Monte Carlo

A treasure trove of glitz and glamour awaits you on an exclusive two-mile coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. High rollers, professional athletes and international stars flock to Monaco. Although packed with flashy sports cars, luxury apartments, superyachts and unlimited entertainment, this rocky promontory is not short on culture and history. The sovereign family ensures that the distinguished heritage of the principality is preserved and appreciated. And its over-the-top opulence is simply equal to its charm. The newly designed Foster + Partners Yacht Club de Monaco contrasts with the monumental Baroque building that houses the Musée Oceangraphique de Monaco. The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, which showcases the latest in contemporary art, is a complete 180 compared to the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, which dates back to the 12th century. Yet it all exists harmoniously within two hundred hectares of land.
