Whether you’re travelling from Florence to Nice as part of a European adventure, or just doing some research about the route – taking the train between these two cities is an eco-friendly and relaxing way to travel.
Whilst flying may be quicker, taking the train allows you to depart from and arrive into both city centres, with plenty of extra luggage allowance, legroom and scenic views of the countryside along the way. And it’s certainly less stressful than driving all that way! Just hop on a high-speed Frecciabianca service in Italy, then swap to a TER regional service once you’re in France, the changes are easy and you get to see much more of Italy and France along the way.
Once you arrive into Nice Ville station, it’s just a 17-minute stroll to the iconic Promenade des Anglais, where you can take in views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Florence to Nice Ville by booking early.§
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
