Monaco is considered one of the safest countries in Europe. It has a high ratio of police officers to civilians, which contributes to an incredibly low crime rate within the country. However, thefts have occurred on trains to and from Monaco and at the Nice airport, particularly at car rental parks, where bags have been stolen while drivers are loading their cars. Police have also issued warnings that counterfeit Euro notes are in circulation. In fact, the most commonly forged bills are €20 and €50. Check that the notes you receive are genuine. Euros are made of 100% cotton fiber and should feel crisp and firm. Fakes often feel waxy and limp. Genuine bills also have raised areas, and the value area on each should feel thicker than the rest of the note.

Street crime within Monaco is rare, but you should take sensible precautions to safeguard your passport and valuables—especially if you are traveling outside of Monaco to neighboring European countries. Both Italy and France report high incidents of pick-pocketing, and you should be careful never to leave your bags or belongings unattended. Avoid traveling alone or at night in unfamiliar areas. Be aware of local scams and protect yourself from crimes often targeted toward tourists by not drawing attention to yourself.

Monaco in May is relatively cool with above average humidity. Temperatures range from 59°F (15°C) to 66°F (19°C).

Suggestions include casual cotton clothing with a jacket or sweater for air-conditioned locales or cooler evenings. Comfortable shoes are always suggested for touring. Please note that Europeans tend to dress up in the evenings. You may wish to bring dressier clothes for evening functions.

Most carriers charge a fee for checked luggage. Please check with your airline for current fees. Baggage allowance and costs vary by destination and fare type. Your carry-on must be able to fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.

Your checked bags will be inaccessible or may become lost during the trip.

For an up-to-date list of items banned from carry-on luggage please check the current government regulations that apply to you.

It is best to bring multiple forms of payment. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere and will give you the best possible exchange rate. They are also a great way to track travel expenses. For smaller expenses, you may wish to obtain a modest amount of local currency. Using your debit card at an ATM will be more cost-effective than using a Currency Exchange booth. Please note that in Monaco their currency is Euros.

The following credit cards are accepted by both the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel and the Fairmont Monte-Carlo:

• Visa
• American Express
• MasterCard
• JCB
• Union Pay (can only be used at check-out, not as a form of pre-authorization)

Because unforeseen circumstances may arise, we recommend that you purchase travel insurance to protect any personal travel arrangements you may make or medical situations your health insurance may not cover while traveling abroad. We suggest you consult your insurance provider to determine what coverage you have outside of your country. Please check what travel insurance options are offered within your home country.

Please reconfirm your itinerary prior to leaving for the airport, as schedule changes and flight delays are common. You can also download the airline’s mobile app to access your boarding pass and view flight changes/updates.

For international flights, the standard recommendation is three hours prior to departure. However, recommended arrival times vary by airport and may be longer, so it’s best to check the airport website. This time accounts for parking, shuttles, check-in/baggage drop-off, security screening, and arriving at your departure gate no later than 30 minutes prior to your scheduled flight departure time.

At the check-in counter or kiosks, you’ll be asked to present your identification and check your luggage (if any). If you are checking luggage, please verify it is checked through to your final destination (NCE). Keep in mind gate assignments can change, so keep an eye on the airport monitors for flight updates.

Most airlines close the boarding doors 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time to allow time to complete final paperwork and baggage loading. Whenever possible, passengers should be at the assigned departure gate no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights. For international flights, passengers should arrive 45 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time because gate agents will need to re-verify passports prior to boarding. Please check with the airline carrier, for their specific recommended gate time frames.

Boarding typically begins 20-30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and 45-60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for international flights. Depending on the connection airport, connecting flights may only allow as little as 30 minutes between when the first flight arrives and the second flight departs. It is imperative that you get to your next gate as quickly as possible, and if needed, find a restroom within the vicinity of your next gate or use a lavatory onboard your next flight. Please check with the airline carrier, for their specific recommended boarding time frames.
