The Experience
Before You Go
Bring your passport
A passport is required for casino entry and sometimes requested at border crossings into Monaco—keep it accessible.
Comfortable shoes for cobbled lanes
Villages like Èze and Antibes have steep, uneven stone streets—sturdy walking shoes make the climbs and descents easier.
Protect against sun and glare
Mediterranean sun and coastal reflections can be intense; sunglasses, a brimmed hat and sunscreen are recommended.
Plan for gratuities
Guides and drivers typically expect a tip; carry small bills in euros to show appreciation for personalized service.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
High visitor numbers can strain fragile village lanes and coastal habitats; stick to marked paths, avoid littering and favor local businesses to support sustainable tourism.
The Riviera served as a coastal crossroads from Roman times—Roman milestones and medieval fortifications still punctuate the shore, later evolving into a 19th–20th century holiday destination for European elites.
