She is Lost Around the World

I stayed in Nice for three days while exploring the French Riviera, and instead of moving hotels every night, I visited Monaco and Menton as day trips. Looking back, I genuinely think that was the best decision. A day trip Nice to Monaco is one of the easiest day trips you can do in Europe. The train takes less than half an hour, you don’t need a car, and Monaco is small enough to explore in just one day. In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to plan your day trip Nice to Monaco, whether you should do it independently or book a tour, and which option I’d personally…

I visited Monaco as part of a longer solo trip through Italy, France and Monaco, where I stayed in Nice for three days and used it as my base to explore the French Riviera. Instead of spending an entire day in Monaco, I actually combined Monaco and Menton on the same day, and it worked much better than I expected. Monaco is one of the smallest countries in the world, so unless you’re planning to stay in a luxury hotel or spend hours shopping and gambling, you really don’t need more than a day to see the highlights. In this guide, I’m sharing the Monaco itinerary I’d recommend to anyone…

I figured I’d hop from one place to the next and they’d all have the same charm, just with slightly different views. After spending three days based in Nice and visiting Monaco and Menton, I quickly realized that wasn’t true at all. Some places completely exceeded my expectations, while others felt a bit overrated. So instead of giving you another generic list of towns on the French Riviera, I wanted to rank the ones I’ve experienced myself and tell you which ones I’d actually recommend if you only have a few days in the region.

When people think about the French Riviera, they usually imagine luxury hotels, beach clubs, champagne, and billionaires parking their yachts in Monaco. And while all of that definitely exists, that’s not how I experienced it at all. I spent three days exploring the French Riviera as a backpacker, staying in Nice and using it as my base to visit places like Monaco and Menton without spending a ridiculous amount of money. If there’s one thing I learned during this trip, it’s that visiting the French Riviera on a budget is absolutely possible—you just need to know where to stay, how to get around, and what to avoid wasting your money…
