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

Views from the newly opened Amazonico restaurant

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.

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

In April 2025, Morocco is a must-visit destination! Known as the African country that feels least like Africa, it boasts half sea and half desert, and has been repeatedly ranked among the top 10 travel destinations by Lonely Planet. Morocco's eastern border connects with Algeria. I took a short train ride to Monaco to experience the luxury of this tiny kingdom. I visited the Monte Carlo Casino, marveling at its opulent interior design and refined atmosphere. The harbor was filled with luxury yachts, and the streets were bustling with high-end cars. Monaco's grandeur perfectly blends with the Mediterranean scenery, leaving visitors in awe.
