Taxi Menton — Monaco
From the city of lemons to the Principality, in just 12 minutes
A taxi between Menton and Monaco costs between €20 and €30 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 10 kilometres and a journey time of from 12 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes the lower corniche road, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €40. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The taxi ride from Menton to Monaco is one of the shortest and most charming on the French Riviera. Just 10 kilometres separate the Pearl of France from the Principality, yet these few minutes pack an extraordinary density of Mediterranean scenery. Menton is world-famous for its IGP-certified lemons and the spectacular Lemon Festival each February-March. Its baroque old town, crowned by the Saint-Michel basilica, slopes down to a lively marina. Monaco, meanwhile, concentrates luxury on just 2 km²: the Monte Carlo Casino by Charles Garnier, the Prince's Palace, the Oceanographic Museum perched on cliffs, and the most prestigious Formula 1 circuit in the world. Between them lies Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a medieval village above the cape where Le Corbusier and Eileen Gray left their architectural mark.
