Green Access Guide to the Principality of Monaco
Following the creation of the PNTE, a number of Hotels have committed themselves to working alongside the Principality. As part of the action plan, the government is planning to provide hotels with a guide to the various ways of getting to Monaco from Nice Côte d'Azur airport while emitting as little greenhouse gas (GHG) as possible, using more environmentally-friendly forms of mobility (public transport, electric vehicles - hybrids, etc.).
Several cabs operating outside and within Monaco are hybrids. However, it is not currently possible to book them specifically.
