There are many luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.🙊 You can take a bus from Nice. If you go from Eze, you need to prepare cash.

Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican. Today, it features modern skyscrapers, F1 racetracks, luxury yachts, villas, etc. The most not to be missed are the Oceanographic Museum founded by Prince Albert I of Monaco and the Saint Martin Flower Garden on the right. Albert I devoted much of his life to scientific projects such as oceanography and exploration, producing many oceanographic studies, including maps and charts, in his submarines in the company of some of the world's leading oceanographers. In 1896, during his marine research on the Azov Islands, he discovered the "Princess Alice Bank", an underwater mountain range with rich biological diversity. In particular, because the water is particularly clear, this ocean world can be seen from sea level. What tourists talk about most today may be the story of Rainier III and his wife Princess Grace. Grace was listed as one of the 25 greatest female stars in classic Hollywood films by the 13th American Film Institute. She married Rainier III in April 1956 and became the Princess of Monaco. Grace Kelly and Rainier III had three children. After marriage, she focused on raising her children and doing charity work for the United Nations. Unfortunately, she died of a stroke in a car accident on September 14, 1982. After Grace's death, the prince refused to remarry and established the Princess Grace Foundation that same year to support emerging American artists. Compared with its colorful modern history, Monaco is actually a pocket-sized country with a very long history, which can be traced back to the 6th century BC. The Greco-Walkers had established settlements here. Later, it was ruled by the Holy Roman Empire. In 1191, the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI granted Monaco to the Genoese, and in 1215 Genoa re-established settlements here. A must-visit place, the Prince's Palace of Monaco, is the historical origin of the current rulers, the Grimaldi family in Monaco. On January 8, 1297, François Grimaldi, a member of the Genoese royal family and aristocrat, used a strategy to occupy the Prince's Palace of Monaco on January 8, 1297. Although he was expelled from the country by the Genoese army just four years later, he was the first person in the Grimaldi family to try to rule Monaco. In 1309, François Grimaldi's cousin, Rainier I, Lord of Cagnes, succeeded to the rule of Monaco, but the Grimaldi family and Genoa continued to fight for Monaco for a century. It was not until the late 14th century that the Republic of Genoa was defeated and Monaco was incorporated into the Kingdom of Aragon. In 1419, the Grimaldi family purchased Monaco from the Kingdom of Aragon and became the undisputed rulers of Monaco. In 1630, Prince Aureliano II of Monaco accepted French protection and became its vassal, but maintained the monarchy of a sovereign state until the French Revolution. In 1793, the revolutionary army occupied Monaco, and in 1814 it was occupied by the French army and restored to the rule of the Grimaldi family. From 1815 to 1860, it was under the protection of the Kingdom of Sardinia. During this period, Menton, France, which borders Italy today, and Logebrune-Cap-Martin between Menton and Monaco were incorporated into the Kingdom of Sardinia because they could not bear the heavy tax demands of the Grimaldi family. In the face of French opposition, they were eventually ceded to France by the Grimaldi family for 4.1 million francs. This part accounted for 95% of Monaco's land area at the time. After the signing of the Treaty of Turin in 1860, Monaco once again became a French protectorate. The Franco-Monegasque Treaty signed in 1861 recognizes Monaco's sovereignty to this day. Today, Monaco is still ruled by descendants of Rainier I, cousin of pioneer François Grimaldi. #history #Europe #European travel #European travel #sea view #Monaco #France #Italy #Genoa #yacht #good place to ride a submarine #Mediterranean Sea

📍Monaco 🚌 How to get there: 40 minutes by bus from Nice 🔍 Places to visit: Fontvieille Port, Monaco Palace, Monaco Cathedral, Monaco Tour Office, etc. 🍽 Restaurants, cafes: Caffe Milano 🏨 Shopping: I don't recommend shopping other than souvenirs Many people think of Monaco as a city in France, but it's the second smallest country in the world! However, there's no separate airport or immigration, so there's no process to stamp your passport, but if you visit the "Monaco Tour Office", you can stamp it, so it's a must-see attraction in Monaco? 😀 The city isn't that big, so you can easily see it all in a day. Power J, but I didn't really plan a tourist course and just walked around wherever I could, and it was so nice.🫶🏻 #Monaco #MonteCarlo #MonacoTravel #Nice #NiceTravel #SouthFrance #France #FranceTravel #EuropeTravel #Vacation #SummerTravel #SummerVacation

Monaco The Wealthy Conclave Of Europe : Perched over the Mediterranean Ocean, Monaco is a picturesque country. With very high prices, most travelers can only afford to spend one day in this conclave for the rich. Monaco The principality of Monaco is a bizarre little place. Situated to the east of the French Riviera, the country is very small and dominated by the city of Monte Carlo. Everything in the principality caters to the wealthy, so budget travelers beware. Historically, the Grimaldi royal family has and continues to dominate Monaco. There influence is everywhere and, as you’ve probably noticed, one of them seems to be in tabloid news every day. Regardless, they have managed to stay in power for hundreds of years and turned Monaco into the expat haven of Europe through lax tax laws. #cityoverlook#givethanks#tripinspired#europeanarchitecture#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Riding a motorcycle from Nice to Monaco is an unforgettable journey. Driving along the winding coastal road, you will have a broad view. On the left is the magnificent Mediterranean Sea, and on the right are cliffs and scattered European-style buildings, making you feel the unique style of southern France. As the altitude increases, the scenery along the way becomes more spectacular, especially when passing the Grande Corniche, the view overlooking the entire coastline is breathtaking. After arriving in Monaco, we first visited Monte Carlo. This place is famous for its luxury. Supercars can be seen speeding through the streets. The elegant buildings and exquisite parks make the whole city full of aristocratic atmosphere. Then head to the old town of Monaco (Le Rocher), where the winding alleys retain traces of history. Go up to the commanding heights of the Monaco Palace (Palais Princier) and overlook the entire city and the harbor. The scenery is magnificent. Stop at Port Hercules to admire the luxurious yachts moored at the pier and get a feel for the opulence of the Principality. Afterwards, we rode through the classic track of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. It seemed as if we could feel the roar of the racing engine, which added a touch of excitement to the journey. Although half a day is short, from the magnificent scenery of the coastal road to the prosperity and history of Monaco, this cycling tour is undoubtedly a perfect experience combining nature and city exploration.

📌 Nice, France & Monaco State In all my diverse travels so far I was yet to tick off France and I thought "why tick off one country when I can tick off two?" so picked Nice as my French base for the weekend and was keen to explore the fantastic and contemporary state of Monaco. Why visit Nice & Monaco? 🤫 Bustling city life in Nice 🍽️ Excellent food and drink culture 🚄 Unblemished views of the Cote d'Azur as you venture towards Monaco via train 🇲🇨 Contemporary and vibrant adventures in Monaco 👟 Compact cities all accessible on foot Arriving at Nice airport at 11:00am on a Saturday morning, I was straight through passport control in no time and after a wait of around 10 minutes there was a tram ready to head to the city centre, a journey of around 20 minutes and at a cost of €10.00 including a return ticket which I'd go on to use the next day. 🌊 After arriving into the city centre I headed straight down to the seafront to get a glimpse of the Cote d'Azur (French Riviera) and was not disappointed. Despite visiting in January, the sea was blue, sand gold and palm trees adorned the promenade (Picture 1). 📷 I took a nice walk along the front to take in the views and then meandered back through the city's narrow streets and alleyways, passing a great deal of souvenir shops and local delicatessens. I came across striking buildings such as the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate (Picture 2) and the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, a Russian Orthodox Church (Picture 3). 🍽️ Time for something to eat and I ate a delicious pizza at an Italian restaurant back near the promenade. 🛌 I then headed to the hotel for rest as I knew I was to have a busy day the following day. Onto Day 2 and I was straight off to Nice-Ville, the main railway station to head to Monaco. ⛵📷 If you're thinking of heading to Monaco, you must do it by train! An upstairs seat on the double-deck InterCity trains gives you an amazing view of the French Riviera as the train passes in and out of the cliffs and stops at the small coastal villages (Picture 4). 🎰 Arriving in Monaco and after having traversed the steep cliff into the city centre via several escalators I arrived at the Monte-Carlo Casino, an unmissable sight on your trip (Picture 5). 🏰 After a tea and some rest my trip in Monaco continued with looking around at the sights such as the Marina (Picture 6) and the Prince's Palace of Monaco (Picture 7), which is often overlooked being a slight trip from the centre but well worth a look. 🚄 I took another brief stop back in France, the city of Menton (Picture 8) before it was back to the airport for my trip home. All in all, a great adventure and one for the bucket list. The views were the best part of it. I'll be back for sure! #springwander

#europetrip Visiting Monaco was like stepping into a world where elegance, history, and breathtaking coastal views blend seamlessly. This small yet glamorous principality on the French Riviera is renowned for its wealth, stunning architecture, and Mediterranean charm, making every moment feel special. Walking through the Monte Carlo district, I was immediately struck by the grandeur of the Casino de Monte-Carlo, an architectural masterpiece that exudes old-world luxury. Its ornate façade, gilded interiors, and the sight of luxury cars lining the entrance perfectly captured Monaco’s reputation for extravagance. Nearby, the Hotel de Paris added to the scene with its refined Belle Époque charm. A stroll along the Port Hercule revealed a spectacular marina filled with gleaming yachts, each one seemingly larger than the last. The contrast of deep blue waters against the white-hulled vessels created a postcard-perfect view, with the backdrop of Monaco’s hilly cityscape adding to its dramatic beauty. Venturing to Le Rocher, the old town of Monaco, offered a different perspective. The charming, narrow streets led me to the Prince’s Palace, where I arrived just in time to witness the changing of the guard. The panoramic views from the palace grounds were unforgettable, stretching across the Riviera and the sparkling sea beyond. I also visited the Oceanographic Museum, an architectural gem perched on a cliff, showcasing marine life in stunning detail. The museum’s exhibits and the breathtaking rooftop terrace provided yet another angle of Monaco’s endless beauty. As the evening set in, I found myself at the Larvotto Beach, where the shimmering waters reflected the lights of the city. Monaco’s blend of opulence, history, and natural splendor made it an unforgettable destination, a place where every corner felt like a scene from a glamorous film.

I really like the cities of Baesan Imsu😂 Since I was 20, Monaco has been my dream city, so when I visited Nice, France to meet a friend, I didn't really see Nice and was obsessed with going to Monaco. I really wanted to stop by Eze Village on the way there. When I went, there was bus number 112, so I could easily go from Nice to Eze and from Eze to Monaco in one go, but these days, that bus is goneㅠㅠ If you want to see Eze and Monaco in one day using public transportation, you should plan your public transportation route well. Or, there are tour products so you can easily look around. However, I flew to Nice and saw Eze and Monaco without seeing Nice, so it was so good... These are two places I definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Nice💕 After visiting Monaco, I looked up all the movies that Monaco appeared inㅎㅎ I was so jealous of Grace Kelly. Monaco, a rich country with no taxes and no beggarsㅎㅎ I heard that if you want to immigrate to Monaco, you can only do so by investing billionsㅋㅋ ##February travel support event #Monaco travel #Ez Village #Nice suburbs ##Nice suburbs travel

The "French-style" Boulingrins Gardens offer a magnificent view of the Monte Carlo Palace. This stunning mirror reflects the majestic Monte Carlo Palace in the center. A series of fountains, pavilions, and flower beds in the center of Monte Carlo. The garden was built in 1865, at the same time as the Grand Hotel in Paris. As early as the 17th century, people played bowling games on the passage through the garden. The garden paths were very popular with British customers, who called this meeting place "green", so "Bowling-green" became Boulingrins. The garden has undergone several renovations. The last one was completed in 1989, when an underground parking lot was built, dug into the rock and covered with concrete slabs. The current garden was built on the latter, so that people can enjoy a pleasant walk between the fountains and flowers.

#beachtime Monaco, the glamorous jewel of the French Riviera, is famed for its luxurious yachts, high-end casinos, and world-class shopping.

This public beach is pebbly, but the clear, turquoise waters are inviting, perfect for a refreshing swim. Though it can get busy in summer, it remains one of the most popular spots for both locals and visitors. The surrounding area is lined with restaurants and cafes, making it a great place to relax after a swim. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas, and there's even a lifeguard for added safety. **A Hidden Gem: The Monaco Private Beaches** While Monaco doesn’t have vast expanses of sand, the Principality is home to several private beaches tied to luxurious hotels.

Monte-Carlo Beach, located just outside the city center, has a stunning private sandy beach that offers perfect views of the Mediterranean. Visitors can enjoy the private pool, cabanas, and exquisite dining options by the sea. **A Stroll Along the Coastline** One of the highlights of Monaco’s coast is its scenic walking paths.

For a quieter experience, early mornings or late afternoons are perfect for enjoying the tranquility before the crowds arrive. **Final Thoughts** While Monaco is known for its opulence and glittering lifestyle, its beaches offer a contrasting sense of peace and beauty.
