Helicopter Sightseeing Tours
See the best of Nice and Monaco from the air in a spectacular helicopter flight
Experience the best of Nice and Monaco from the sky with a breathtaking helicopter tour. Monaco, a tiny independent city-state on France’s stunning Mediterranean coastline, is famed for its luxurious casinos, yacht-filled harbor, and the world-renowned Grand Prix, which transforms its streets into a high-speed racing circuit each year. The district of Monte-Carlo boasts an elegant Belle Époque casino, the ornate Salle Garnier opera house, and a wealth of upscale hotels, boutiques, nightclubs, and gourmet restaurants.
Just a short flight away, Nice, the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, stretches along the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a haven for 19th-century European elites, the city has long inspired artists. Visitors can celebrate the work of Henri Matisse at the Musée Matisse or admire the religious masterpieces of Marc Chagall at Musée Marc Chagall.
Flying over the French Riviera, the helicopter tour offers a unique perspective on the glittering coastline, luxurious marinas, and historic architecture. From above, you can take in Nice’s sweeping beaches, the Promenade des Anglais, and the charming old town, as well as Monaco’s dramatic cliffs, densely packed streets, and the opulent harbor filled with yachts. Helicopter companies like Monacair and Héli Air Monaco offer both transfer flights between Nice and Monaco and scenic aerial tours, ranging from short seven-minute flights to longer panoramic experiences. Prices vary depending on flight length and whether the tour is private or shared, and travelers can enjoy a faster, more scenic alternative to road travel while seeing the Riviera from a breathtaking vantage point.
