Day trips
Italy is one train stop from Menton: spend the morning in France, have lunch in Ventimiglia or Bordighera and return before sunset.
Day trips
One of Menton's quiet surprises is how quickly the landscape changes: swim in the Mediterranean, then drive into cooler mountains, forest roads, alpine villages and winter snow within reach of the Riviera.
Practical information
Nice Airport is the main gateway for Menton. Train, airport bus, taxi or rental car can all work; the right choice depends on budget, luggage and timing.
Day trips
Menton makes a calm base for Monaco, Nice, hilltop villages and the Italian Riviera: spend the day out, then return to a quieter seafront apartment.
Day trips
Menton is one of the easiest places to stay for Monaco events: close enough for a quick train ride, but calmer than the Principality during major race, yacht, tennis and gala weekends.
Day trips
Menton is not a golf resort town, but it is a useful base for Monte-Carlo Golf Club, Sanremo, compact practice in Nice and easy family mini-golf.
