Nice, Monte carlo and cannes

I will be in Nice in 2 weeks time. I would like to travel to monte carlo and cannes. I will only have 2 days to visit these 2 places. Could someone suggest of what is the best way and less expensive way to travel. I kinda get the idea but would like to know more of what i should do around these areas. I am sure i will be arriving in Nice first. However, should i go to monte carlo first or cannes?

The cheapest way is also the slowest - with two days only, perhaps time should be your most precious commodity, not a few euros?

The cheapest way is coach from Nice Gare Routiere - the TAM 200 to Cannes (2 hours, cost 1.30 euro each way), and TAM 100 Monaco ( a bit less than an hour, also 1.30 euro each way)

The train to Cannes costs around 10 euro return, but takes only a little over 30 minutes. Monaco likewise takes 20 minutes and costs around 8 euro return.

Your call.

As for which to do first, look out of the window - and check the Meteo on TV. Monaco often has cloud hanging around the mountains behind and the weathers not often perfect - its the one to do if weather is mixed. However I rather think Cannes looks at its best only with an azur blue sky.

There is little else to suggest one rather than the other , unless we are talking Sunday - much of Cannes shopping will be closed, hereas Monaco sights are open Sundays.

Cheers
