2025 Monte Carlo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

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

#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.

Monte Carlo--named after after Prince Charles III, who was behind it's, construction in the ninth century. It is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. #awesomepic #travelinspiration #travelling #traveladdict #travelusa #europetrip #europetravel #europetravel #photogram #summervacation

Monaco is famously the playground of the rich and famous, despite being the world's 2nd-smallest nation. Spanning just 200 hectares, this historic principality features grand casinos, designer malls, opulent bars and clubs, and a human-made beach, attracting celebrities and vacationers year-round. dont miss to visit monte-carlo monaco it is 30 mins drive from Nice France😍😍😍#luxuryyacht#rich&famous#formula1cars

Le Metropole Shopping Center is all about luxury living, which is obvious when you see its lavish furnishings of crystal chandeliers, Italian marble floors, and upscale brands. With 80 shops selling everything from gourmet food and beauty treatments to designer clothes and exclusive timepieces, you’ll find most of your shopping needs met under the highly ornate ceiling. A good spot to escape the summer heat and humidity, you’ll also find a handful of swanky restaurants inside. Great if you need refuelling while you shop. With lots of high-end boutiques and exclusive brands available at Le Metropole Shopping Center, it should be no surprise that things aren’t cheap here. Even if a wild shopping spree isn’t on your itinerary, the window-shopping alone may well make a trip here worthwhile. 😊 #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

📌 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.

Monaco🇲🇨 The second smallest country in the world, but the richest place in Europe. This time we started from a parking lot in France and walked into Monaco. As soon as we entered the country, the scenery in front of us immediately changed - there were rows of luxury villas, exuding a luxurious atmosphere everywhere. After entering the city, the first thing that catches your eye is the Formula One (F1) track. Every year at the end of May, the world-renowned Monaco Grand Prix is ​​held here. Walking up the mountain along the track, you will arrive at the Monaco Palace, from where you can overlook the entire country and see the borders at a glance - any place without buildings is French territory. 😆 Walk across from the Royal Palace and arrive at the famous Monte Carlo Casino, where the luxury level is even higher. We saw at least four Ferraris outside the casino that day, and there were countless luxury cars of all kinds. However, since we could only park in a parking lot in France for four hours, we had to make a quick trip to Monaco this time. We traveled around the country in just four hours and then set off for our next destination after a quick tour. 😆 #FebruaryGoodPlaces2025

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.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Monaco, a pocket-sized country with an area of ​​only 2 square kilometers, displays unparalleled luxury and charm. When I first set foot on this land, I was immediately attracted by the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the towering mountains around it. Although this place is small, every step is full of surprises and delicate beauty. The glamour of Monte Carlo Casino The first stop in Monaco is, of course, the world-famous Casino de Monte-Carlo. When I stood in front of the main entrance of the casino, I was amazed by the gorgeous architectural style and exquisite details. After entering the casino, the atmosphere of elegance and luxury will make you immersed in it. Even if you don’t gamble, just feeling the atmosphere is a kind of enjoyment. The square outside the casino is filled with all kinds of supercars and luxury cars, as if it is a never-ending luxury exhibition. Classics and History of the Prince's Palace Another highlight of Monaco is the Prince's Palace (Palais Princier). The palace is located on a small hill, overlooking the entire Monaco and the Mediterranean Sea. I took a guided tour inside the palace. The gorgeous decorations and rich historical stories made me interested in the historical background of this small country. In particular, the changing of guard ceremony, although simple, was full of ritual and showcased the traditions and culture of Monaco. Amazing view of Monaco Harbor Strolling through Monaco's Port Hercules, you can feel the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere everywhere. The yachts moored in the port symbolize the luxurious life in Monaco. The sea is blue and the sun shines on the sea, shining with golden light. I sat in a small restaurant by the sea, tasting the local food and admiring the yachts and sea views. I felt that life was so beautiful. The majestic beauty of Monaco Cathedral As an important religious place for the royal family, Monaco Cathedral (Saint Nicholas Cathedral) has an unforgettable sacredness and solemnity. I was particularly attracted by the artwork and architectural design inside the church, which made people calm down and feel the tranquility and historical heritage here. Summarize Although Monaco is small, its charm cannot be measured by its area. It is a place of contrasts: ancient history and modern luxury. For me, this trip to Monaco is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual relaxation and cultural baptism. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely visit this luxurious and moving land again.

Monaco is a city-state in Western Europe, located in southern France on the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second smallest independent country in the world, and has the highest cost of living and the richest population in the world. When you enter the country, you will see luxury cars on the roads, like a show. The roads and everything are beautiful because it is part of the Formula 1 race. It is a country that you must experience at least once. Just walk around and take cool pictures on the famous Monte Carlo street. That's enough. 📍monaco #wintertravel #firsttriptoeurope #firsttriptoeurope #100waystotravel #traveleurope

30 minutes by train from Nice. We went to Monaco, said to be the richest country in the world 🇲🇨 I will introduce the one-day sightseeing course to everyone 💁♀️ 10:30 Arrive Monaco Monte-carlo Station 11:00 In front of the Prince's Palace of Monaco We walked from the station 🚶 It's quite a steep hill to climb, but we enjoyed the view of Monaco city lined with skyscrapers! It's off-season so we can't go inside, but it seems that you can enter from around the end of March 🎫 11:30 Monaco Cathedral I've visited many churches, but this church was very solemn and the use of light was very beautiful. The ceiling mosaics, altar paintings, and interior decoration were all wonderful ⛪️ 11:55 Changing of the guard in front of the Prince's Palace of Monaco We returned to the palace and watched the changing of the guard ceremony 💂♂️ The synchronized march was impressive, and it was great to see it live! 12:15 Eat at a nearby restaurant 13:00 Oceanographic Museum of Monaco A marine facility founded by the Prince of Monaco 🐟 There were many exhibits worthy of a museum, including the aquarium exhibits, ships, the history of its founding, and stuffed Arctic creatures (limited-time event). It was the most luxurious building I've ever been to, and the interior and the way the exhibits were displayed were all wonderful 🥺 15:00 Chocolaterie de Monaco Chocolate used by the royal family. I bought some as a souvenir! As expected of Monaco, even a single chocolate is quite expensive, but I think it would make a great souvenir 🍫 16:00 Walk around the F1 course When you think of Monaco, you think of F1! It takes about an hour to walk around the course, so we went around while sightseeing. This course allows you to enjoy the Monte Carlo area, so I recommend it because you can enjoy the scenery while you go around! On the way, we also passed the Casino de Monte Carlo, and there were a lot of luxury cars at the entrance 🏎️I don't know much about cars, but I was very excited! I didn't have the confidence to enjoy the casino this time, but I would like to enjoy it here again if I visit next time ☺️ I did a lot of sightseeing on foot, but it's a small country so it wasn't a problem at all. If you plan to travel by car, it's best to allow yourself plenty of time as some places can get quite crowded depending on the time of day 🏎️ It was a quick trip, but I was able to get around the old town, the Monte Carlo area, and other famous spots 🚶 I hope this is helpful to everyone ☺️ #Overseas travel record
