Taking the train from Nice to Rome
There are few things better than taking in the sun, sea and delicious food of the French Riviera, especially when attractions like the Musée Matisse and Nice Castle are ready to be explored once you’ve topped up your tan, but adding a train trip to Rome? Yeah, that’s up there. So, make your French Fantasy an Italian escape by boarding an SNCF, Thello or Trenitalia train, all offering a modern and comfortable passage from one sleek European city to another, not a traffic jam or stressful airport transfer in sight.
So, from a morning walk to the Promenade des Anglais you can be in Rome in time for an evening under the shadow of the Colosseum, or the Roman Forum if you prefer.
Rome might not have the sparkling blue ocean views of Nice, but it does have stunning views over the city that perfectly displays the modern and ancient history that makes the capital so unique. Take it all in at the Orange Gardens on the Aventine hill, maybe with a gelato in hand? A delectable duo, head to France and Italy, just cast your eyes down this for more details and book your train tickets from Nice to Rome with us.

Cheap train tickets from Nice to Rome
Book in advance
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 Nice to Rome by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
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.
Choose a slower or connecting train
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!
