From Livorno to Nice by train
Taking a train is one of the quicker and more straightforward ways to travel from Livorno to Nice. A train trip between the two European cities takes about six hours, and a ticket costs between $28 and $44, so it's also one of the more affordable ways to travel. Sometimes it's even cheaper than the bust! There aren't many train departures daily, so if you want to take a train book with Trenitalia Intercity in advance.
From Livorno to Nice by bus
If you can't book a train, your next best budget option is the bus. A bus trip from Livorno to Nice usually takes eight hours and 30 minutes, with tickets costing between $29 and $65. Trenitalia is the most popular bus line, but budget coach Flixbus also sometimes offers trips between these cities.
From Livorno to Nice by ferry
The ferry is an attractive choice for many who want to travel from Livorno to Nice, but it is the most expensive. This is because there are often no direct ferry trips from one city to the next – unless you're lucky enough to have booked in advance.
Usually, you can only take a ferry as far as Bastia, and then, from Bastia, you can take another ferry to Nice. The Bastia to Nice ferry only runs 3 times a week, so you'll likely need to stay overnight while you wait. Or you can fly to Nice. On average, the entire trip can cost between $124 and $453 and will take at least eight and a half hours. In our opinion, it's not worth it price-wise or time-wise.
