Getting to and around Monaco

Travelling by train

Regional Express Trains (TER) take you to Nice (France) or Ventimiglia (Italy) in 25 minutes, with a train every 15 minutes on average and a specially enhanced service for the Tour de France:

The SNCF has also introduced special fares for the event in the form of Pass Tour de France 2024, which can be found here: https://www.ter.sncf.com/sud-provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/tarifs-cartes/bons-plans/tour-de-france 

Finally, you can park your vehicle at Saint-Augustin station in Nice, making it easy to get to the Principality for the start of the stage and then watch it arrive in Nice with a return ticket.
