10 Things to do in Monte-Carlo That You Shouldn't Miss
Monte-Carlo is home to the celebrated Monte Carlo Casino. This glamorous palace is full of frescoes, sculptures, and features an astonishing gold and marble atrium—not to mention the main attraction—gambling! Steeped in 700 years of Grimaldi royal history, Monte-Carlo’s location is stunning, tucked between French medieval villages and the Alps. Take in a world-class opera or ballet, bask in the sun on Larvotto Beach or get an adrenaline rush at May's Formula 1 Grand Prix.

This is a wonderful place to visit and the entrance fee is great value for money, lots of lovely colourful displays of marine life and loads to see, the aquarium is in the basement with the upper floors being the museum, there is the usual shop as you exit and a cafe for a drink or bite to eat. Highly recommended.

My favourite view on the French Riviera. There is a little hike involved so make sure you have appropriate shoes but it’s not too hard. There is also gardens and the walk leading to the Palace is so beautiful!

Small Japanese garden with koi pond and a tea house. Takes 20-30 minutes to visit and even in the area they built heavily is quiet and clean.
5. The Private Collection of Antique Cars of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III

We visited on a Sunday and it wasn’t very busy, which was nice. The collection is varied and well curated with some fantastic vehicles, it’s certainly well worth a visit. While we were there the exhibits ranged from early horse drawn carriages through to exotica and rally cars as well as exhibits about motoring in Monaco and car design. Entrance price was fair. I admit to being a car fan, with classic cars of my own, but my husband isn’t particularly interested and can get bored at some museums, but he wasn’t bored here. You should visit. When you go, look out for the pedestals holding the information cards, they are all different and made from car components.

Went on 5 day Leger coach trip with a friend staying in Bartolomeo al Mare, Italy on B&B basis. Stayed overnight in Reims on outbound journey. I enjoy travelling by coach and the drive south through Champagne, along the Rhone to Cote d'azure and then along the coast road passed Monaco to Italy for 3 nights. Plenty of seafront restaurants in Bartolomeo al Mare so no need to stay in your hotel. Our experience was to go out of the hotel for dinner and NOT eat dinner in the hotel. The breakfast was perfectly fine as a Contintal Breakfast. But the restaurants along the seafront were friendly, had Italian family clientele and the food was superb and definitely value for money. We had included coach transfers in and out of Monaco on Saturday and Sunday for Qualifying and the GP race and spent full days in Monaco on both days, walking around and watching both the main events and other races. The attractions in Monaco are closed while the races are on and some do reopen once the races have ended for the day. There are plenty of affordable eateries and bars around Monaco for a bite to eat, coffee or beer etc. You don't have to look too far. We had swimming pool section tickets pre bought via the F1 website but general admission tickets were included in our tour operator package. This was an excellent trip well organised by Leger Coach Holidays. We enjoyed every bit of it and the Monaco Grand Prix should be on your bucket list.

Whilst staying in Nice, we made the short trip to Monaco on the last evening of our holiday, to eat at the Café de Paris and then spend a few hours across the square in the casino. Received a good welcome on arrival and table in a bright area in the restaurant., with plenty of room between tables. Food was expensive but good quality, well presented and excellent taste. Drinks not cheap, but good quality wine and well chilled. an excellent place fr a quality meal with a great atmosphere.
