French Riviera East Coast from Nice
Stay in Nice without switching hotels, using trains and buses to connect Villefranche-sur-Mer, Èze, Monaco, and Menton.
Based in the old town of Nice, there is no need to rent a car. Spend the second day on the Cap Ferrat peninsula, the third day climbing up to Èze before heading down to Monaco, and the fourth day in Menton before returning to the airport. While many guides suggest squeezing Èze, Monaco, and Menton into a single day, this itinerary splits them into two days to avoid rushing. The trade-off is omitting western destinations like Cannes and Antibes, making it perfect for first-timers and non-drivers.
Coastal traffic is heavy and accommodations are hard to book in July and August; start your days early during peak season.
