Travelling by train from Nice Ville station to Florence is certainly a scenic journey, so make sure you enjoy the view. Although there are no direct trains, the fastest option takes just under 7h when travelling via Thello and Italia high-speed trains, making one change in Milan. You could also decide to take the slower sleeper services that operate overnight. Make the most of your travel time with large comfortable seats and food and drink options in the onboard food carriage.
Once you arrive in Florence station, you're just steps away from some of the top sights in the city. A few minutes’ walk and you’ll arrive at the Basilica Santa Maria Novella and minutes later you’ll be marvelling at the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Reaching the city by train certainly puts you in the centre of the action.
