We get lots of requests for information about Monaco, Monte Carlo and ourselves every day. Unfortunately, we aren't able to reply to every enquiry personally, so we've created this page to hold a list of the most frequently asked questions. Please check this page before contacting us, to see if an answer to your query is already listed.

Q. Can you send me timetables for transport between Nice Airport and Monaco?

A. We've created a page where you'll find links to schedules for public transport services. There's an excellent bus service, but if you arrive at the airport after 21.00, you'll need to use a taxi. An all night service runs on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays only.

Q. Will you invest in me or my company?

Sorry, we're not investors. Try one of the more usual sources such as a bank loan, or capital from an investment company or venture capital company.

Q. What does Monte Carlo mean?

Monte Carlo literally means "Charles Mountain", or "Mount Charles".

After Monaco ceded Roquebrune and Menton to France in the 19th century, most of the Principality's income from lemon cultivation was lost too. The sovereign of the time, Prince Charles III, decided to develop a luxurious resort to attract foreign visitors to spend their money in Monaco, and identified an area called the Plateau des Spelugues for it. The Casino, the Hotel de Paris, and various sumptuous villas and gardens were built on this land, and its name was changed from Spelugues to Monte Carlo on 1 June 1866.
