Getting Here and Around

From Nice's train station, Monaco is serviced by regular trains along the Cannes–Ventimiglia line; from Nice the journey costs €3.90 one-way and takes 20 minutes. A taxi from Nice will cost around €90, depending on the season and the time of day, or save time with Monancair's 7-minute transfer, starting from around €140 one-way (includes shuttle service).

Monaco is a relatively easy place to navigate on foot, but if you're looking for an insider's view, native Jean-Marc Ferrié at Monaco Rando (www.monaco-rando.com) gives guided walking tours in English, from the secrets of the Rock and the Grand Prix Circuit to the four-hour Via Alpina with stunning overviews of the Principality. Prices run €8–€40 per person.
