Take the train from Nice. I took a train at 0911 and it cost just over six euros. The service is quick and comfortable. You're in Monaco in about twenty minutes.There's a good information centre in the railway station. Pick up a guide to tourist sites. They're very helpful and friendly in the info centre.Monaco has a good bus service which takes the huff and puff out of walking around the city. Use it to get between main areas and then walk within those areas.
railway nice-monaco or ventimiglia -monaco but often on strike,because france is the country of strikes;a bus leaves nice every 15 minutes to monaco,it is also possible from mentonby foot,do not walk too fast,or you will leave monaco too soon
We were going to Monaco from Nice. Trains go each 30 minutes so there shouldn't be any probelms with catching them. Going to Monaco is a beautiful experience cause I saw a lot of little village, more or less touristic, on the way. On the picture there's me in the front of Monaco - Monte Carlo train station.
