Is Monaco Overrated?
This really depends on what you’re looking for in your experience. Monaco is often considered a glamorous destination, heavily associated with wealth and luxury. If you enjoy high-end dining, casinos, and stunning views, you might find it charming. However, if you’re looking for more laid-back experiences, natural beauty, or cultural depth, it might fall short compared to other spots in the region.
Tips:
– Use the train system for easy travel between towns; it’s efficient and offers beautiful views.
– Try local specialties at restaurants and markets.
– Be mindful of your budget, especially in places like Monaco, where costs can be high.
– Enjoy the local art, culture, and stunning landscapes.
Have an amazing trip! The South of France has so much to offer!
