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.

      How do I find cheap train tickets from Nice to Rome?

      If you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, our Trainline team of experts have put together some tips to help you find cheap tickets. Booking on the day in Europe is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or travel class.

      1. Book in advance

      The price of train tickets from Nice to Rome starts at £43.09§ one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Most train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months ahead of time, so if you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find cheaper tickets.

      2. Be flexible with your travel times

      If you can, consider travelling outside of 'peak hours' (generally between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays) as many train companies increase their ticket prices during these commuter times.

      3. Buy a rail pass

      If you're visiting multiple locations on your trip, buying a rail pass can be cheaper than buying individual tickets. We're official retailers of Interrail Passes that are valid for travel within one country or multiple countries across Europe.

      4. Choose a slower or connecting train

      On some busier routes, you might have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have some extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

      5. Look out for train ticket sales and discounts

      Many train companies in Europe will often run sales on tickets throughout the year or offer discounts to senior/youth/group travellers, so keep an eye out!

      6. Take a night train

      Save on accommodation and use the night to travel by sleeper train to your next destination.

      For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

      §Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
