The first part of Monte Carlo was terribly disappointing: if you come from the Nice area you cross a district plenty of horrible buildings that seem to be the city suburbs. Honestly I did not expect something like this: the building are built this way as there\’s little space there, but the view is not that great.
Once you have crossed this area and got to the city centre, everything changes: top cars everywhere, stunning villas

- Jardin Exotique
- Cathedral
Going back to Milan, if you are into Formula 1, you can cross the famous tunnel and the curve of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix.

Where to sleep:
The first thing to consider is that the prices in Monte Carlo are higher than many other places in Europe. If you want to stay in the city-state, the options are:
- Hotel France, located at 7 minutes walk from the beach or 10 minutes from the Prince’s Palace, breakfast available at 10 Euros per night per person, prices from 145 Euros per night per double room.
- Novotel Monte Carlo, located close to the train station, Place du Casino, Grimaldi Forum, breakfast not included (19,60 Euros per person per night) or included depending on the choice, prices from 275 Euros per double room per night.
- Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo, 5-star hotel located in the Carrè d\’Or close to the luxury boutiques and Casino square, the rooms are decorated by interior designer Jacques Garcia, breakfast included, prices from 500 Euros per double room per night.

Loved following you on your tour. I have never been to Monte Carlo – it looks beautiful!
Thanks a lot David! It's a nice city…I loved the old city where there's the Prince palace and then there's the richest part, the one of the casino and the port. For sure it was the first time for me too…not my place, but would love to come back there at least once in the future.
