About Monte Carlo, Monaco

Bigwigs, big yachts, and big bucks are standard in glamorous Monte Carlo, which is part of the tiny, prosperous principality of Monaco. Famous for its posh, high-dollar casino and the annual Formula One Grand Prix, this playground of the rich and famous intrigues visitors from around the world. Formerly one of the poorest states in Europe, the principality got a boost when the Monte Carlo Casino was built in 1865. It prompted a dramatic surge in the economy, and it continues to be a popular attraction today. Extravagant hotels, sumptuous villas, fine dining and some of the best haute couture shopping in Europe make it a perfect hedonistic destination. History and science buffs can get their fill from facilities devoted to naval history, oceanography, anthropology and art. Exotic gardens and sprawling parks also prove enticing. In addition, several museums and attractions tell the fascinating history of Monaco's royalty, the beloved Grimaldi family, and how the region became one of Europe's only remaining autocracies.
