Final Destination:  Nice

Star Rating: ****

Type of Scenery: Coast

It's worth targeting the first two trains of the day, so that you can complete the journey in daylight.

For most of the journey after Genova the railway line hugs the Mediterranean coastline.

In the video the train is travelling the opposite way from Nice - but in this direction when taking the train from Milano TO Nice, the sea views will be on the left of the train.

All of the images are from the left of the train.

However, the train will reverse direction on departure from Genova.

The railway line has been recently diverted from the most scenic aspect of the Italian coastline, into a new tunnel - but the most spectacular part of the journey is the final 35 mins between Ventimiglia and Nice.
