A backpacker in Monaco

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

Monaco's dreamy azure coast vacation, you are my god!

Hi, the Mid-Autumn National Day holiday is coming soon👋, I want to share a super 🔥 secret with you: my long-cherished Monte Carlo seaside resort!✨ This trip is simply a dream come true!🌈 I came to Monaco's "Monte Carlo Secret Hotel" this time, and booked a very interesting parent-child suite early, as if I were in a dream world! I have to mention that the hotel's V.I.K parent-child service is very intimate, and has prepared many welcome gifts for the children who stay, such as fresh juice, chocolate lollipops🍭 and coloring sets. Game room, chessboard, mini football field, simply children's favorite! Opposite the Oceanographic Museum here, you can also take a sightseeing train to tour Monaco and feel the charm of this "City of Princes"! If you drive by yourself, you can reach the old town of Nice in 35 minutes. The surrounding short-distance South France tour is very convenient In the morning, I will wake up in the sound of the waves, and then admire the incomparable super beautiful sea view🍽️ on the balcony. In the afternoon, I will participate in water experience courses, such as surfing and diving, etc., and feel like I have become an adventurer!🏄‍♀️ If you are tired, arrange a hydrotherapy SPA to completely relax yourself😎 . Dinner specially went to check in a super fire🔥 Michelin three-star restaurant "Monte Carlo Louis XV-Alain Ducasse Restaurant", I heard that there will be a flash event during the National Day in Sanya Edison. The Michelin two-star chef of Blue Bay will be on the scene to cook. Don't miss the foodies! Facing such a beautiful sea view, wine and music are a perfect match🍻, the signature cocktail super great jazz style American bar, the hotel's Crystal Bar and outdoor wine lounge... This "legendary everywhere" place interprets a unique lifestyle for a century, and the entire azure coast gives an indescribable shock experience. The service of the entire resort is top-notch! Their enthusiasm made me feel very warm🥰 I want to strongly recommend this hotel to all friends who like luxury vacations and beautiful sea views!

Artistic on Terrace

#celebratewithtrip Walk around the high end hotel as true artistic marvels are hidden in the neighborhood. The next artistic installment can be found on the roof of the Monaco Convention Center by the Fairmont Hotel, with its beautifully blue, green and red coloured tiles represent the sky, the sea and the land in an elegant and unique way. Next, a large broken and cracked unique bronze hand with a small globe at the end of the index finger. The piece symbolizes strength, represented by the hand, fragility represented by the cracks. The sculpture suggests that we no longer hold the world in the palm of our hands. "La Ballerina" with wires that run through the piece that lights up at night. "Reina Mariana" by Manolo Valdes and " Adam and Eve" by Fernando Botero and many more, for you to discover. Standing on the terrace to admire views of the Mediterranean and the headlands of the French and Italian rivieras.

Beautiful Monaco and the Casino

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #casino Although, when we think of Monaco we think of opulence, it hasn’t always been like this. With the opening of the Monte Carlo Casino in the second part of the 19th century the Grimaldis finally had a steady and generous source of income. Nowadays the local economy comprises of tourism, casino and financial services. It is estimated that more than 100 bn. euros are kept in Monacan banks. The local population is called Monegasque and their language is a crossover between Italian and French. Most signs in Monaco are bilingual in French and Monegasque.

Monte Carlo - I love you!
