Monaco is a destination like no other. Monaco is known for its glamorous lifestyle, including luxury hotels, fast cars, and casinos. The second smallest country in the world, Monaco is located in the heart of the French Riviera and has been ruled by the Grimaldi family since 1297. The country has a Mediterranean climate with 300 days of sun a year, and is home to many museums, spas, and Michelin-starred restaurants. It's the place where the rich and famous come - full of luxurious hotels, resorts and casinos. It could be compared to Las Vegas or Dubai, however, on a much smaller scale - the whole area of Monaco is only 2 square km. #trip #travel #monaco #Holiday

To visit Monaco, I travelled to the city of Nice, 15 kilometres west of this country. If you buy a ticket at the right time, you can get to Nice by train and bus from various European cities such as Milan, Italy (between 20 and 30 euros) and Paris, France (between 25 and 45 euros). There are also flights to Nice from various Schengen countries, operated by Ryanair, Wizz Air and EasyJet, which are sometimes cheaper than buses and trains (because of the flexibility you have in choosing your time and route). The train from Nice airport and the Intercity bus station (next to Terminal 1 of the same airport) to the city centre costs less than 2 euros. As it is much cheaper to stay in Nice than in Monaco, it makes sense to stay in Nice. When I saw that booking a room at the Hotel de Berne for two people was cheaper than the cost of two beds in a hostel (the total cost for two people is 45 euros per night), we chose this hotel to stay (as opposed to my usual practice of staying in a hostel). It should be noted that the published statistics and costs refer to 27 January 2023, and these costs may change (be more or less) in different seasons or in the coming years. At sunrise we went to the Nice-Ville station, just 150 metres from our accommodation, to catch the train to Monaco. A one-way ticket from Nice to Monaco and vice versa costs 4 euros each and departures are from around 6am to 11pm (every half hour). We arrived at Monte Carlo station in about 15 minutes and the sightseeing of Monaco began. Although Monaco was not a common destination for backpackers like us, we did not feel out of place at all. Best places to visit: Monte Carlo Casino, Un Jardin d'acclimatation, Port of Monte Carlo, The Prince's Palace of Monaco, Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Oceanography Museum #backpacker #backpacking #budget_travel #monaco #montecarlo

#timetotravel To my friends and I, the building is iconic because of the movie “Monte Carlo” starring Selena Gomez. We tried to take pictures at every filming location we could find!! The casino of Monte Carlo is really busy and packed with tourists. To enter the casino, there is an entrance fee of €18 and dress code. You also have to bring your passport along. Since none of us really gamble, so we did not bother entering the casino but merely the lobby for pictures. #境外遊 #monaco #montecarlo #casino

#timetotravel To all the Formula 1 fan out there, I would 100% recommend doing a track walk/ drive if you are in the south of France!!!! My friends and I all do not have a license so a track walk it is… Do note that there is a lack of pedestrian space and you might have to walk on the streets for some parts. To non Formula 1 fans, you should still go and visit since Monaco is only a ~30 minutes train ride away from Nice and Monaco has so much to offer apart from F1 related stuff. I have seen the tracks multiple times on TV but I would never have imagined seeing this in real life. 😍😮‼️ I was so excited and was in awe the entire time I was doing the walk!!! Now that I have done the track walk, my goal for myself is to attend a F1 grand prix in Monaco!!! #f1 #grandprix #monaco #frenchriviera

Monaco lies on the coast and is very close to Italy as well as the French city of Nice. To get to Monaco, the easiest way would be to fly into Nice and then take public/private transport to the hotel. Monaco is quite small and allows visitors the chance to have pretty spectacular views of the harbour! There are a number of attractions in Monaco which are quite popular and there are a number of restaurants along the beach! #monaco #mountainview #awesomepic #2023travelwish

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo Go to the Larvotto Beach Larvotto Beach Since we are at the Mediterranean why not go to a beach? This popular, artificial beach features clear waters, a volleyball court & a scenic promenade. Perfect to finish off your day in Monaco. Entrance is free and the water is crystal clear just like in Sharm El Sheikh. Nearby you will see a few restaurants and bars where you can sit and enjoy your favourite adult beverage. Although it's a small beach, it's actually not bad considering the size of Monaco. Even if you don't go swimming or sunbathing, you can visit the beach and have a nice walk around.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #museum Visit the Oceanographic Museum At the end of the Saint Martin Gardens you will be able to see the Oceanographic Museum. From what we read, this is very similar to SEA LIFE London Aquarium and we didn’t feel like visiting on this occasion. If you haven’t been to a place like this before or if you are visiting Monaco with kids, then the Oceanographic Museum might just be the right thing for you. The Oceanographic Museum is a museum of marine sciences in Monaco-Ville, Monaco. This building is part of the Institut océanographique, which is committed to sharing its knowledge of the oceans.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo Saint Martin Gardens As you make your way down, take a moment to enjoy the beautiful Gardens of St Martin and the amazing views towards sea. The Jardin St. Martin are located in the Monaco-Ville ward of Monaco. The gardens are made up of a series of paths on the south west face of the Rock of Monaco. They have an estimated area of 11,200 square meters. Beautiful and peaceful garden, right near the Oceanographic Museum. one interesting attraction is the statue with two heads. Monday 9am–6pm Tuesday 9am–6pm Wednesday 9am–6pm Thursday 9am–6pm Friday 9am–6pm Saturday 9am–6pm Sunday 9am–6pm

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #cathedral The cathedral is right next to the Palace of Justice which boasts an interesting design with white stone. The cathedral itself looks magnificent and overlooks the Gardens of Saint Martin and the Mediterranean. The inside décor of the cathedral is just as impressive and serves as the final resting place for the royal family of Monaco. The bright stained glass alongside the paintings make this cathedral stand out from others you might have seen. It's free to visit and you only need 10-15 mins. We saw the cathedral and sat down for a moment to relax before heading downhill to the harbour.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #oldtown #beautifulday #oldbuildings Explore the Picturesque Old City Walking through the old city centre one can clearly see the Italian heritage of the Grimaldis. Similar to Niçoise architecture you will see a fairly abundant amount of Italian architecture. Again, plenty of restaurants also offering Italian specific cuisine such as pizza or pasta. Overall the aspect looks very colourful and joyful. We explored the area whilst waiting for the change of the guard to start. We even bought a very cheap magnet for only 1.5 euros. A real bargain. For half an hour we even sat down to have a coffee and rest.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #palace Visit the Prince’s Palace of Monaco This is a great opportunity to see the state rooms of the Palace and learn more about the Grimaldi family and their heritage and history. The palace showcases many works of art as well as the Royal Library and Chapel. The visit shouldn’t take longer than 45 minutes so definitely worth your time. To check prices and admission times follow their website. Overall a great visit and would strongly recommend. The price is affordable as well - 10 euros or 5 euros for students .The Palace is beautiful on the inside and worth visiting. Allocate 60-90 minutes

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo This is situated within what it was “Monaco-Ville” area where the seat of government is and the royal residence of the Grimaldi family. This climb isn’t too bad and the views from the top are rewarding. Once you reach the top in the Palace square, there are plenty of viewing points and benches overseeing the Marinas. On top of the mountain you will be able to see several points such as the Palace, Monaco Cathedral or simply enjoy a coffee watching tourists go by. Overall a great trip and would certainly recommend 👌 Be ready for climbing and cardio or use public transport instead

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo Monaco itself isn’t a large city and you could think you may not need public transport. We believe you should consider a day pass at least as you will find yourself out of breath going up and down the mountainous landscape. You can check fares and passes here. Alternatively, you might consider a Hop-on, Hop-off Bus Tour to cover the main attractions. The city itself is split into wards that follow the former administrative segregation up until the 1900s, listed below. By in large you can group your visit as follows: Monaco-Ville, the old city and seat of government of the principality on a rocky promontory extending into the Mediterranean, known as the Rock of Monaco, or simply “The Rock”; Monte Carlo, the principal residential and resort area with the Monte Carlo Casino in the east and northeast; La Condamine, the southwestern section including the port area, Port Hercules.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo During the month of October when we went there, they even had a promotion allowing you to travel for free on public transport in an attempt to encourage more eco friendly travel. You will also notice that Monaco has a few overlapping levels of highways and roads to make use of the restricted space. When looking up directions on your mapping app make sure you thoroughly understand the journey you have to take as you might find yourself being mislead. The local currency is the euro and although not part of the E.U., Monaco has implemented several policies around customs and border control. They are also part of the Schengen area making travel from France seamless.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #casino Although, when we think of Monaco we think of opulence, it hasn’t always been like this. With the opening of the Monte Carlo Casino in the second part of the 19th century the Grimaldis finally had a steady and generous source of income. Nowadays the local economy comprises of tourism, casino and financial services. It is estimated that more than 100 bn. euros are kept in Monacan banks. The local population is called Monegasque and their language is a crossover between Italian and French. Most signs in Monaco are bilingual in French and Monegasque.

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #beautifulday Monaco pronounced /ˈmɒnəkoʊ/ is a city state founded by the Grimaldi family by purchasing land from the HRE Henry VI and establishing it as a Genoese colony. Its history however dates back to when the Greeks settled here and established a colony in the 6th century B.C. called Monoikos or “single” + “house”. The principality has been pretty much sovereign with minor exceptions although the Grimaldis had to make certain compromises throughout the ages to ensure the city state’s survival. Many policies or even interests coincide with those of France whilst France takes care of defence policies and world affairs.

#mytripvlog #monaco #royal #palace #mustsee #mustvisit Here is a quick overview of the Palace in Monaco. Watch till the end to see the mirror illusions. Impressive all the way!

#mytripvlog #monaco #palace #staterooms The visit to the palace was only €10 or €5 for students and was definitely worth visiting! Would recommend 👌

A place where you can be poor and feel rich. I love Monaco. #monaco #oldmoney #Carsfans

🏛️ Established in the 20th century, it is one of the world’s oldest ocean museums. 📖 King Albert I, who had a passion for the ocean and dedicated himself to exploring its mysteries, founded the Oceanographic Institute in 1906, named after himself. 💰 Ticket: €19 (Winter 2025) Further info: Check on their official website Museum Layout: -2 floor: Entirely an aquarium. -1 floor: Temporarily closed to the public. 1st floor: History exhibits and specimen displays. 2nd floor: Restaurant and children’s playground. Recommendation: If you have kids, it’s a nice place to visit. However, if you’re not particularly interested in marine life, you might not find it worth the price. Personally, I don’t think it’s that special, and the ticket price isn’t justified 😂 For those interested in history, it’s better to read about it online. #monaco #MuséeOcéanographique
