and now also her field of study and part-time job. And so our adventure began with <strong>house sitting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, seven years later, we receive enquiries from all over the world and choose what fits into our year of life design. It's a clear example of how to create a win-win between people. Travellers know that their homes and animals are in good hands - and we get a meaningful experience in return.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\"

After a few online conversations with the nice Australian couple living there, we knew: this will be our autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it had been over 25 years since Helena had last been to Monaco - and then only for a short wedding visit. Like many others, we probably had preconceptions. Luxury, space, fast cars. But those would soon change.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1677453664\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-750002724 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2987702032\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3275567343\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale (588 x 158 px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider750002724 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-750002724\" );$freedslider750002724.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider750002724.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider750002724.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider750002724.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider750002724.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-varm-vind-och-italienska-fonsterluckor-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varm_vind_och_italienska_fonsterluckor\"><\/span><strong>Warm attic and Italian shutters&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We travelled smoothly from Gothenburg to Nice by plane, then on by free tram and then train to Monaco. As soon as we got off the train, we were inspired by the beautiful station with its cosy wooden panelling. On this particular evening, someone magically played the public piano that is free to use in the station - it felt like a scene from a feel-good film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stepped out onto Boulevard Princess Charlotte and fell in love at first sight with the energy of the still evening and the warm breeze. The stately Italian villa where our beautiful apartment was located, with its typical green shutters, was completely to our taste. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banner freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2673672587\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-3384627788\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/firstcamp.se\/bra-att-veta\/incheckning-efter-stangning?utm_source=display&#038;utm_medium=Freedom-Travel&#038;utm_campaign=Freedom-Travel-sommar-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-224x107.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-433x206.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"280\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a clear contrast to the modern high-rise buildings that are otherwise common in Monaco - here old and new are mixed in a harmonious way. From our door, we had only a ten-minute walk to the casino and an equally short walk to the sea. We felt at home straight away - and we were soon to love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fran-munktrick-till-skatteparadis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fran_munktrick_till_skatteparadis\"><\/span><strong>From coin tricks to tax havens<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History nerds that we are, we couldn't resist delving into Monaco's fascinating past - right back to ancient Greece. In the 14th century, the Grimaldi family conquered the castle through a clever ruse: Francesco disguised himself as a monk to gain entry through the gate, and the family has ruled Monaco ever since.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1205255980\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-2005040980\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the mid-19th century, the country was in crisis and Charles III was in dire need of income. When the idea of a casino was mooted, it was quickly approved, and new train lines to Paris were laid - success was assured. Monte Carlo, 'Charles' Mountain', was born - one of the four neighbourhoods of Monaco. The casino began to finance the country, and Monegasques became tax-exempt. Today, however, the casino accounts for only around 5 per cent of Monaco's income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-863x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-189x224.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-1295x1536.jpg 1295w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-1726x2048.jpg 1726w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-274x325.jpg 274w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-1200x1424.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-4-600x712.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Narrow alleys in the old town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hemliga-gangar-och-vanliga-manniskor-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hemliga_gangar_och_vanliga_manniskor\"><\/span><strong>Secret passages and friendly people<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Monegasques are really helpful and friendly. Many speak English - Monaco is a bilingual country where French dominates, but there is also a lot of Italian spoken, which made us feel a bit 'at home'. Of course, Monaco is also an international melting pot. Just house sitting means that you quickly get into a context of contacts and community, and having a dog means that you are almost automatically considered a local.<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-4162268761\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88783\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3218697725 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2999032772\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husvagnsbranschen.se\/medlemmar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"HRF new xl 2026-9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2009995436\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r02\/___https:\/www.kabe.se\/se\/nyheter\/kabe-roadshow-2026\/___.YzJlOmthYmU6YzpvOmVkZTIyYjJkNTMxZTZkZjM1YWVhOTViM2NkZTIxMzBlOjc6NDMyYTozYTBkNmIzNGEyZDExNmUyY2ZhYWU3MGNkNzExYmE4ZDUzNjRmYzI5NjgwOTNhNTk5MmZlZDQ2ZTVlNTA3NmVkOmg6VDpO\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"oaddtrip Kabe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3218697725 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3218697725\" );$freedslider3218697725.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider3218697725.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider3218697725.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider3218697725.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider3218697725.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Monaco is built into the mountains, accessibility has been cleverly solved - with lifts, escalators and long walkways linking different parts of the city.

And now we did too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We enjoyed our long walks across the small country - and the ease of day trips to both Nice and Italy, just 30 minutes away by train for five euros along a stunningly beautiful stretch of coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-1024x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-1024x534.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-224x117.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-1536x802.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-433x226.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-1200x626.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5-600x313.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-5.jpg 1736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hotel Hermitage, Louis Vuitton, Metropole Shopping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monaco-en-plats-med-flera-lager\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monaco_%E2%80%93_en_plats_med_flera_lager\"><\/span><strong>Monaco - a place with many layers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turned out that Monaco has many faces.<strong> <\/strong>Sure, around the casino there are beautiful parks, legendary hotels, luxury cars and branded shops like Dior, Rolex and Hermes, but walking past there every day gives you perspective.

During the high season it can otherwise get very crowded. It was at this time of year that we felt the soul of Monaco came out. The ordinary Monegasques were now visible - their sense of enjoying life and creativity in creating events for each other made the place come alive. The word <em>bon vivant<\/em> fits perfectly here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fest-i-rott-och-vitt-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fest_i_rott_och_vitt\"><\/span>Party in red and white&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like true Monegasques, we dressed in red and white - the colours of the flag - for the National Day celebrations. The whole city was decorated from head to toe for several days. It was a delightful mix of stately horse parades, tuxedos and hats, and a lively folk festival with fried fish as the main dish at the charming Condamine market, full of stalls, aromas and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-224x117.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-1536x804.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-433x227.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-1200x628.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-7.jpg 1730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Favourite waitress at favourite caf\u00e9, Market in Beausoleil, View from our window<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-backe-upp-ligger-beausoleil\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"En_backe_upp_ligger_Beausoleil\"><\/span>One hill up is<strong> <\/strong>Beausoleil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to France, or as we did - take the lift up from Boulevard Princess Charlotte to Beausoleil, a French commune. Here you'll find picturesque streets, cosy restaurants and Italian and Portuguese caf\u00e9s where you can enjoy a coffee with a crispy pastry for only \u20ac3.50. For us, it quickly became a favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Fridays there is a market where you can buy fresh vegetables, flowers and clothes. Scruffles loved to stay at the caf\u00e9 after our walks. If you want to rent accommodation, for example via Airbnb, at reasonable prices, then that is also a great option here. You get the feeling of being in Monaco, but at the same time you have access to the French side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-224x118.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-1536x808.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-433x228.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-1200x631.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8-600x316.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-8.jpg 1735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-metropole-marknader-och-mataffarer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metropole_marknader_och_mataffarer\"><\/span>Metropole, markets and supermarkets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, it was nice to eat out, but we loved cooking at home, and that's one of the advantages of <em>house sitting<\/em> - you have access to a complete and well-equipped home. Monaco offers a wide range of dining options. For a luxury experience, visit the Metropole Shopping Centre, where they often offer tastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the best part is the markets. If you want to make an excursion, take the train to Ventimiglia in Italy, just 30 minutes away, to experience their fantastic market. Generally, food prices are no more expensive than in Sweden, and you can find everything you need at U Marche or Carrefour, both with their own low-price brands. We found it was great for basics, giving us the opportunity to treat ourselves to what really matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-224x118.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-1536x811.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-433x229.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-1200x633.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9-600x317.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-9.jpg 1732w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Walk, walk and Larvotto beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beacher-yacht-club-och-soldack-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beacher_Yacht_club_och_soldack\"><\/span>Beacher, Yacht club and sun deck&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wonderful thing about Monaco, apart from the mild climate, is the great outdoors and all the sporting activities that surround you. We never tired of walking by Port Hercules and past the Yacht Club, where there was always something going on - sailing training or rowing competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking through the Champions promenade park (famous for having the feet of eminent people embedded in the ground) with its interesting sculptures, then finishing at our favourite caf\u00e9 at Larvotto Beach, was one of our best experiences. There we felt at home with the friendly staff and could take a dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fun activity was to take the little boat across the harbour (for just 1.5 euros) and walk back up to Monaco-Ville, the old town where the castle is located. Once there, a staircase leads up to an outdoor gym and a fantastic sun deck with swimming ladders. Someone might be doing yoga, sunbathing or reading a book. And when you look down from the edge, you'll find magical little beaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this is free and accessible to anyone. Afterwards, take a short cut by lift up to the famous Oceanographic Museum, and you're in the beautiful old town at the top of the cliff. There you can continue through the lovely Jardin Saint-Martin park and up to the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-224x117.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-1536x803.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-433x226.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-1200x627.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-10.jpg 1737w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hidden beach in Monaco-Ville, Oceanographic Museum, Sun Deck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-ovantat-bra-arbetsplats\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"En_ovantat_bra_arbetsplats\"><\/span>An unexpectedly good place to work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best surprises of the autumn was our workplace. Novotel, a more modern hotel around the corner from us, had a coworking concept and a lovely lounge with a library feel. There was free coffee and access to the pool, all for a surprisingly modest monthly fee. Perfect for important meetings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tested it for a whole month and then we ran some days there. Being able to work in a focused way, go for a swim and end up listening to jazz at after work was actually ... life design for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-metropol-och-en-liten-kuststad-i-ett\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"En_metropol_och_en_liten_kuststad_i_ett\"><\/span>A metropolis and a small coastal town in one<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cultural scene is impressive for such a small place - opera, ballet, cinema, art exhibitions and many events going on. And in those days, it was geared to ordinary people's wallets, with some free activities. Everything is within walking distance, and for those who prefer it, there are bicycles everywhere for a few euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You'll feel the pace of the city in some places and at some times - there's a high pulse, quick steps and cars whizzing past. But in other places it's just as peaceful, and those contrasts were something we really appreciated. Sundays are quiet. In the morning there are few people, the smell of freshly baked croissants in the alleys and only a few luxury cars slowly gliding through the quiet streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-224x118.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-1536x806.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-433x227.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-1200x630.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Monaco-bild-11.jpg 1741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tre-personer-tre-manader-ovarderligt\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tre_personer_tre_manader_ovarderligt\"><\/span>Three people, three months, priceless<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do you rate our three-month stay in Monaco? It is not really possible. Because value isn't just about money, it's also something personal.

Great days, new insights about ourselves and the opportunity to explore yet another culture in depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the best part? We made new friends - both in Monaco and in Nice.
