Privater Autotransfer von Genoa nach Nice

Afterward, you can journey to Apricale, where the town hugs the knife edge of a cliffside and is linked by tunnels, terraces, alleyways, and bridges. Or why not explore Dolceacqua with its ancient castle, serene river, and quaint houses? Regardless of where you choose to explore, whether you go to any of these places or others found along the way, Daytrip can help make your trip to Nice remarkable and exciting.

From its founding, Nice was a remarkable destination, so it's not hard to see why its settlers wanted to call it home. It's also easy to see why the Romans grabbed it when they conquered it during the 1st century CE. After this conquest, it flourished until it became one of the world's busiest trading stations.

Centuries later—the 10th century, to be exact—the Counts of Provence held Nice until they passed it to the Counts of Savoy in 1388. The Counts of Savoy were the rulers of Nice until 1860 when Nice experienced turbulence and the French captured and occupied it. After a time, it officially became a part of the French nation.

However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that Nice became truly popular, attracting poets, artists, musicians, writers, sculptures, composers, aristocrats, and European leaders alike. And the rest, as they would say, is history. Nowadays you can enjoy the mark of the people before you have left the city and leave one of your own.

So be sure to explore your heart's content through the city beaches, museums, galleries, restaurants, churches, wineries, and bars, as you never know what you’ll find or where you’ll learn something new.

Plan ahead to prevent missing out on events

Depending on when you plan to visit Nice, you might encounter several events in towns and cities along the way. From markets and open-air concerts to festivals and cultural events, there is always something to see.

However, if you don’t plan carefully, you could miss a few must-see events during your trip, like the Monaco Grand Prix. There are also several events in Nice you won't want to miss, so plan your time carefully, especially if you plan on visiting the Nice Jazz Festival or the Carnaval de Nice in February.

Remember to dress up and not down

For the most part, Nice is laid back, and so are many of the places you’ll visit along the way, but if you plan on having a meal at a fine dining establishment or restaurant, you need to dress up and not down.

Even if the restaurant is only a mid-range one, you should dress up and wear something smart because not only will you stand out if you don't, but you might also be denied access, which can be embarrassing.

On average, a train ticket costs between $22 and $55, and the journey takes about three to four hours. This makes trains slightly more expensive than the bus but faster than it, so they're a popular choice among travelers.

Additionally, if you take the train, you’ll need to navigate station transfers, and there might be unexpected changes to the travel schedule, which can be challenging to work within based on your time constraints.

From Genoa to Nice by bus

Bus travel is cheap, so it's popular among those with a tight budget. If you take the bus, you’ll have more money to spend on other things in Nice when you get there. However, bus travel does have its drawbacks.

Firstly, it can be uncomfortable, especially if you do not like traveling with strangers in close quarters. Secondly, it can limit how much luggage you can take with you. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, traveling by bus is slow.

If you travel with a bus line like Eurolines or Flixbus, your trip will be three and a half to five hours long. So, you’ll need to weigh these drawbacks and determine if the cheaper pricing of $17 to $33 per ticket is worth it.

From Genoa to Nice by private car transfer

Those who want convenience, cost-effectiveness, safety, reliability, and comfort usually travel by private car transfer. Although a Genoa to Nice transfer by door-to-door service can be expensive, if you travel with Daytrip, it won’t put a sizable dent in your pocket.

Daytrip offers all these benefits and more, including luggage handling and a private driver who knows the route and can accommodate your sightseeing requests. On average, traveling with Daytrip along this route costs about $83 per person, and the trip takes about two and a half to three hours. This makes it the fastest way to travel.

If you value sightseeing, speed, or want to travel privately and comfortably, it's well worth considering.

To give you a point of reference, if you like art by Yves Klein, you’ll find that spending time at this museum is not a hardship. And before you leave, be sure to give the outside of the museum a long look. It's pleasing to the eye with its intriguing architectural design features and rooftop lookout that provides a lovely view of the city.

Promenade des Anglais

Beach strips can feel like a dime a dozen when traveling across Europe, but the Promenade des Anglais is special. This beach strip is where you can soak up the sights and sunlight in Nice, with views of the ocean and surrounding buildings that draw your eye back for a second look.

The promenade is also not very new. It was built in the 1800s and still retains its charm from that period with its pavement and gorgeous chairs where you can sit awhile and reflect on your trip. The promenade is also lined with shops and restaurants, so you can spend a few hours on the beach while enjoying something local to eat.

Palais Lascaris

Even Nice has its palaces, and the Palais Lascaris is one you’ll want to visit on a rainy or sunny day. This palace was built in the 17th century and is one of the most affordable palaces to tour at low ticket prices. But don’t let the low prices fool you.

The interior and exterior are stunning, and they give you a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy during the 17th and 18th centuries when the palace was occupied by aristocrats on holiday. The palace is also located in the Old Town, which means there are several places you can visit after your tour of the Palais Lascaris.
