Location
There are several ways to go to Monaco from the nearest airport in Nice:
- Taking a taxi from the airport to Monaco will take about 30 minutes and cost around 65-100 EUR
- The bus 110 Menton-Nice Airport Express takes 1 hour and costs 22 EUR (one-way trip). Place d’Armes is the closest stop to the University (5 minutes by foot).
- Taking Uber may be less expensive than taking a regular taxi.
- From the airport’s Terminal 1, take the tram L2 to Grand Arénas in the direction of Port Lympia. Walk to the Nice Saint-Augustin train station, from which you can take a train to Monaco-Monte Carlo. The journey will take approximately 1-1.5 hours and will cost between 8 and 10 EUR.
In Monaco, a local bus network allows its passengers to reach almost any location in a short time during the day. An ordinary bus fare is 1.5 EUR, and 2 EUR if you buy ticket on board. All buses run until 9.30 pm, then you can take a night bus that goes every hour through the whole Monaco.
