Days 4-6: French Riviera
Strolling through Nice and Monaco on the French Riviera felt like stepping into a sun-soaked dream. In Nice, I wandered the Promenade des Anglais, the azure sea shimmering to one side, vibrant markets bustling to the other. The old town’s narrow streets were a delightful maze of cafes and shops. Then, a short train ride whisked me to Monaco, where opulence reigns supreme. I marveled at the luxurious yachts, and wandered through the Jardin du Casino and the famed Monte Carlo Casino. Every moment was pure Riviera magic!

Train journey in Europe Days 2-3: Barcelona, Spain & Marseille, France
The train in Spain was insane! My 30 day AI-generated train journey in Europe started off with an unexpected overnight in Barcelona – not a problem, I love Barcelona. A quick walk in the drizzle from the train station to my hotel, Expo Hotel Barcelona and jog on the treadmill at the hotel gym. Dinner with a friend, a wonderful breakfast at the trendy and tasty Honest Greens in the Gràcia neighborhood, a quick manicure, then back on the train and off to Marseille, France.
