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.
