The '''Principality of Monaco''' is a city-state in [[Western Europe]].
That's a small wealthy town on the seashore. There's probably not very much to do for the kind of people that are this wiki's audience, except walking in the old city and in the center and a couple of museums (especially the famous 'Musée Océanographique' if you're interested in sealife). One day is usually more than enough. Really overcrowded in August.
= Leaving It's a small wealthy town on the city =Donseashore. There't expect s probably not very much to hitch out theredo for the kind of people that are this wiki's audience, take except walking in the old city and in the center and a train to [[Nice]] couple of museums (or Saint Laurent du Var especially the famous 'Musée Océanographique' if you're going to hitch westwardsinterested in sealife) or to [[Ventimiglia]] if you go east. Another, cheaper solution is the bus TAM 100, going from [[Nice]] to [[Menton]] on the Italian border, the fare One day is 1,50 € regardless of the distanceusually more than enough. It stops at Place des Armescan get really overcrowded in August.
It is also possible to get to a servicestation directly for direction to Italy.Just take bus 11 direction to "La Turbie" and get == Hitching out at intersection D 2564/RD 63. Bus starts in front of the tourism office close to the casino in monaco.From there it's around ten minutes walk to the service station. Follow Route de Menton eastwards and take the second road left going up the hill. The bus costs 1,50 € (october 2014).==
Northwest Instead of hitchhiking from the city itself, one typically takes a public transportation out to a hitchhiking point. === West towards [[Nice]] === You can get a train to [[Nice]] or Saint Laurent du Var. If you dont want to take a train to Nice, you can go by walk to the gas station on A8. From Monaco center it took 2.5 walking but it definitely worth it, I got a ride to Barcelona in 30 min. Its hard to describe how to got there, and you definitelly will need a map for that. I was using MapsMe app. This is the coordinates of that gas station 43°45′16.86″N 07°23′53.91″E First you need to get to the village La Turbie. Take bus 11, leaving from the tourism office close to the casino, once in an hour, in the direction ''La Turbie exists also '' and get out at the bus stop "Mont Angel". Then walk up the street "Route de Mont-Angel" for 600 meters, then to the left into "Chemin du Col de Guerre", in maybe 30 min you will reach the bridge above the highway, after 5 min more walking you will reach the gate to the gas station, when I came, almost midnight, it was closed, so I just jump over it. But, I guess, you can ring the bell and someone will open. Take in mind that all way from Monaco to this gas station requeries to go UP. So think about whether you need it.  === East towards [[Italy]] === Take bus 11, leaving from the tourism office close to the casino, once in an hour, in the direction ''La Turbie'' and get out at the bus stop "D 2564/RD 63". From there it's around a 10-minute walk to a service station on the highway towards Italy. Follow the street ''Route de Menton'' eastwards and take the second road left going up the hill, be careful about the cars, the road is narrow and cars are going fast. The bus costs 1.50 € (June 2017). Another possibility for leaving in the direction of Italy is bus TAM 100, which goes from [[Nice]] to [[Menton]] on the Italian border. The fare is 1.50 € regardless of the distance. It stops in Monaco at the Place des Armes. When you want to go further to italy *DO NOT* Stay at the peage there, it‘s almost everytime Full of italian border-Police and they will fine or warn you and they will tell you, Thats illegal in Italian to Autostop.The best solution is to use the petrol station right behind Monaco and ask to NiceDrive further than Sanremo because it could be hard before. ( we waited more than 6 Hours and still got nothing, we had to walk there.. ) maybe you will be luckier but its your risk :/Cannes.
== Circuit de Monaco ==
See how fast you can complete one lap (timed from the moment you start waiting on the side of the road, until the moment the car you're in crosses the line). Sanne and [[User:Tmoon|Tom]], hitchhiking as a pair, completed 1 lap in about 9 minutes (we forgot to time exactly) on 10 May 2009. If you are in Monaco, give it a go, time yourself and let the world know how you did!
== Sleep ==
Ofcourse it's better to find a place to sleep in a nearby cities, because it's hard to find a good place for a tent in Monaco. I can recommend you one place in Italy, before the French border. If you age going from Italy, it's a really only one good place on the way from Ventimiglia to Monaco. Trust me, i made all this way on foot and check everything along the road. Two kilometres before the border there is a tunnel Galleria Mortola, after you pass this tunnel, turn left and you will see railway and the small bridge for pedestrians that cross this raillway. Cross it and you'll see nice green area on the rock with amazing view on a night Monaco.
 
You can also walk from Monaco toward France, near the Route de la Plage Marquet is the beach it situated near Le Lampar restaurant. I slept there, without using a tent, just in sleeping bag and noone bothered me. At the morning you will got just amazing view.
