If renting a car:
- Nice, Cannes and St. Tropez are nearby
- Drive the "Grand Corniche" road. Think 007 car chases
- Drive the F1 course!!!


I would recommend the same and wouldn't spend more than a day there but would venture west towards Nice. Villafranche sur Mer is a great spot with a beautiful beach and Antibes has the same. I'm not a fan of Cannes.

I was really put off by the "Disney-esque" look/feel to Monaco. Hell, the parking garage is carved out of the bluff under the old town with escalators bringing you 5 levels up to the town, very strange...


Villafranch beach:
