Dont want to carry too much or too little. Whats the average cash people carry when travelling around Monaco?
I found Monaco expensive but manageable. My daily budget was €100 because I picnicked with groceries, used the free beach, and only splurged on one €20 entry at the museum. Drinks in Monte Carlo were pricey, so I skipped the nightlife. Staying in Ventimiglia, Italy, kept lodging cheap. For those willing to cut corners, you can enjoy Monaco for €100-€120 daily without diving into full luxury.
My average spend in Monaco was €150 daily. I stayed in Menton for €60, ate €20 lunches, and treated myself to one fancy dinner for €80. Free activities like wandering the Japanese Gardens and the palace area balance costs. Transport is cheap, but food and drinks push the budget higher. If you keep lodging outside, €150-€200 a day is realistic.
I went for the full Monaco experience and spent €400 a day. My hotel in Monte Carlo was €250 per night, dinners along the marina €70-€90, and cocktails at Jimmy’z were €25 each. Walking around the old town is free, but honestly, luxury defines Monaco. If you want to see the casinos, rent a yacht for a day, or splurge on designer shopping, expect €300-€500 daily.
Monaco is definitely not a budget spot. I spent about €180 a day staying in Nice and taking the train (€5) into Monte Carlo. Coffee at Café de Paris was €7, entry to the Oceanographic Museum €18, and dinner at a mid-range restaurant €40-€50. If you skip hotels in Monaco itself, you can enjoy the sights and beaches without insane costs. For budget travellers, €120 daily works if you sleep outside Monaco.
