Getting around like a local: Bike, scooter, boat – A guide by destination

At B’Your Home, we believe that your short- and medium-term stays should be an opportunity to truly live like a local. Discover the everyday means of transport that will help you explore each destination at your own pace and experience life like the locals do.

Paris – By Bike with Vélib’ and electric scooters
Paris is best explored on two wheels, thanks to the Vélib’ Métropole bike system and electric scooters available via apps like Lime, Dott, and Tier. Bike lanes and pedestrian zones make getting around easy and enjoyable.
Tip: Avoid peak hours for a more comfortable ride.

Calabria – Discover by scooter
In Calabria, Italy, the scooter is the preferred mode of transport. Whether you rent a 125cc scooter from local agencies in Tropea or other nearby towns, it’s the best way to cruise along the coast or explore charming hilltop villages.
Tip: Always wear a helmet and make sure your driving license is valid for the scooter size.

Greece – Getting around by boat
On the Greek islands, boats are part of everyday life. Whether it’s short ferry rides or small local shuttles, you can book via platforms like Ferryhopper or directly at the port. It’s the easiest and most authentic way to hop between islands.
Tip: Be early—departures are punctual and don’t wait!

Nice & Cannes – Regional public transport
In the French Riviera, getting around is easy with tramways and Lignes d’Azur buses. These networks serve the city centers and surrounding areas efficiently, making it simple to explore without a car.
Tip: Daily transport passes are great value if you plan to travel multiple times a day.

Nice ↔ Monaco – TER train and bus #600
Heading to Monaco from Nice? You have two excellent options:
The TER regional train (SNCF): Fast and comfortable, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean in under 30 minutes.
Bus #600: A budget-friendly alternative, this scenic bus follows the coast with regular departures.
Tip: Both options are easy to use and don’t require advance booking.
