People who love to travel enjoy the world first by spending half a day in Monaco
If you happen to have plans to vacation in Nice, France, then Monaco is a highly recommended nearby destination.
Many people confuse Morocco with Monaco. Morocco is in Africa and offers visa-free entry for us, while Monaco is adjacent to Nice, France, and can be reached by car in 20-30 minutes from Nice.

👣How to get there:
From Nice to Monaco, you can choose between taking a train or driving, both taking about the same time, around 20-30 minutes. However, I personally find driving to be more flexible. For example, if you want to visit the small town of Èze along the way, driving allows you to stop and go as you please.
🚄Train: Take the TER from Nice Requier.
🚗Driving: Navigate directly to Monte Carlo Train Station to reach the center of Monaco.

🌟What to do:
Our route: Monte Carlo Train Station - Monte Carlo Harbor - Prince's Palace - Monaco Cathedral - Oceanographic Museum - Saint Martin Gardens
👉Monte Carlo Harbor: Full of yachts, making us sigh with admiration at how many people are born to be rich.
👉Prince's Palace: There is an observation deck nearby, which is the best place to view the harbor. The changing of the guard ceremony takes place at the palace entrance every day at 11:55 AM, attracting many viewers. If you want to watch, remember to go early to secure a spot.
👉Monaco Cathedral: Quite grand, it is where Grace Kelly held her wedding and is also the burial place of her and the Prince of Monaco.
👉Oceanographic Museum: A museum right next to the sea, with a cool underwater world on the basement level. However, the overall museum area is not very large.
👉Saint Martin Gardens: A very quiet seaside garden where you can see another harbor in Monaco, also filled with yachts. The sea view is very picturesque.
