A Tale of One Opulent Principality
Get a taste of the good life while roaming the fanciful streets of Monaco and Monte Carlo.
Smaller than NYC's Central Park, Monaco is one of the most luxurious resort destinations in the world. Following your guide to must-see landmarks around the tiny quarter of Monte-Carlo, you'll find the famous Casino Square with its legendary casino where three James Bond movies were filmed, spot the luxury yachts floating along Port Hercule's deep waters, and view the official residence of the Sovereign Prince of Monaco — spoiler alert: it's a palace.
