Travel Guide
Monaco
Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a sovereign city-state and micro-state on the French Riviera. It sits less than a mile west of the Italian region of Liguria in Western Europe on the Mediterranean Sea. Despite being the second smallest nation, Monaco is famously the playground of the rich and famous. The historic principality is filled with grand casinos, designer shopping, opulent bars and clubs and a manmade beach, attracting celebrities and vacationers year-round. But donโt think getting around is easy, the cityโs twists and turns built into the mountainside are quite confusing.
