Monte Carlo, Monaco

ORIENTATION: If coming from Nice we'd strongly suggest taking the train unless you have a need to take a car. The roads leading to Monaco are 2 lane. If you get behind a truck, find construction or hit rush hour it can be a painfully long (yet beautiful) drive. Check the train schedule in Nice, but that seemed to be the best way to go.

LODGING: there are many high end US and European chains in town here. For cheaper alternatives, go to Nice.

FOOD: Many very pricey restaurants, especiallly around the Casino. Look for bakeries and sandwich shops for cheap eats.

ATTRACTIONS:

  • Monte Carlo Casino - 10 Euro to enter, 5 euro minimum to bet. The decor inside is worth a stroll if you are willing to drop 10.
  • Marina - free glance at some amazing yachts!
SHOPPING: you'll find all high end retail chains in this town.
