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

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

#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.

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

For those who admire natural beauty, a bit of glamour, nightclubs and fine dining and adventure, Monaco is the place to be. Despite its small size, Monaco can be suitable for you if you are keen on exploring the tourist attractions, even though there isn't much to do in Monaco. You can book a sightseeing tour on the double decker, visit the Japanese Garden, explore Nikki Beach and even drive around, whether it is to Monte Carlo, Cannes or Nice. Nice is more like London so you are going to find a downtown with shops for clothes, shoes, restaurants and cafes but let me tell you this it is extremely expensive, so if you are someone travelling on a budget make sure you have a proper itinerary. Also, you can travel from Monte Carlo to Nice by train. Furthermore, you can find a variety of luxurious yachts there, do not be surprised if you find luxurious cars driving around in Monaco, it is known for its Formula 1 and Grand Prix events, so if you have a love for such things you can schedule your trip around those events. #travel #monaco #thingstodo #montecarlo #france

Monte Carlo is a famous city in Monaco, known for its high-end hotels and racetracks. It is not only a gathering place for celebrities from around the world, but also a world-renowned tourist destination. Monte Carlo's magnificent architecture attracts countless tourists. The high-end, atmospheric, and ancient buildings were built in the mid-19th century and designed by the same designer of the Paris Opera House, Garnier. The interior is gorgeously decorated like a palace, attracting people from all over the world. In addition, Monte Carlo is also famous for its annual F1 racing competition, attracting the attention of racing enthusiasts worldwide. The night view here is even more beautiful, with neon-lit streets and buildings full of romance and mystery. The various models of cars in the parking lot and the various yachts on the dock have become a unique scenery: people take photos leaning against the cars, and the birds on the statues quietly watch the world... Monte Carlo is a charming and vibrant city worth visiting.

Monaco was absolutely one of the most luxurious tourist country I have visited. The brands and cars are absolutely stunning. Monaco would leave behind the people from Dubai for me. I have seen old class and true money here. Its just so beautiful and also expensive but it is worth it. I think you can cover most of it in One day, as the main attraction is the Monte Carlo Casino. The 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: at the casino and hotel Paris was just the best luxury I have experienced 💰Average Price per Person: 150 Gbp /200 euro a day depending on the activities like boat ride, gambling, food and drinks

Accessible from Monaco Nice (France) Airport by bus or train 🇲🇨 The first photo is Buddha-bar 🪷 You can enjoy Japanese and Thai food. The fourth photo is casino 🎰 You can enter for 19 euros and get 10 euros of credit so you can play at the casino. The fifth to seventh photos are the collection of cars of the Prince of Monaco. You can see the race cars used in Formula One, as well as luxury cars from old cars to modern Ferraris and Lamborghinis. There are also plenty of souvenir shops. 🏎️ The eighth photo is café de Paris in front of the Monte Carlo Casino. You can enjoy delicious drinks, cocktails, and delicious food. Outside is only a bar. You can enjoy meals inside. This is caviar. If you come to Monaco, try the caviar. It's very delicious! Also, the Pornstar Martini and Aperol cocktail is delicious! I also recommend walking along Monaco's Raceway. It's about 3km long, so it's a nice walk. There are lots of luxury cars on the road, so if you're a car lover, it's a must-go. Please visit Monaco and experience a different world!
