you absolutely, definitely have to have a wee in the harbour ... that's what I was told by a local anyway

So the only advice so far is to have a slash in the harbour? Surely there must be more to Monaco than that :-)

From nice if possible take the coast route.. Amazing scenery
Sit at cafe de. Paris in Monaco square and watch world and their supercars go by.
Drive around f1 track
Evening meal try sass cafe
Casino also worth visit
Have a drink in American bar at hotel de paris
Walk along the harbour and look at super yachts
Eze village above Monaco is also worth visiting

If you have a car head West to St Paul de Vence
And North up to Col de Turini

So we flew in to Monaco by helicopter, got fleeced at cafe de Paris (to be expected around here I guess) but christ were there some gorgeous cars driving through there. Never seen so many exotic cars (most of which seemed to be driven by people who didn't look a day over 25....b*stards) - gonna be an expensive couple of days but hey, you're only 40 once. Thanks for the tips guys, will check out some more tomorrow...

Oceanographic museum, Prince's car collection. (over at Fontvielle).

Dinner at Amici Miei is good value and relaxed.

There's a gym to use along the tunnel its part of the rowing club, some good clothes shops and a hottie works at a cafe at the end of the harbour on the right, you won't get ripped off either.

Great suggestion, there are some amazing roads as you head up the hills and out of Monaco. It's a great place, if you can afford it, do a pleasure flight.

Might be worth hiring a small boat and cruising/spot of lunch on the boat.

Nice is also a great place, lots to do there too.
