But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Lyon and Nice, you can pay as low as £24 with a Bus from FlixBus.

Travel duration

Here the quicker option is definitely the Carpool from BlaBlaCar: you will get to Nice in just 4h 40m.

Comfort makes all the difference
