Saint-Isidore/Mercantour bus stop · 1.4 km (17 min) walk
• 43 - Castel Fabron bus stop · 1.8 km (22 min) walk

All aforementioned bus routes operate daily from early morning until the evening, with the exception of the 43, which only runs until late afternoon.

Tram

On most event days, Line 3 of the Tramway de Nice is specially diverted to provide visitors to the Stade de Nice with an easy journey from Nice city centre. On these days, the tram travels from Chemins de fer de Provence station to Saint-Isidore station, which is located a 750 m (9 min) walk from the stadium. The tram journey takes approximately 10 minutes. To check whether the match day service is running on the day of your event, click here.

Alternatively, for example on non-event days or on event days on which Line 3 is not travelling directly to the stadium from Nice city centre, visitors to the Stade de Nice can take tramway Line 2 from the city centre to Digue des Français, and then take Line 3 from Digue des Français to Saint-Isidore station.

Train

Nice-Ville, the city's primary rail hub, is located on the south side of the city centre. To reach the Stade de Nice from the station, take the train to Nice Saint-Augustin, and then Line 3 of the Tramway de Nice to Saint-Isidore station.

It takes approximately 40 minutes to cycle to the Stade de Nice from central Nice, and just 20 minutes from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. As you approach the stadium there are road-adjacent cycle paths around the venue perimeter, for example along Boulevard des Jardiniers.

There is a free bike parking zone on the north side of the stadium, on Rue Pancho Gonzalez, close to the road's junctions with Boulevard des Jardiniers, Avenue Pierre de Coubertin, and Rue Jules Bianchi. The bike parking area is located a 200 m (2 min) walk from the stadium turnstiles.

Due to the often hot weather which the south coast of France enjoys, bike rides should be undertaken with caution, and with the climate in mind. Routes should be planned in advance, and staying hydrated is recommended.

As the Stade de Nice is located some way outside of the city centre, walking is only truly viable from the small communes and towns in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, such as Cal de Spagnol, Sainte Marguerite, and La Lingostière.
