Monaco is an easy day trip from Nice. The bus ride from Nice to Monaco only cost 1EUR, about a quarter of the price of a train ride. The ride along the coast was more beautiful than words could describe it. Perhaps it was because we visited Monaco on a Sunday that I didn’t find anything memorable about it. Or perhaps the only thing worth seeing, according to the postcards, is the casino in Monte Carlo.
Maybe I’ll return again for the Formula 1 event someday. If only it wasn’t a city whose main attraction is its expensiveness. I could have easily skipped the 5EUR I paid for a 0.5L of bottled water, but that’s a lesson learned.
Then there’s the other thing to consider: the thrill of being able to say, “I’m going to Monaco today.” Say it out loud. You can’t deny the sexiness in which that sounds.
