When the Nice Rail Station was first erected, it was decided to built it far from the city center of Nice, but due to modernization, the population around the vicinity of the Nice Rail Station grew until such time that the station already became a part of the city center. Now, it is one of the primary gateways into the City of Nice. The wonderful thing about the Nice Rail Station is that it has retained its original condition and still has its balconies that are lavishly decorated as well as the grand clock even though the inside of the station is very state of the art to cope up with the modern times.

Nice Rail Station connects Nice to different cities such as Grace and Lyon. It also links Nice to Cannes and Marseille as well as Paris. The Nice Rail Station also transports passengers to Toulon and Menton and VentimigliaVintimille. Because of the influx of passengers using the station yearly, you will find that there is a wi-fi Internet connection here as well as numerous telephone booths for the passengers use. Likewise, car hire desks can also be found here. You can have your car hire at the Nice Rail Station from Avis and Hertz, both of which provides cheap car hire.
