01 — About Cool Monaco
We make the smallest country feel huge.
CoolMonaco.com started as a notebook of a harbour kid who grew up counting masts in La Condamine. Today it's the most human guide to Monaco: where princes, mechanics, croupiers and DJs share the same 2 km². No clichés. No paid fluff. Only streets we walked, plates we tasted, sunrises we didn't sleep through.
From the Rock of Monaco-Ville to the mirrored towers of Monte-Carlo, from the fish market to Jimmy'z at 4am — we cover heritage, gastronomy, sailing, F1, art, wellness and smart luxury. How to live Monaco coolly, even on a day trip from Nice.

Good to know before you go
What is Cool Monaco about?
Cool Monaco is an independent English-language guide to the Principality: Monte-Carlo lifestyle, yachts, Formula 1, hotels, beaches, food and day-to-day practicalities. We live here and update for 2025-2026.
How many days do I need in Monaco?
One intense day covers icons, two days lets you add beach + museum, three days = perfect slow Riviera rhythm with Èze and Menton side trips.
Is Monaco expensive?
It can be, but smart choices help: bakeries, market, free viewpoints, public beaches, €2 buses. Luxury is optional, views are free.
When is the Grand Prix?
Late May each year on city streets. Expect crowds, road closures and sky-high prices — and an atmosphere like nowhere else.
How to get from Nice Airport?
Train from Nice-Ville (25 min), direct bus, taxi/Uber (35-45 min) or helicopter from Nice Airport (7 min) to Fontvieille heliport plus shuttle.
Where to swim?
Larvotto (redeveloped, restaurants, reserve), Le Meridien Beach Plaza (private chic), and just over the border: Roquebrune and Menton.
