http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593
The cost per journey is a standard fare of 1.30 euros. You can also get a day pass for four euros entitling you to unlimited travel for the day. You can buy tickets at any of the self-service stations where you catch the tram.

The journey from Place Massena to Pont Michel takes approx 16 minutes and there is a tram every four minutes during peak times and every eight minutes off-peak. Trams run from 4 am until 2.30 am the next morning.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15859
Also, if you decide to go to Monaco, or any other city for that fact, please take the train because I took a very scenic six-hour walk there and my feet didn't thank me. Besides, you will see more than I did because I was on a tight schedule, but I still managed to see a reasonable amount.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15859 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14972
So when you've reached the French capital on Eurostar you can get the TGV or SNCF south. It's great fun as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14972 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937
Don't worry about missing the train back, the driver is in there too! It gets back to Nice at 5pm. The scenery is spectacular and the trains and stations enchanting. It's cheap and if you're over 55 or a student (or une famille nombreuse) you will get a big discount.

Go in February when you can leave a spring-like Nice and be in the depths of winter in 30 minutes with giant icicles and snow fields. August is lavender festival time.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13663
Buses are frequent and run to timetables.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8380 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8380 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7389 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7389 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5997
Take the "train des merveilles" to Tende passing across perilous viaducts and through helicoidal tunnels, and visit this very unspoilt village way up in the mountains near the Italian border.

Avoid going to Nice before 2008 - all the main street (Avenue Jean Medecin) and the Place Masséna are in chaos - works for the future tramway - with dust everywhere, traffic problems, uneven footpaths etc.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5997 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5974
I wouldn't recommend taking one of the late-night buses either, as they're pretty frightening too (I used to call it the "bus to hell"). Taxis are very expensive but they're the safest way to go home.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5974 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5924
It has a great feel and there is a brilliant old-fashioned bar at the entrance to the town surrounded by a boules rink.

St Paul de Vence is about 10km (35 mins) away from Nice - you can hire a motorbike and scoot your way west towards Antibe and Cannes - although you turn north before you get there at a place called Cagnes-sur-Mer.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5924 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5923
The seven-day passes are great value and allow journeys to such places as Vence, Eze and some distance inland.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5923 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5921
Either side of the train offers great views.

There are also links to the ski resort of Plan-du-Var.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1867 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1867
