About 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.
