“Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” Gustave Flaubert The enchanting Principality of Monaco overlooking the pristine blue waters of the Mediterranean is a place famed for its glamour and wealth. Monaco is one of the wealthiest and most expensive countries in the world, soaked in the sun and expensive champagne. It’s a home to the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the European Poker Tour and the Monte Carlo Rally. The tiny principality is the jewel of the Mediterranean, with its grand hotels, exquisite restaurants, elegant shops, glitzy casinos and yacht-filled harbor. Its city, Monte Carlo, has long been the playground of the rich and famous. Thanks to its mild climate with nearly 300 days of sunshine per year, most spectacular scenery, a wealth of entertainment, cultural and historical sites, Monaco is undeniably an attractive destination.
