Flights to Monaco

While there are no commercial flights landing directly in Monaco, your luxurious journey to the Principality begins with a flight into its surrounding gateways. The most convenient arrival points are Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) in France, just a 30-minute helicopter transfer or scenic drive away, and Monaco Heliport (MCM) itself, accessible by short, spectacular flights from nearby cities.

Major Airports & Gateways

Monaco does not have a conventional international airport due to its small size.

Nearby International Access: Nice (NCE): Nice Côte d’Azur Airport — located in Nice, France, about 30 km from Monaco, it serves as the primary international gateway for travelers to Monaco, offering extensive regional and intercontinental connections.

Others: MCM (Monaco Heliport) handles helicopter transfers primarily from Nice Airport and nearby destinations; most international travelers fly into Nice (NCE) and transfer to Monaco by road, rail, or helicopter.

Best Time to Fly

The best time to fly to Monaco is from April to October, when the weather is warm, sunny, and ideal for sightseeing along the French Riviera. May to September is especially popular, as it coincides with major events like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht Show, offering a lively atmosphere but higher airfares and hotel prices. For more affordable flights and fewer crowds, the shoulder months of April, May, and October are ideal, with pleasant temperatures and good travel conditions. Winter months from November to March are quieter and often cheaper, though cooler weather and fewer events may limit the overall experience.
