Travel to French Riviera In Winter: Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Antibes

…s, there’s other places like Antibes which are better to do. Tip 5: Day in Monte Carlo You must spend the day in Monte Carlo. The drive out there is really quite stupendous. You weave your way up the mountain and over down the other side into Monte Carlo. It really is great. As you drive, there are a couple of places to stop and take in the scenery, and take some photographs looking back towards Nice. It is quite magical. Once you get into Monte C…

Monaco has to be one of the most surreal and strange places in the Western World. Some have likened it to the facade of a Disney resort and others to the obscene and extreme glitz of a Las Vegas resort. But for me it is neither, it is just strange and fascinating at the same time….

Hotel De Paris Monte Carlo Monaco: What is is like staying at one of the iconic hotels of the world?

The first time I went to Monaco was when I was 20. I was on a camping holiday and we had stopped in Nice at a site there, and the bus had taken us to Monaco for the evening. I know I was 20 as we could not get into the casino as you had to be 21, and I was near to my birthday. I remember us taking photos on the steps and looking at the grand and expensive Hotel De Paris opposite saying one day I would be back, and well off enough to stay there. I…

MONACO: one of the most surreal places you can visit in Europe.

…erence between Monaco and Monte Carlo was – if anything. I discovered that Monte Carlo is a district within Monaco, with the country and capital both being called Monaco (as they are one and the same). The famous Formula 1 Grand Prix takes place each May in the Monte Carlo district, which is kind of the centre of the most know and visited area of Monaco where the Casino and Hotel De Paris are located. Monaco is a strange quirk as it is ruled by th…

Which Cruise Line Is The VERY BEST By Region And Why?

…arge working port. When I went on Seabourn and Azamara, we docked right in Monte Carlo, but on Norwegian Viva we had to go to nearby Nice. When I went to the Greek Islands on Azamara and later Seabourn, we visited small islands not crowded by land-based tourists or hordes of mega ship passengers. So, I would recommend if you possibly can, to look at lines like Azamara, Windstar, Oceania (but their smaller ships) and if your budget can go that far,…

The Worst Mediterranean Cruise Ports Are Also The Best

…There are 4 ports that stand out for me, that I suggested to Winnie. Monte Carlo Monte Carlo is one. To get to see this slightly surreal, and rich city is worth it. It’s a great day walking round the harbour filled with mega-yachts, strolling round the famous casino, and posing with the flash cars outside Hotel de Paris (which I stayed in once by the way, over-priced and tiny room). The next four ports are much more substantive, and favourites of…

The 8 Downsides of Cruising and How To Deal With Them

…u’ll often call at the same port. You’ll be going to Barcelona, Marseille, Monte Carlo, Livorno, Civitavecchia for Rome. And again, if you go on a Caribbean cruise, you’ll often go to the same ports repeatedly. So, if you cruise a lot it can get a little bit repetitive. Of course, you can switch things up by choosing different cruise lines, smaller ships or bigger ships to try and shake it up a bit, but there’s always a risk of experiencing repeti…

7 Cruises To Consider For Your Return To Cruising (After the Shutdown)

…ome. Plus, you’ll normally have other places to see: you might go to Monte Carlo or Monaco, so you’ll get to see a slice of different countries. You’ll see Spain, you’ll see France, you’ll see Italy. That definitely is a great cruise to do and it’s worth considering as both Barcelona and Rome are major cruising ports and although both those countries suffered really badly through the whole virus and the pandemic, they will be focused on getting up…
