Flower Riviera – Côte D’Azur

The coastal strip that stretches 340 kilometers from Monte Carlo in the west to La Spezia in the east is called the “Rainbow” by the Italians. The region is also known as the Flower Riviera. Experience the much-sung Sanremo, the exclusive Monte Carlo, Antibes, and Cannes.

Day 1 | Arrival Blumenriviera

The journey to the blue coast is already a unique experience. Through the Canton of Basel, you reach the Swiss Midlands with fantastic views of the Bernese Oberland. From Lucerne, you are accompanied by Lake Lucerne, located in a picturesque landscape. After the Gotthard highway leads steeply up to Göschenen, you cross the Gotthard massif through the 16-kilometer-long Gotthard tunnel into the Canton of Ticino. In the evening, you will be warmly welcomed at the hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2 | Monaco and Monte Carlo

The destination for today is the Principality of Monaco, the most densely populated independent state in the world. It is a magical place, nestled among the rocks of the Alps and the blue Mediterranean Sea. It has a reputation as a retreat for the beautiful and wealthy, but the modern state also elegantly connects the present and the past. You will visit the Prince's Palace, the Cathedral, and the Oceanographic Institute (entrance fee). Then, you will continue to the district of Monte Carlo. The famous casino is worth seeing here. On the return trip to the hotel, you will visit the Fragonard perfumery in Èze. Return to the hotel.

Day 3 | Cannes and Antibes

This wonderful drive along the “Grand Corniche,” the coastal road of the Côte d’Azur, takes you to Cannes. The city enchants you with a cultural wealth that is almost unparalleled in southern France. There, you will stroll along the famous “Croisette,” the palm-lined promenade, and have the opportunity to visit the Casino Lucien Barrière. Continue along the coast to Antibes, one of the most historically significant cities on the Côte d'Azur. During a walk, admire the facades, doors, and monuments of Antibes, such as the Cathedral or the Grimaldi Castle. Return to the hotel for dinner.

Day 4 | Sanremo and Dolceacqua

Today, you will head to Sanremo, a small town with a very charming flair. The villas and hotels remind you of the glory of past days. During an interesting walk, you will see the most important sights of the city. Afterwards, you will drive along the coastal road to Dolceacqua, a picturesque village from the 12th century located on a hillside. The crumbling castle ruins, the narrow winding alleys, the typical stone houses, and the medieval bridge are impressive. You will return to your hotel for dinner.
