Things to do near Nice: Monaco Old Town 🇲🇨

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] On this trip, I visited Monaco's old town, Monaco-Ville (Le Rocher)! 🇲🇨🏰🌿 🛄ㅣThe Heart of a Kingdom Built on Rock Monaco's old town sits atop Le Rocher, a massive rocky hill jutting out from the sea. It's the center of Monaco's royal family and where the city's history began. The atmosphere is completely different from the modern high-rise buildings below, and the moment I stepped foot into the hill, I felt as if I had traveled back in time hundreds of years. 🌿 A Town with Red Roofs and Cobblestone Streets The old town was filled with narrow alleys and pastel-colored buildings. Peach and cream-colored facades lined the streets, and flower pots hung in every window, enveloping the entire city in a warm hues. Small souvenir shops and cafes were hidden between the alleys, and the soft sound of people walking slowly echoed through the air. Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi, in particular, boasts preserved old buildings, allowing visitors to experience Monaco's old charm. 🏰 The Palace and Port at a Glance At the highest point of the hill stands the Palais Princier de Monaco. The Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place in the square in front of the palace, and the view beyond is breathtaking. Below, Port de Fontvieille and the azure Mediterranean Sea are visible, with white yachts moored in the harbor sparkling in the sunlight. On the other side, the modern city of Monaco unfolds, capturing the tranquil old town and the splendid new town in one frame. ✅️ | Travel Tips 1️⃣ Route – It takes about 15 minutes to walk from near Port Hercule.
