Monaco
Europe · Western Europe
World's wealthiest country per capita: zero income tax, Formula 1, ultra-luxury.
At a Glance
Monaco
Monaco is the world's second smallest country, a city-state on the French Riviera of casino glamour, harbour-side luxury yachts, and Formula One street circuits. The concentration of wealth and spectacle in such a tiny space gives it a surreal quality. It suits those who want to experience the most extreme version of Mediterranean opulence, and it works well as a short stop on a wider Riviera itinerary.
- Most densely populated country on earth.
- No income tax — which is why half of Formula 1 drivers live here.
- Smaller than Central Park, yet has its own Formula 1 Grand Prix.
