If you are visiting or moving to Monaco and need help with finding a place to stay or live, residency card application, translations, contacts for estate agents or financial advisors, boat charters or private chauffeurs, please contact me on kristina@kristinahouwer.com. I speak English, Russian, French, Spanish and Italian fluently and would be happy to help you.

Google maps link to the areas I visited. Note: Google maps doesn’t recognise the seaside walkway from larvotto to the yacht club as pedestrian as it goes through a tunnel but I assure you it is! So best to use that instead of the upper route indicated on the map. Everything else is correct:

  1. Echoing that this was the best, most varied, and most well-presented video on Monaco. I learned SO much! I wish you would do a video on each of the different areas you covered in this one video.

  2. Beautiful, but I am not sure I could live in such a high density environment. I love the tax breaks, but not sure it would be worth it? Enjoy.

  3. I lived in Monaco in 1937 to 1939 then again when Grace Kelly become Princess till 1987. Last time I visited was 2011 , I’m going this spring on my great grandsons family yacht trip this Spring. ❤

  4. The beat playing at the 'port palace' segment of the video is fire. 🔥🔥🔥

    Also, good you recommend it. "Good value for money" in a place like Monaco is a real deal breaker.

    This is the best video I've seen on Monaco on YT. Solid recommendations. Really good job. I'm subbed to your channel now.

  5. As if Barbajuan is anything special 🤣 what about Fontvielle ? I live in Monaco, it’s a great place to live because it’s safe but it’s really not that exciting , and Barbajuan is their only culinary offering 😂

  6. You are so beautiful and extremely elegant! Loved the video. Thank you for sharing the tips. Can’t wait to get to Monaco!

  7. Thanks for sharing your very interesting and informative video presentation of Monte Carlo.
    This was very helpful with my travel planning.

  8. wow! Excellent video! I will arrive to Villefranche-sur-Mer on a cruiseship and would love to visit Monaco even if it is just for a couple of hours! Is it possible to take Uber between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco? Do I have to walk out of Monaco for the Uber to pick me up? I know the train is available but it seems that is always packed to I'm really considering Uber, even if it is more expensive
    Thank you!

  9. Kristina fantastic tour with lots of great insights and tips. Can you do everything you mentioned in this video in just 1 day at Monaco?

  10. Amazing videos. Thanks for all of the helpful tips. My girlfriend and I will be visiting in a few weeks and we will be doing a day trip to Monaco. I am wondering if you know of a good place to drop bags since we are not staying overnight in Monaco. Any recommendations for train station, nanny bags or a similar service? It’s been hard to get clarity online.

  11. It's not just your talent that amazes me, but the way you convey emotions as if you're painting a masterpiece with every performance. I hope to see you one day and tell you this in person."
    "I believe fate made a small mistake by not placing us in the same city, but it still has a chance to fix it!"

    "I once read that the most beautiful moments are the ones that are not planned. Maybe you need a new adventure in a new city with someone who truly appreciates you!"

    "Δεν είναι μόνο το ταλέντο σου που με εντυπωσιάζει, αλλά ο τρόπος που μεταδίδεις τα συναισθήματα, σαν να ζωγραφίζεις ένα αριστούργημα με κάθε σου ερμηνεία. Ελπίζω να σε δω κάποια μέρα και να σου το πω προσωπικά."
    "Πιστεύω ότι η μοίρα έκανε ένα μικρό λάθος που δεν μας έβαλε στην ίδια πόλη, αλλά ακόμα έχει την ευκαιρία να το διορθώσει!"
    "Αυτό που θαυμάζω περισσότερο σε εσένα δεν είναι μόνο η επιτυχία σου, αλλά το πάθος σου που φαίνεται σε ό,τι κάνεις. Λίγοι το καταλαβαίνουν αυτό, αλλά νιώθω πως είμαι ένας από αυτούς."
    "Διάβασα κάποτε ότι οι πιο όμορφες στιγμές είναι αυτές που δεν προγραμματίζονται. Ίσως χρειάζεσαι μια νέα περιπέτεια σε μια νέα πόλη με κάποιον που σε εκτιμά όπως σου αξίζει!"

    "Ce n'est pas seulement ton talent qui m'impressionne, mais la façon dont tu transmets les émotions, comme si tu peignais un chef-d'œuvre à chaque performance. J'espère te voir un jour et te le dire en personne."
    "Je crois que le destin a fait une petite erreur en ne nous plaçant pas dans la même ville, mais il a encore une chance de la corriger !"

    "J'ai lu une fois que les plus beaux moments sont ceux qui ne sont pas planifiés. Peut-être as-tu besoin d'une nouvelle aventure dans une nouvelle ville avec quelqu'un qui t'apprécie à ta juste valeur !"

    "No es solo tu talento lo que me impresiona, sino la forma en que transmites emociones, como si pintaras una obra maestra con cada actuación. Espero verte algún día y decírtelo en persona."
    "Creo que el destino cometió un pequeño error al no ponernos en la misma ciudad, ¡pero aún tiene la oportunidad de corregirlo!"
    "Lo que más admiro de ti no es solo tu éxito, sino tu pasión, que se refleja en todo lo que haces. Pocos lo entienden, pero siento que soy uno de ellos."
    "Una vez leí que los momentos más bellos son los que no se planean. ¡Tal vez necesites una nueva aventura en una nueva ciudad con alguien que te valore como mereces!"
