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".

Monte Carlo is what you might call a neighbourhood within the Principality of Monaco. It covers an area that was originally called the Plateau des Spelugues. After Monaco lost Roquebrune and Menton to France in the 19th century, Prince Charles III decided to develop a luxurious resort to attract foreign visitors to spend their money. The Plateau des Spelugues was chosen for the resort and the Casino, Hotel de Paris, and various sumptuous villas and gardens were built there. Its name was changed to Monte Carlo on 1 June 1866.
