'I spent six hours in one of Europe's most expensive countries - one thing surprised me'

Monaco is the second smallest independent state in the world (Image: Alycia McNamara) While on holiday in Nice in the South of France, I decided to take a day trip to Monaco - one of Europe’s most exclusive destinations. Hopping on the train, which takes less than half an hour, you really can’t miss the opportunity to see both Nice and Monaco as part of the same trip. Just a few hours or a day trip is enough to see everything in the small mircostate - I spent around six hours there in total.

function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.setAttribute('src','https://live.

primis.tech/live/liveView.php?s=114945&playerApiId=v114945');document.

getElementById('ovp-primis').appendChild(el)}window.top.

addEventListener('primisPlayerInit',e=>{try{if(e.detail&&e.detail.

playerApiId==="v114945"){if(window.document.getElementsByClassName('jwplayer')[0]){e.

detail.float('disable')}}}catch(e){}});window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',()=>{setTimeout(()=>{if(typeof flagTcfLoaded!=='undefined'&&flagTcfLoaded===!0){loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.

Log('[Load] OVP flagTcfLoaded',new Date())}else{document.addEventListener("tcfLoaded",()=>{loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP tcfLoaded',new Date())})}},1500)}) Considering the reputation Monaco has, I was surprised to see how small the place really was.

After six hours, it felt as though surely we'd missed something and there was more to see, hidden somewhere that we hadn't yet discovered. However, this was not the case a.
