Monaco Magic on a Budget: Luxury for Less 🇲🇨

#europeonbudget 🇲🇨 Monaco is a true delight at any time of year and is a destination that is not exactly known for being budget friendly. However, it CAN be done on a budget! 🚄 My trip started off by train from Nice-Ville station on the route that weaves in and out of the mountains (beautiful). 🎰 Descending the Monte Carlo district I quickly came across the world-famous Casino de Monte Carlo. Your budget day trip won't allow a visit inside, but stand outside and admire the supercars! ⛵ Take a walk along the harbour to spot the yachts. If you've a keen eye for the Grand Prix, you'll spot several clues outlining the map. I stopped here for a tea and ice cream instead of the Café de Paris which weighs in at around €10 for the tea alone. 🏰💂♂️ Walk along the cliff edge footpath and you'll reach the Palais Princier (Prince's Palace of Monaco), you can get in for free. 💡 Top tips: 📅 Visit in Autumn/Winter for crisp sea air and low crowds, visit in Summer for the all-famous Grand Prix and a dose of Riviera Sun 🛏️ Budget travellers should stay in Nice or Menton, France, or Ventimiglia, Italy and travel up by train 🍽️ Make sure you fill your appetite before you visit - food is very expensive here #europe #monaco #budgetrip
