    Travelling around Nice in summer can be tiring because of the crowd and noise. Wanna have some quiet time on your own with fewer people? Take a 20-min train to a small town called Villefranche.

    It's a hill-top village with stunning view along the coast. There are some more villages nearby for you to explore if you are not very fond of the noisy crowd. You may find them more fascinating than the busy Nice!

    Check the train schedule at any train station.

    Villefranche is a lovely spot - you can also take a bus there from the Gare Routier (bus station), which is quicker than schlepping up to the train station.

    In summer, avoid taking the 100 in the evening - it's incredibly busy - take the 80 from the Port Santé and walk down through Nice.

    Alternatively, take the 80 bus and enjoy the fabulous vistas from Mont Boron for only €1 each way.
