My goal is to tell you, after the Vatican Monaco, the second smallest state in the worldWhile introducing the places you can visit and see in one day itinerary to create.
Monaco (monaco) all ball A tiny city-state of 2 square kilometers. in the south-east of France, Nice Menton It is a beautiful place with a wonderful view, located between France, whose land borders are formed by France, overlooking the blue of the Mediterranean. A significant part of the population of approximately 40 thousand people is from the ultra rich because it occurs This place has a completely different atmosphere. As you read the article and look at the photos, you will understand better what I mean.
How to get to Monaco? It is also possible to come with your yacht or helicopter, but I assume you will come by road or railway :) Of course, if you are coming from Turkey, first take a plane. NiceYou need to come to . It is very easy to get here from Nice by train. From Nice Station, TCDD of France one SNCFYou can take the TER trains and arrive in half an hour. your train ticket From SNCF's official website It would be an ideal way to avoid the rush at the vending machines, especially at Nice Station.
Coming by car is also a pleasure. If you come from the highway, it is boring (and expensive) like all the highways in the world, but if you have time and use the coastal road, you can reach here in about 1 hour with a wonderfully enjoyable view. Also From Nice by bus 600 2,10€You can come to! You can try it if you have time, we use this line frequently, if it is not a busy season, it is very enjoyable to go there while watching the magnificent view. But remember this: NiceThe normal transportation card you use in is not valid on the bus to Monaco. Zou You buy tickets through an application called. If you do not want to deal with tickets and applications, You scan your credit card directly to the devices on the bus..

If I remember correctly, we first went to Monaco in 2009, via Milan, by renting a car, in a tiny yellow Fiat 500... Our little car looked so humble among all the luxury :) On those narrow coastal roads, we saw a giant Rolls Royce with its two wheels left on the pavement. I can't forget the sweat I shed while passing through the narrow space next to him. You're welcome, we wouldn't be able to pay for the car even if we scratched it or gave it our own 😀 Still, I was very happy to realize my biggest dream, which was to drive on the roads of Monaco.
Of course since July 2023 NiceBecause I live in I've been going to Monaco more often now. Because Monaco has a special place in my heart. Although I am a believer in republican values, kingdoms and principalities seem ridiculous to me, but tabloid To trace the traces of my childhood as Princess of Monaco Grace KellySeeing the land where , died as a result of a tragic accident has a different meaning for me.
You know, the previous Prince of Monaco Prince Rainier's wife, famous movie star Grace Kelly and Grace Kelly died in 1982 as a result of a traffic accident on the winding roads between Monaco and France. I was a child then; I remember following this incident and the news that followed. Children of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly Albert, Caroline and Stéphanie's lives were always the subject of the press, and I was witnessing this life with my childish mind. And on top of that, Princess Stéphanie teenage mischief and husband of Princess Caroline Stefano CasiragiAdded to the fact that he lost his life during the boat races, they became a hot topic.
In this case, seeing Monaco naturally has different meanings. If you would like to see this interesting city-state and plan to go by car high parking fees I would recommend you to take the risk and leave your car in the multi-storey car parks. In fact The best thing is to come here by train from Nice.. Monaco has only one train station, and it is carved into the mountain, somewhere underground. Which direction you go when you leave the station is entirely up to you. Believe me, it is very difficult to describe because Monaco is a place with many ups and downs due to its geographical structure. Because it is, the way to go from one place to another is quite complicated.
If you exit Monaco Station and continue uphill to the left Monte Carlo If you continue to the right, you will reach the port. I think you start from the Monte Carlo side first and proceed along the street on the left diagonal (Boulevard Suisse). Monaco's famous casino, Casino du Monte CarloContact . Besides - just by the way - this is a much more magnificent building than the Monaco Princely Palace 😉 Click here Paris Opera – Palais Garnierarchitect of charles garnier made; inside Monte Carlo Opera There is also.
When you come to Monte Carlo Casino, you will see luxury cars at the door. If you wish, you can enter the building and even gamble if you are attired. You must be properly dressed to enter the building; you may not be allowed in with slippers or sandals. Moreover If you plan to gamble in Monaco, you must have a passport with you.. If you are an EU citizen, having your ID is enough. Even if you are not going to gamble, I recommend you to take a look at the main building, it is truly fascinating inside. Of course, if you can find tickets to the artistic events held in this building, it will be an unforgettable experience for you...
The roots of the Principality of Monaco date back to 1297 And after that date, Monaco has managed to survive as an independent principality until today, despite going through various difficulties. Although it sometimes came under the protection of other states, it ultimately remained independent. In such matters, it is necessary to be successful in the political field rather than military power; or? Monaco is a palm-sized country of 2 square kilometers... He has a tough life But it seems that the ruling powers have deemed it appropriate for this country to survive, and the princes of Monaco have taken advantage of the situation, They are playing country with themselves here 😉
In the mid-19th century, Monaco was a principality extending to Menton, but when Menton decided to join France, it had to be content with this 2 square kilometer area. When he lost his agricultural lands, the then Prince of Monaco III. Charles opened this casino you see. Of course, it was a shrewd move when gambling was prohibited in Europe at that time. Although they were not successful at first, Monaco became a great success over time and began to be a point of attraction for the richest people in the world. After that, events developed and today it became a tiny city-state that gathers so many rich people.
Famous place just to the left of the casino Café de Paris there is. Sitting on the terrace can be very enjoyable, especially in nice weather. There is a magnificent sea view at the back of the casino; Watching the yachts below on the right is also mind-blowing. It would be a little unfair to call the yachts anchored here yachts, because each of them is like a ship. When people look here As if there was nothing in the world Even though he feels it, we all know how unfair the world is.
I usually prefer to start my tour after visiting the Monte Carlo Casino by walking along this terrace towards the marina and going down the ramp. This ramp will take you into the heart of the marina. in may Formula 1 Monte Carlo Races'If you come across this small city-state turns into a huge race track.
In this case, the giant stands built in all four corners may disrupt your travel pleasure a little. No, if I were someone who loved racing, maybe I would be happy and human beings to compete, to compete, to appease because I don't find it right formula 1 let it be, Tour de France let it be, World Cup I have no interest in any race whatsoever. Purely personal preference; If you like it, what you see may be much more meaningful to you.
It is quite enjoyable to wander around the marina. Ship-like yachts are truly mind-boggling. When I see such marinas, it is more about keeping those yachts in these harbours, than the money spent to own these yachts, and these huge boats when there are so many homeless people in the world. to lay idle I think about the money spent on it and it always hurts when I think about it.
When you tour the marina with these feelings and reach the other end, it's time to climb the rocks on the west side of Monaco. If you wish, you can walk up the ramp to the castle above, or continue along the beach and pass the giant floor car park. Monaco Oceanographic Museum – Musée de l'OcéanographieYou can go directly up using the elevator just below. When you get off the elevator and go up the stairs, you are at the door of the Oceanographic Museum and at the beginning of the historical part of Monaco...
When I was a kid on the radio "Reported from the Department of Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography" There would be announcements saying "Oceanography", but I always wondered what it was at that time :) The word "Oceanography" came directly from Océanographie and means the science of the sea or ocean. This magnificent museum, built on steep rocks against the Mediterranean, marine and ocean sciences museum and aquarium serves as. Although aquariums were not so common in the world in the past, so it was much more important to see this place, but now there are a considerable number of beautiful aquariums in Turkey; So the decision to go in is entirely up to you. Its magnificent historical building and magnificent view are a must-see…
our childhood Captain Cousteau (kusto) was spent watching documentaries, the fact that Cousteau was the director of this museum between 1957 and 1988 made the museum named after him, and naturally, visiting this museum was inevitable for me. I visited and I was very happy. Although during my trip I cringeSince I missed the chance to touch the shark babies, I'm not thinking "should I go again?" I still have doubts 😉
After visiting the museum, enter one of the streets opposite. In the historical center of Monaco You start to wander around. As you walk in circles, the pedestrian path you will pass will Princely Palace of MonacoIt will take you to . Along the road eating and drinking a lot about modest You can find options. I can say that the restaurants in this area are really modest, as there are more luxurious options in the parts of the city you have visited before 😉
The end of the road leads to the small square where the palace is located, as I said, and as I said, the palace is definitely much more modest than the casino building. Even I think City Hall in Paris Hôtel de Ville Even more magnificent 😉 However, since the Monaco Palace was built on a steep slope, it has a very impressive location and view overlooking the city. If you wish, you can visit the palace for a fee, but I must admit that I was never curious and did not go inside. Maybe I'll visit it on one of my next trips to Monaco. We would be happy if any of you visited this palace and shared your experiences with us.
When you look down from the slope to the left of the palace, you will see that there is even a football stadium in this tiny country. Those who are already interested in football AS Monaco Football ClubThey know . This is AS Monaco's stadium II. Louis Stadium. This side of Monaco also has an interesting feature: This is a neighborhood built on an area expanded as a result of the filling of the sea within the scope of a large project. In this way, they aimed to increase the surface area of Monaco, and as far as I know, this area expansion work will continue for a long time…
I, however, like looking at the view on the right side of the palace more. That's why I chose the cover photo of this article from this view. The view you see before you is an interesting one. boutique city-state It is also special in terms of its view. Otherwise, we are trying not to see the disgusting reinforced concrete apartment buildings that I think were built in the 70s 😉 Unfortunately, the same architectural mistakes lead to the same ugly results all over the world...
After this tour, I would recommend you to wind your way down the pedestrian path on the right side of the palace. Back to the part where the port is located, La CondamineYou will reach and I recommend you to get lost in the back streets after arriving here. Wherever you turn, you will see a flower-like neighborhood. Other than those ugly reinforced concrete buildings I mentioned, you will most likely not encounter a sight that will disturb your eyes.
Monaco is such a beautiful place but so what? Can you swim in Monaco? Of course… For this, I can recommend the coastline on the east side of the Monte Carlo Casino; There are plenty of beaches there, but if you want a more isolated and different place, the natural beach you will see below while walking to the Oceanographic Museum and passing by the giant floor car park is much more beautiful. I haven't had the opportunity to swim around here yet, but I will definitely swim one day; at least I'll dive in 😉
You probably wouldn't consider staying in Monaco, French Riviera As I mentioned in my article, while traveling in this region NiceI recommend staying in . However, if you do something crazy and say "I have to stay in Monaco", then you will miss the end of the rope. Hotel de Paris'also, Le Méridien Beach PlazaYou can stay in or, I don't know, Hôtel Fairmont. You will make me happy if you make your reservations through Pariste.Net 😉
