Nice Airport
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.
