Watch the yachts come and go while soaking up the chic atmosphere. Afternoon: Stroll along Port Hercules, or take a walk along the Formula 1 Grand Prix route to feel the thrill of Monte Carlo’s racing heritage. Visit the Japanese Garden for a peaceful break, or enjoy a coffee at Café de Paris, perfect for people-watching. Evening: Catch the train or bus back to Nice. Sit on the seaside side of the train for beautiful sunset views over the Mediterranean coast.
