Hi, I will be going to Monaco for the F1 weekend but want to take my partner up into the hills at dusk and ask her to marry me. My question is where can I get a good view to overlook Monaco at night, Ideally I would like it to be romantic and somewhere we could get to sit and admire the views and not through bushes or a fence. Any help is greatly appreciated.

During the Monaco Grand Prix weekend I am going to be in Genoa Italy. I wonder if it is possible to drive to Monte Carlo Sunday 26th early morning to watch the Grand Prix. I am not looking for an overlooked seat or terrace just being there is is enough for me. Thanks

We will be docking in Villefranche for a cruise on May 11. I asked a tour company about visiting Monaco/Monte Carlo on this day and they have refused as the Grand Prix starts that day. Is it so crowded/crazy that we should avoid the area or would it be possible to take the train on our own? We dock at 8am and should be back onboard by 7pm.

Hello all, My wife, baby duaghter and I would like to travel from Monaco to Milan next June 2011. We wish to know if there is a fast train, a slow train, or if hiring a car is best. Also, any idea of the time involved in the trip, and comparative costs?

Hello, My cousin and I are planning our yearly trip and this year we have decided Monaco and surrounding cities. A few questions 1. Would it be more beneficial to rent an apt in Nice or Monaco? (or just bounch around every day to different cities)? 2. Would it be better to rent a scooter or car? 3. Were both 28 years old, so we still like to check out some clubs or popular bars in the evening (not just Friday or Saturday) 4. What cities would you suggest we visit in one week? Thank you, any information would be very helpful.

Hi there, I've been asked to book a hotel near the Garibaldi Forum. Does anyone know if such a place exists, and if yes, where? I've been to Monaco twice and don't recall this name. I can't find any reference to it in Google. Many thanks in advance! Hayley :)

A real long shot I know, but does anyone have any idea where my other half can get hold of an English to French power point adaptor in Monaco? He left all his adaptors in my case when I flew back to the UK from Geneva and he flew straight to Monaco. He's now got no way of charging his phone or laptop and is supposed to be working in Monaco all week! EEK!! He really needs to get one for tomorrow if possible. If anyone can point us in the direction of somewhere that sells them, excellent! If anyone in the Monaco area is feeling generous enough to lend him one, he will promise to return it on Friday! He's staying at the Hotel Forum if that helps. We'd really appreciate any help anyone can give us. Thanks in anticipation! Jules x

I am 78 years old and use a cane for assistance. My cruise ship is docking in Ville Franche and I would like to gamble at the Place du Grand, the Monte Carlo Casino. I can not walk a mile up the hill. How can I get access to the Casino? The shore excursions offered will only get visitors as far as the Rock of Monaco, but not to the door of the casino. What do you recommend?

Hi, In April and May, three friends and I will visit the seven smallest states of Europe. Does anyone has any tips on camping near Monaco?

Other budget ideas are welcome too! Thanks, Fiepke
