Nice to Monte Carlo

[saraNOVA]

We're docking in Nice on our cruise this May (May 26) and were debating taking the cruise-sponsored tour to Cannes or doing our own tour of Monte Carlo. We are more interested in seeing Monte Carlo, but are nervous about how easy it will be to navigate getting to Monte Carlo and back by train. Our ship is docked 7am - 6pm. Does anyone know if trains or busses run frequently between Nice and Monte Carlo and how easy it will be to get back and forth between the two cities?

hello

 

be careful you will have Grand prix of Monaco at this time : 24 until 27 of May

very busy , crowdy and noisy too lolol!!!some of the streets are going to be closed too even shops not easy to walk to a point for another

don't take the buses if you get there

because the traffic can be low and disturbed :)

We took the train from Villefranche to Monaco in 2008 and it took 15 minutes. It should take about 30 minutes from Nice. Just google the train station closest to where you'll be docked. The train station to the Palace is a short enjoyable walk with lots to see. It was our first visit and we had no problems getting there. Get to the Palace before noon to see the changing of the guards.
