TRANSPORTATION AROUND MENTON 

 

AIRPORT

To get from the Nice Airport to Menton, you can either:

  1. Take the train from Nice St. Augustin station to Menton station. It is around a 20 mins walk from the Airport - not far away, but the road is not great for walking with luggage. This is the cheapest option 6,60 euros.
  2. Take the 110 Bus straight to Menton from the airport. It costs around 16,50€ for students. If you are travelling with lots of luggage, we advise you to take the bus for the first time.
  3. Take a cab (or order one on apps such as Uber). Of course, this is the most expensive option, but theeasiest. It will cost between 60€ (uber) and 90€ (black cab). If you are a group of students, you can share a van, it will cost up to 15€ if you are 6 people.
