Monaco
When people think of alluring Monaco thinks that come to mind are expensive yachts, stylish buildings, and elegant boutiques, but also its casinos, fast cars, and glamorous residents – including a handful of Formula One drivers.
Last but certainly not least, Monaco is practically synonymous with glamorous evenings, whether at a private soirée, a high-end casino, or an elegant event aboard a yacht. Here you can feel the Mediterranean taste of life.
Lodged between Italy to the east and France to the west and north, Monaco features its exceptional geographical situation, with the Mediterranean Sea on its doorstep, and its luxurious dwellings surrounded by steep cliffs.
Monaco is not legally part of France but an independent principality, with its own royal family who has ruled Monaco since the 13th century. Despite its independence from France, most laws and the defense of Monaco are linked closely with those of France.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo is the central area of Monaco around Monte Carlo Casino, the Café de Paris, and the Opéra, which was built in the 19th century by Charles Garnier (also responsible for the Paris Opera). The inside of the opera building really is worth seeing for its opulence and grandeur. Casinos have been shaping Monaco and making it legendary since 1863.
Visitors from all over the world are drawn to the lively Principality for its extensive range of fun activities.
