Monte-Carlo Travel Forum

Hi guys,

My boyfriend and I would like to take a one way helicopter transfer from Monte Carlo to Nice Airport in August. The cost per person on the Heli Air Monaco website is €99.00 per person. However, some other websites quote €69.00 as a guide.

Any suggestions on how to book the cheapest option? I don't want to leave it until I'm in Monte Carlo as last time I was there it was fully booked.

Thanks in advance!

Hayley :)

Hi everyone

We are staying in Nice, by coincidence at same time as Monaco Grand Prix.
We want to spend a day in Monte Carlo,by public transport, visiting Oceanarium etc, and thought it would be fun, never having seen a Grand Prix before to visit on the Thursday, the practice day, just to get a flavour of it, before all the crowds arrive.
Is this a good idea, if so, how best to see what's going on at minimal expense, eg which hotel to lunch at, and should we book? Or should we make sure to visit Monte Carlo earlier in the week, and skip any idea of the Grand Prix?

MERCI!

I am backpacking around Europe and will be in Monte Carlo for a couple of nights and want to visit the famous Casino.

I have been doing some research and most people say to enter the "main" casino, you need to be wearing formal clothing.

I don't want to have to lug a paid of dress shoes around for 6 weeks when I am only going to wear them once...

So my question is:

Will I get into the main part of the Casino wearing:

Suit Jacket
Shirt
Tie
Jeans
Semi casual shoes


Help!!!!!

how easy is it to take public transportation from
Nice cruise terminal for celebrity cruises to monte carlo and monaco?
How much does it cost and what is the timing?

My husband and I are staying in Monte Carlo for 3 nights and 2 full days. We want to explore the coast (Cannes, Nice, Eze, Menton) and have been told by friends to rent a car vs taking trains, etc. We are flying in to Nice airport around 9pm and were going to rent a car at the airport and drive to Monte Carlo so that we have the car for the next 2 days of our trip. Is it safe to drive from the airport to Monte Carlo at night? Also, our flight out is at 7:45am and we were debating whether or not to return the car to the airport that morning or drop it in Monte Carlo the day before? Is the Nice airport really busy where it would take alot of time to drop the car off----woud it be better to take a taxi back? Thanks!

I'll be taking a train to Monte Carlo and I would like to know how to get from the train station to "touristy" sites. Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know if taxis or shuttle buses are available to drive from the port, Villefranche to the Grand Casino? We are taking the Disney cruise ship in July and Disney wants $100 per person to drive to and from the casino for an evening of gambling. This seemed kind of high. It is a 45 minute drive each way so I was wondering if anyone knows of any other methods to get to the Grand Casino that would cost less. Thanks

Hi all,
We are spending 1 night in Monte Carlo next June, but it's gonna be Sunday and most places are closed :(

Anyone can recommend a good place (and not extremely expensive) to have dinner on Sunday night? We are staying in Port Palace Hotel, but the restaurant in the hotel is a bit too expensive for our budget..
Thanks!

This year my family are travelling on 26-Dec. to spend 10 days over the New Year holiday period in Monaco.

We have been here before and done the Palace, Casino, Jardin Exotique, etc.

Are cruise ship docks in Cannes and we're planning to take the train to Monte Carlo. Can anyone suggest a few hours' (that's all we have!) looking around town,train station onwards. I'd love to go down the Grand Prix track. Do we need a certain bus for that?
Thanks

I am taking a cruise which docks at Villefrance for 1 day.
I would like to go and see the main attractions in Monte-Carlo, but cant decide whether to do an organised trip or get a taxi to Monte-Carlo myself.
Does anybody have any idea on how much a taxi would cost and what is the journey time?

Thank you

We are on a ship that will dock in MonteCarlo in June. We have 6 days and a car to make our way to Milan for our flight home. We will have visited Portofino and St. Tropez on the ship. Any advice on how to spend our time?

Hi! I am lucky enough to be coming out in a few weeks to Monte Carlo for business. I will have 2 days off to explore. What is feasible for me to do/see in 2 days? I will be based in Monte Carlo. I don't want to rent a car so taking the train and bus will be my primary mode of transportation. I wanted to spend 1 day visiting the French Riviera and I wanted to spend 1 day visiting Portofino. Being so close to Italy, I want to be in Italy too! I am less interested in running around all over the place just to "say I was there". I'd rather see some beautiful, charming towns. Any ideas?

Thank you.

my husband and son are going to the grand prix 2004 they are staying in nice and hope to travel to monaco by train. do anybody have any information regarding timetables or the best time train to catch, and how much does it cost to travel and do these trains go quite frequently during this busy time?

Does anyone have any input regarding the Hotel Mirabeau? Is it nice? Is there any reason NOT to stay there?

Also, are children allowed in the casino?

Thanks.

I have heard that there is a dress code for the casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco but I can't get details. Does anyone know specifically what is allowed and what is not. One person told me formal wear was required for certain rooms and that bare shoulders and no open toed shoes are not allowed. This sounds extreme. She has never been there, but says that's what she "heard". Is it true???
