The easiest way to get to Monaco is by train or bus from France or Italy. There is a helipad used mainly by the rich and famous, but there are no airports in Monaco. However, the nearby Nice Cote d'Azur airport has flights from a number of airlines and bus service directly from the airport to Monte Carlo.

• Star Alliance - Austrian, blue1, LOT, Lufthansa, SAS, Swiss, TAP, Turkish
• Oneworld - British Airways, Finnair, Iberia
• Sky Team - Aeroflot, Air France, Alitalia, Delta, KLM
• Selected other - Emirates, many European low cost carriers

TIP Intra-Europe fares are lowest on routes with competition from low cost carriers.

TIP Check out fares to major nearby hubs that are connected to Monaca by bus &/or train - eg Milan, Lyon, Marseille.
