Since the country Monaco measures only about 2 square kilometers, you can certainly go through the whole country on foot. Only the height differences may make the achievement of the goal on foot a bit difficult. But there is the wonderful solution that in many places, the neighborhoods are connected by public lifts ("Ascenseur public"). So it is not only for all something "comfortable" people beautiful walks, but it is also everything for running restricted people to reach. Exemplary!
But there is also a very well functioning bus network, which over 6 lines all neighborhoods connect. The buses are in very good condition and air conditioned.
In addition, there is the "boat-bus" ("Bateau-Bus"), which crosses the harbor in just a few minutes between the Quai Etas-Unis and Quai Antoine 1er.
Both the bus routes and the boat cost 2, - € per single journey. Of course, there are also monthly and annual passes.
All information can be found at www.cam.mc.
Easier and very clear for everyday life is also the app ("MonacoBus"). To recommend!
An environmentally friendly alternative is offered by a car-sharing system called "Mobee". Here you can book at any time small electric car (for a maximum of 2 people), get in and park in the entire national territory. To do this, you have to register online, activate the account (of course, deposit a credit card) and the app is then quite simply everything on the smartphone (except of course driving itself). Under www.mobee.mc you will find all the information and very important: also the prices.
Hotels in Monaco usually also offer their own free shuttle service, which at certain times drives and picks guests up to their destinations. Times must be requested at the hotel.
Of course, some hotels also offer the option of booking individual trips, which have to be paid extra.
Visiting Monaco with your own car is basically no problem. There are many parking garages available, which are signposted accordingly and also identify vacant seats. In most public parking garages, the first hour is free. The parking garages are ideal for all standard small to mid-size cars. They not only offer space but are also brightly lit and very clean. Only if you drive a slightly larger or longer vehicle, one or the other car park for the rims could be problematic. Since it takes the people behind it a little patience, if you have to go up and down schonmal several times carefully back and forth to get around!
Of course, you can also park on designated areas at the edge of the road mostly for a fee. However, in our experience, only in the early morning or very late evening hours with good luck a free spot.
As already described in another article, Monaco is like other metropolises in the world: sometimes there are so many vehicles on the road that a journey of normally 10 minutes can take up to an hour. Therefore, a day or vacation visit from Monaco is certainly much more relaxed if you use public transport. It is important to know that every 15 minutes every day between 6 am and 9 pm, the line 100 between Nice and Menton crosses Monaco in both directions. In addition, Monaco has its own train station and is therefore connected in all directions France / Italy. You can learn more about this through the website www.visitmonaco.com.
If you come to Nice by plane, you can avoid the traffic on the ground and travel by helicopter. In the district of Fontvieille is the heliport, which can be reached in less than 10 minutes from Nice airport. Monacair offers a regular connection between Monaco and Nice every 15 minutes. The bus transfer to / from the heliport to the destination / destination hotel is included in the price. More information can be found at www.monacair.mc.
