The Port of Nice is one of the key infrastructural hubs of Nice and, in fact, of the entire French Riviera, standing out as one of the main harbors for the boats which sail across the Mediterranean Sea. It accommodates both the ships operated by certain ferry companies and the private yachts of tourists who come to Nice by sea, on their own water craft.

Port de Nice enjoys an approximately central location in Nice, and besides its commercial purposes, it can be deemed a notable leisure site, dotted with several sightseeing opportunities. It is located in the so called Old Nice (Vieux Nice). On land, the port is accessible by road and by train. People who come here by car are also welcome, since the port is able to accommodate some 700 vehicles in its two large car parks (the parking rates vary according to the duration of the parking and to the type of vehicle).

The port is constantly under surveillance (video and security agents). The basic facilities refer to an Internet point, sanitary facilities and to several dryers, just to list a few. Further services (chiefly maritime assistance services) are provided both on request or as part of the routine services delivered by the port authorities. The prices charged for these services depend on several aspects (low or high season, tome of day, the nature of the required service).
