Monte Carlo from Nice
 
Hello,

Is it better to take a helicopter from Nice to Monte Carlo or just get a taxi? I'll be travelling with 2 other adults and a 2yo child.

Thank you.

Well- I would either take the train or rent a car -probably less than taxi and you won;t be so squashed (assume you're traveling with luggage).

The train only takes about 20 minutes from Nice to Monte Carlo, so unless you're trying to escape the paparazzi, I'd do that.

And I'd sure hate to think what a helicopter would cost? Not sure I can count that high. :D

Bus. Really. Cheaper than a helicopter, and it offers a more scenic trip than does the train.

Please take a helicopter as most do and report back....

Thanks everyone. I hadn't heard that there was/is a train. I'll look into that.

My goal is to find the least cumbersome mode of transportation to Monte Carlo.

Thanks again.

Nice and Monte Carlo are on the same commuter train line, just minutes apart.

Please take the helicopter and be the one person at this website who doesn't care how much it costs.

It's an easy train ride.

Helicopter ride from Nice to Monaco takes only 10 min. I think it’s around $200 p.p. If you take taxi, depending on what time of the day you travel, it may take 30min to 1 hour. Cost is around 50 Euro? If taking taxi, you may want to pre-arrange this service.
