Prioritize Timing

It's well known that the drive from Saint-Tropez to Nice is beautiful. It's also traffic-prone. You can easily get stuck in traffic for over an hour if you travel during the peak times between 7:30 and 9:30 AM and again between 4:30 and 7:30 PM. Travel outside these hours (but while there's still daylight) to enjoy the vistas.

Train From Saint-Tropez to Nice

The train is a fun and cheap way to travel from Saint-Tropez to Nice. You can still take outstanding photos from your window, but it does require some added hassle.

Since no direct trains are available from Saint-Tropez to Nice, you first must take a bus or taxi to the pretty town of Saint-Raphael. Once you arrive, take a short walk to the train station and board the direct service to Nice-Ville.

If you book your train tickets early, you can expect to pay €6.50 to €10. The entire tour will take around four hours, including the bus transfer.

Relax at Promenade des Anglais

If you need help getting in the vacation spirit, make Promenade des Anglais your first stop. The 4.3-mile-long, palm-lined street promenade runs parallel to the sandy and rocky shores, where locals and tourists come to cool off and savor a picnic on the beach. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can sit and watch the gorgeous sunset.

Climb Castle Hill

Castle Hill is unquestionably the best lookout point in Nice. Standing at over 300 feet, it offers panoramic views of Nice, the surrounding mountains, and the flowing sea.

You can hike or take the elevator up to explore the ancient ruins of Château de Nice and the majestic, man-made waterfall overlooking the cityscape. Once you climb to the top, you can relax with an ice-cold drink at one of the cafes.

Temperatures are warm but not overwhelming, like in July or August. And the water is now warm enough to enjoy a swim, even in the evening.

There are also significantly fewer tourist groups from the end of March to mid-June. You won't need to wait in line for hours at tourist attractions or to get a seat at a popular restaurant. If you're fortunate enough to come on May Day, you can participate in one of the locals' most beloved festivities.
