to your actual door.
“Getting to Monaco” is only half an arrival plan. Your useful route ends at the accommodation door, with its luggage, gradients, station exit and race-week road conditions accounted for.
First choose the accommodation town
The right airport route changes at the hotel door.
Monaco · Monte-Carlo, La Condamine, Larvotto
Direct express bus, rail or road
The express bus serves several Monaco districts; rail is frequent but ends at an underground station with four named exits. Heavy luggage makes the final vertical leg decisive.
Monaco · Fontvieille
Helicopter, road or rail
The heliport is in Fontvieille. By rail, use the Fontvieille/Le Rocher exit rather than following the crowd towards Monte-Carlo.
Beausoleil
Rail to Monaco, then climb—or road to the address
Beausoleil is directly above Monaco but not served by Monaco station as a level arrival. Verify the specific uphill route with luggage before choosing rail.
Menton and the eastern rail corridor
Rail east from Nice Saint-Augustin
Join the coastal railway near the airport and travel past Monaco to the accommodation town. This keeps the arrival independent of Monaco road closures.
