Country number 25! I just typed them all out to see if I could remember them all. And it’s crazy that I just hit 25. Before we moved to Italy I had only visited 2 countries: USA and Canada. Although I had visited over 30 US states so that counts for something. Anyways while visiting Nice I knew I had to take a day trip to Monaco. I had heard good things and of course wanted to see the famous Monte Carlo casino.
I went to the train station Nice Ville around 11am and bought a ticket unfortunately that train was delayed by an hour. I caught a different train that left 45 minutes later but oh well sometimes that’s the way it goes. Monaco is just a 30 minute train ride from Nice and costs about 4 euro per ticket and the views all along the coast are amazing so get a seat by the window if you can!
Once you arrive at the Monaco train station there are signs for the Monte Carlo casino. You have to walk about 900 meters and the first 3/4 of it is uphill but once atop the hill you get a great view of the bay and the buildings on the hills. The casino lobby is gorgeous. You have to pay to go into the casino and actually play and since I wasn’t going to play I didn’t pay to go in. But you can walk around the lobby and when I was there there as a cool card maze installation.
After the casino I got gelato at Cafe de Paris. Chocolate and Raspberry. It was actually some of the best gelato I have ever had and I eat lots of ice cream so that is saying something haha. I then walked around and went into a few shops while making my way back to the train station. It was a nice stop in Monaco but I was more excited to get back to Nice and relax on the beach.
love, Carlee
