No trip to the French Riviera is complete without visiting Monaco, its palace, its casino, and its exceptional surroundings. Book your private chauffeur from Nice and discover the Principality of Monaco in comfort and style.
Arriving on the French Riviera for a business trip, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, or a stay in a luxury hotel in the Principality? Nice-Cab offers a premium transfer service from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) to Monaco. Skip taxi lines and enjoy a personalized welcome as soon as you land.
From pickup at Terminal 1 or 2, your private chauffeur will drive you east toward the Principality of Monaco.
The route primarily follows the A8 motorway (“La Provençale”), offering glimpses of the Alpes-Maritimes peaks on one side and the shimmering Mediterranean on the other. As you approach your destination, you will descend toward the coastline through a tunnel, revealing a spectacular view of the Rock, Port Hercules, and the iconic skyline of Monte Carlo.
The distance between Nice Airport and Monaco is approximately 25 to 30 kilometers. Early mornings and late afternoons may bring heavier traffic and slightly longer travel times. Upon request and depending on conditions, your chauffeur may take the Moyenne Corniche via the village of Èze for an even more memorable arrival into Monaco.
If you are visiting the French Riviera, the Principality of Monaco is an essential stop not to be missed. Located just east of Nice near the Italian border, this tiny enclave of only 2 square kilometers offers remarkable views over the Mediterranean and a collection of iconic landmarks.
Monaco is also renowned for its luxury lifestyle, high-end shopping, world-famous casinos, and the opportunity to attend the Formula 1 Grand Prix right in the heart of the city.
Strolling along “Le Rocher,” you may encounter members of the international jet set, admire extraordinary luxury cars, and see the yachts of millionaires (perhaps even billionaires) moored in the harbor. Welcome to the realm of the Grimaldi family, who have ruled here for centuries.
“Le Rocher” is both the nickname of the Principality and the historic district perched above the sea. Before reaching its summit and enjoying breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, you will wander through charming streets lined with residences dating from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
The ramparts still stand, bearing witness to past battles. Within this district, you will also find Monaco Cathedral and the Chapel of the Visitation.
No visit to Monaco is complete without passing by the Prince’s Palace, residence of Prince Albert. The Grimaldi family has lived in this magnificent building overlooking the Mediterranean since 1927.
Be sure to check the time of the changing of the Prince’s Guards, this precise ceremony enjoys a reputation comparable to the changing of the guard in London.
The Monte Carlo Casino was designed by Charles Garnier, the French architect behind the Paris Opera House. Built in 1879, this prestigious Belle Époque landmark welcomes players from around the world.
You may try your luck, or simply take the opportunity to admire this grand setting, with its dazzling salons and enchanting opera theater.
Monaco is a compact and densely built city, and its Exotic Garden offers a welcome breath of fresh air. In warm weather, it provides a refreshing escape.
The garden was created by Louis Notari, a remarkably prolific and eclectic figure, engineer, poet, and writer. Monaco owes him, among other achievements, its national anthem, its botanical garden, the Church of the Sacred Heart, major water infrastructure, and significant works along the Moyenne Corniche.
Since 1931, visitors from around the world have flocked to this botanical garden, which features nearly a thousand species of exotic plants from arid climates. Aloes, cacti, and fig trees are among the most notable, alongside many rarer and striking varieties.
The visit concludes with the exploration of a remarkable underground natural cavity known as the Observatory Cave.
If you are in Monaco toward the end of May, do not miss the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Even if motorsport is not your passion, this race is unique as it takes place through the city streets, just steps from Italy, home of the passionate tifosi. The atmosphere is electric yet festive, an experience like no other.
If you have the opportunity, explore the surrounding region of Monaco as well. The landscapes are breathtaking, leaving you with a truly unforgettable image of the French Riviera.
