I can't remember the particulars, but I think it took me about 12 hours to travel to Rome from Nice by train. The train ride was quite pleasant but factor in a day of travel if you plan on using this route. If you can afford it and are short on time, I would say the plane would be more convenient. <BR><BR>Also, I bought my ticket at the train station in Nice the day before my departure and it took me about 2 hours to stand in line to get it. Of course there are ticket machines everywhere but they are in French and for some reason wouldn't give me the seat I was looking for, while I got it when I purchased it in person from the counter.

Nine hours and 35 minutes, overnight (even though this would not be my choice), departing 23:15 arriving 9:50 am.<BR><BR>Or consider these solutions which would save some time, for not much more money:<BR><BR>Rome-Brussels-Nice on virgin-express.com for 91-101 euro, departing 10:00, arriving 14:50, for example.<BR><BR>Even cheaper still is Rome (Ciampino) to London (Stansted) on Ryanair.com - - dep 14:50, arr 16:30 - - then connect to Easyjet.com departing Stansted 17:40, arriving Nice 20:50 - - total 32.56 + 42.05 euro<BR><BR>Perhaps preferable for those who don't want 13 hours (day) on the train - - or who do not relish the idea of sleeping on a train.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

I wish to apologize for not thanking you all for your advice. There is a fair chance that we will stop for a couple of days at Florence en route. If not, then we will probably take your wise advice and fly.
