The Riviera's best view costs less than the airport shuttle. A 10-minute panoramic flight from the Monaco Heliport takes you over the Rock and Port Hercule, out over Cap Martin and back above the perched villages. Few experiences in Monaco give as much for under €100. This page covers short sightseeing flights. For full days out by helicopter (lunch in Piedmont, a table in Provence), see helicopter day trips and experiences.

Prices are per seat on a shared flight. A private sightseeing flight, with the whole helicopter for your group and your own route and time, is quoted on request by both operators.
Which to choose
- The 10-minute flight is enough for most visitors. You see Monaco from above, the whole eastern Riviera to the Italian border, and the villages you can't easily reach by road.
- The 20-minute flight adds the western headlands: Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche's bay and Èze. It is the better choice if you are staying in Monaco and have already seen the coast from the ground.
- In October 2026, the Pink Ribbon weekend flights give you the short tour and support Pink Ribbon Monaco's breast-cancer awareness work at the same time.
Practical tips
- Arrive 15 minutes early with an original identity document. Operators check it even though there is no border.
- Go early or late in the day. The light is softer and the air is usually calmer than at midday in summer.
- Autumn and spring give the clearest skies. In summer, heat haze often softens the view east towards Italy.
- Weather decides. Flights are postponed in low cloud, poor visibility or strong wind, and the operator will offer another date.
- Photos: you shoot through the windows, so wear dark clothes to cut reflections and switch off the flash.
- Shared flights need a full cabin. If a slot does not fill, you may be offered another time. Booking every seat avoids that.
Booking
- Monacair: online, +377 97 97 39 00, WhatsApp +33 6 14 74 47 20, booking@monacair.mc
- Héli Air Monaco: online, +377 92 050 050, booking@heliairmonaco.com
Booking direct with the operator is simplest. Hotel concierges can also arrange a flight.
