Reaching Monaco
By air. Nice
Airport is 37 km (22 miles) away. From there, you can reach Monaco by taxi, bus, or
helicopter.
By train. The
SNCF
(French Railways) stops at Monaco on the coastal route between Italy and Marseille. Nice
is the nearest major station. If you're traveling from Paris, you can choose between
high-speed TGV trains to Nice or Marseille, conventional trains, or the overnight vehicle train from Paris Bercy to Nice.
By bus. Nice, Cannes, Menton, and smaller towns in the area offer public bus
service to Monaco. Check the local tourist office or bus stop for a timetable.
By car. Monaco is on the N7 coastal route between Nice and the Italian border,
so it's hard to miss.
