The second stop on our Mediterranean cruise was Monte Carlo, Monaco. I had read that we would be able to see the city from the ship but I wasn’t prepared for the site that lay before me as arrived on deck for breakfast. It was beautiful, especially the very large yacht next to our ship.
The only day it rained on our vacation was in Monaco. The one regret I have is that I didn’t get to do any shopping. By the time we got back to Monaco after Eze Village, we were soaked and all we wanted to do was get back to the ship and take a nice warm shower.
Here is the yacht I referenced above.
How would you like to eat breakfast here?
TO KNOW:
Walking the distance from the ship's dock to the bus stop was fairly easy but, Monaco is mountainous. There are many stairs or steep inclines so do your research so you will know where the free, elevators (lifts) and escalators are located.
Hands down, the best guide to the cruise port in Monaco is Toms Port Guide. He has actual photos with information to guide you. PRINT the information you need and carry it with you. Have it in your hands when you leave the ship and it will make navigating the port much easier.
We walked to the first bus stop (princess) and caught the bus to another stop. From the second stop, we took the bus that carried us to Eze Village. There is information at the first bus stop that will tell you which bus to take. I believe we took bus 112 but you will want to do your research for the most current information.
I can't say this enough, if you are unsure if you are on the correct bus, ask someone! Many times we were unsure if we were on the correct bus or in the correct bus line so we asked people around us. There is usually someone in the group that will be able to help you.
