Think sweeping views of the cerulean French Riviera. Or imagine yourself lounging at the rooftop pool, heated at 30°C, with a refreshing drink in hand, as you gaze upon spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Belle Epoque Opera & Casino, and the world-famous Fairmont Monte Carlo Grand Prix hairpin curve. And, to top it all off, having your beloved beside you, your hands intertwined. Life is bliss, right? I don’t know about you but to me, I cannot think of a better picture than that, a more perfect way to celebrate a birthday.

That’s exactly what they did for me. They left me a delicious cake. I went during the summer. It was my first time in Monaco. I quickly realized that the place was packed with tourists and everything was more expensive. So I decided that next time, I would try to go during winter. I suggest you do the same. If you don’t mind delaying your birthday celebration, try and go during the cold season. There will be fewer tourists to navigate through and rates will be a lot less. The only downside is that you will have to deal with the cold weather so be sure to bring enough warm clothes!
