Travelling from Nice to Venice by train
There’s not much that can cheer up a traveller taken from the sun-kissed embrace of the French Riviera, but the most picturesque city in the world and the shining jewel in Italy’s touristic crown is probably a fair contender.
A 7.5-hour direct journey, you’ll speed through the beautiful scenery of France, cross right over the thigh of Italy’s famous boot (which is another excellent reason to make the trip if you ask us) and reach Venice in the comfort that only Thello and SNCF trains can deliver.
Once you get off at Venezia Santa Lucia station, enjoy a pleasant 25-minute walk into the city centre and take in the famous St. Mark’s Basilica, one of the finest examples of the Italo-Byzantine architecture.

Cheap train tickets from Nice to Venice
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 Venice 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!
