The Best Places in Europe to Soak Up the Winter Sun

"Best for: Low-season glitzDecember temperature range: 43-61°F Granted, you won’t be donning swimwear on Plage des Ponchettes or spotting A-listers in Nice's beach clubs come December. However, with up to nine hours of sunshine a day, the winter months are ideal for exploring Nice and the surrounding French Riviera towns—without the crowds that flock here each summer. Check out the Christmas village at Place Massena in Nice, spot the pop-up nativity scenes around the city, or pop to glitzy Monaco for a lavish lunch and glide around the ice rink. Where to stay: Anantara Plaza Nice is a luxe urban oasis centrally located for sightseeing and sunny lunches along the promenade. There’s a glamorous rooftop terrace for sea views and destination restaurants ideal for those occasional rainy nights. A version of this article originally appeared on Condé Nast Traveller." - David Annand, Connor Sturges

"At five minutes before noon every day, the uniformedCarabiniers du Prince performa ceremonial changing of the guard in front ofMonaco'spalace. Though theroyal family still lives in the palace, much of the year there are tours that visit a selection of state apartments, each room dripping with gilt, draped in silk, and decorated with the vast collection of artwork and furniturecollectedby the House of Grimaldi since it began in 1160.As devoted patrons of the arts, the royal familyhosts classical music concerts on the palace grounds every summer. Tickets to see Prince Albert II’s jaw-droppingly impressive collection of antique cars are also available."

French Riviera and Aix-en-Provence: The Essential Road Trip Itinerary | Vogue

"Book a flight that gets into Nice as early as possible, pick up your rental car, and head straight for Monaco. Grande Corniche will be the quickest route and takes you up through the mountains, but if you’re willing to spend the extra time to drive along the coast, take Basse Corniche. If you can swing it, arrive at Prince’s Palace by 11:55 a.m. to watch the changing of the guard and tour the royal family’s official residence." - Christina Liao

Fairytale & Legendary Palace They do not come much better than the Palace of Monaco. On the seaside, with fantastic weather a few soldiers and canons to guard the entrance. This is it, really nice and really enjoyed our visit here. The change of the guards is also interesting & very nice to watch. Overall fantastic experience!

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the history of Monaco and it's monarchy. This palace is the seat of the royal family and still plays an active role in the government. They recommend purchasing admission tickets in advance online, but tickets can also be bought at the gift shop across the plaza. You will have to go though a security screening to enter the palace. The tour is self-guided, and an audio-guide in 11 languages is included with your ticket. An entire wing is open to the public, so allow at least an hour if you want to see everything. The audio-tour dives deep into the country's history, and I found it very interesting. Each room features beautiful artifacts, furnishings, and vivid information. Guide-led tours are also available, but must be booked in advance. If you plan to visit the nearby Oceanographic Museum on the same day, you can purchase a combo ticket to both for a reduced rate.

The Prince’s Palace tour was a beautiful, compact journey through Monaco’s royal history. The interior rooms, though limited in number, are richly decorated with Renaissance frescoes, tapestries, chandeliers, and marble flooring. The audio guide (included in the ticket) was surprisingly well done—clear, informative, and available in multiple languages. One of the highlights was the Changing of the Guard at 11:55 AM. It’s a must-see and adds a bit of pomp and tradition to the visit. Be sure to arrive at least 15–20 minutes early to get a good viewing spot. The palace grounds also offer stunning panoramic views over the harbor and city—perfect for photos. While it’s not as large or extravagant as some European palaces, its charm lies in its detail and setting.

Gorgeous palace with well commented visit. You get a little speaker at the entrance and use each number to trigger a short 2-3mn comment. About 1h visit with several remarkable moments.

Visiting this palace turned out to be a great experience! Interiors are simply astonishing, and most of them are still in use from time to time. Audio guides are available and included in the ticket. The whole tour should take about 1,5 hour. Definitely worth visiting!

A wonderful and lavish palace located on the main hill that overlooks Monaco. It is home to the Royal Family of Monaco, and is open for visits. Though the area the public can visit is rather small, it still gives you a glimpse and some information on how the family Grimaldi lived and lives. The interior is really beautiful and the palace is well maintained.

Had planned my trip from Nice to Monaco such that I could witness the Change of the Guard ceremony that takes places outside the Palace. Although it occurs daily, it is slotted only once at 11:55 AM. So do plan your visit accordingly. Didn't enter the place but continued onward around Le Rocher.

A nice small but stunning well maintained palace. Many chandeliers, art work hanging. Can visit and cover it in an hour. Expect a lot of tourists. They give audio guide devices. Nice overall!
