Traslado en coche privado de Marseille a Niza

There is no better way to soak in all the views the car trip from Marseille to Nice has to offer than by securing a door-to-door private car service, such as Daytrip. Imagine having someone to take you on a road trip along the beautiful Mediterranean coast without worrying about anything else!

Daytrip is not just a mode of transportation, as your driver will also let you stop at the sightseeing places of your choice. The graceful Aix-en-Provence, the historic Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, and so much more await you!

While you will see many people walking along, something about the promenade radiates calmness, either the tides slowly splashing along the coast, the joggers or leisure walkers passing by, or planes that smoothly glide across the Mediterranean Sea. If you go down the stairs to where the sea stretches along the pebbled coastline, you will find the perfect setting for a romantic evening, as the sun slowly hides behind the horizon.

Nice offers everything for the perfect French Riviera experience. You will be charmed by the history that weaves through its ancient streets and buildings, lovely restaurants and terraces for a sip of French coffee, and locals who speak with a strong Italian-influenced French accent.

Bring your reusable water bottle

There's no need to purchase plastic water bottles when you can easily find free potable water fountains throughout the city, some even offering sparkling water.

Consider getting a public transport pass

Nice can be easily explored by public transport. If you plan to stay in the city for a few days, consider getting one of the contactless cards which will save you time, as you won’t have to buy a separate ticket for each ride. The most convenient card for travelers is La Carte.

• Flixbus: lowest ticket prices starting from just over $13 (€12) | Travel time: around 3 to 3.5 hours.
• ALSA: cheapest tickets starting from almost $29 (€27) | Travel time: 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Make sure you check the official website of each company for the timetable. The buses depart several times a day.

From Marseille to Nice by train

Make sure to review the timetable and prices for each train, as they vary. The least expensive train tickets on the SNCF website start from over $24 (€23).

From Marseille to Nice by private car service

While the options mentioned above might be convenient for budget travelers, a private car service, like Daytrip, will take you to Nice in just 2 hours and 20 minutes. It is also a great option for those who want to explore more of what the charming Azure Coast has to offer. Your English-speaking driver will be happy to share the best insider tips only locals know, thus enhancing your experience.

Daytrip’s priority is your comfort and flexibility. As you hit the road, you will be greeted by the most breathtaking views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. You can not only schedule the trip according to your needs but also make it yours by adding personalized stops as you drive along the coast.

One of the stops you cannot miss is Aix-en-Provence, which is a town steeped in centuries-long history. Stretch your legs and have a walk down its peaceful tree-lined Le Cours Mirabeau boulevard and admire the La Rotonde fountain enriched with impressive sculptures. As you are not behind the wheel, you should definitely add the Sainte Roseline Castle to your itinerary to explore the vineyards and taste their great wine.

Get the best views from the Caste Hill

While the castle no longer exists, La Colline du Château is the perfect place to soak in the best panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. The top of the hill is 92 meters above sea level, so be prepared for some hiking. And you will not only be rewarded by mesmerizing views once you are on the top; the hill is filled with lush gardens and other viewpoints as you make your way up.

Have a taste of the French Riviera

The culinary delights from Nice are known for being healthy and filled with Mediterranean flavors. Here are three dishes that you must try:

• Salade Niçoise: a healthy salad made of cucumbers, eggs, tuna, olives, and vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for the warmer days!
• Socca: a traditional street food. It is a chickpea pancake which is served hot.
• Ratatouille: either a main or side dish that is made of different vegetables such as eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, green peppers, garlic, and olive oil.

Make a day trip to Monaco

While Nice is a city with plenty to offer, it is often a gateway to go on a day trip to nearby Monaco. You can definitely explore the main points of interest in just one day! Several buses (either #600 or 601) depart from Nice to Monaco throughout the day but you can also go with Daytrip. The route is very popular, but if you opt for Daytrip's private car service, you won’t have to worry about not getting a seat.
