What is the best mode of transportation from Nice, FR to Corniglia, IT?
Train. With minor exceptions, no tourist cars are permitted in the CT. The train journey from the Nice Ville train station will take 6.0-7.0hrs with 2-4 train changes depending on the run. Also, Corniglia is up on a high bluff. So once off of the train, you will most likely need to take the mini-bus up to the town unless you want to walk up the 20 or so switchback sets of stairs (about 400 stairs). We had a very nice lunch at Locando on the square. There's a really nice small restaurant down a side street that I can't recall where we couldn't get in without a reservation. They were booked. It did look good.
