Getting in Like a Star
MONACAIR operates helicopter services between Nice Airport in France and Monaco. A bird’s eye view of the sapphire coast is definitely a sight to behold. The landing in Monaco is no less spectacular – the Monaco heliport is right at the edge of the water. We also recommend renting a convertible sports car at the Nice Airport itself, and cruising down the most scenic roads to Monaco in true French Riviera style.
