Super Yacht Charters    -   Corporate Entertainment    -    Superior Race Views   -  Hospitality Boats

One of the very best ways to experience the excitement of the race, either privately or corporately, is by chartering a luxury yacht and viewing the race from the aft deck. The bookings are advised to be as early as possible to get the closest spots and the choice of the best charter yachts in Monaco .

Contact us to book your yacht. We will provide the latest superyachts which have a berth in the harbour (Port Hercule) and will be offering Grand Prix accommodation and entertainment packages. You can also browse a selection of Grand Prix  yachts here .

CharterWorld provides the following for the upcoming Event:

- Superior yacht berths in the Port of Monaco near the racing circuit.

- Exclusive private hospitality on yachts which includes five star professional service and of course formula one race viewings.

- Larger groups (of 10-200) and 'all inclusive' events on private yachts with exceptional views of Monaco for special functions and events.

- VIP Access to night spots and entertainment.

- Motor boat charter sightseeing excursions out of Monaco to nearby restaurants and beaches.

Contact us for details on the latest yachts availalbe and for their position in the harbour.

Based locally in the South of France , CharterWorld can offer you the best charter yachts in the region, at the very best rates, to suit all styles and budgets.

There are several ways to enjoy the event. You can watch the races from the stands, or from one of the many roof terraces or hotel balconies along the track but, by far the most glamorous option is to charter a superyacht.

Different ways to charter a yacht during the Monaco Grand Prix:

- Renting a charter yacht right in the Monaco port provides the perfect venue for Grand Prix race watching and receptions, whether private or corporate. At CharterWorld we can help organize all your catering requirements, either with the yacht’s Chef, or in conjunction with outside caterers for larger receptions.

- A crewed boat charter to host a special event is a popular choice during the Grand Prix. There are many beautiful yachts ideally suited for cocktail receptions and parties, having vast deck space and all the technical expertise for on-board entertainment. Some yachts can host up to 200 guests in port, while a few also have special licenses for larger groups at sea (above the usual maximum of 12 guests). For parties, we can also put you in touch with local DJs and professional acts for all your entertainment needs. 

- Chartering a yacht for luxury accommodation offers a novel and practical alternative to finding a hotel. Monaco hotels typically fill up every year as early as six months prior to the Grand Prix, and rates can be very high. Commuting in and out of Monaco is also very difficult at this time, unless you can access the port by sea.

More About Monaco Grand Prix Yachts:

Every year in May, Monaco’s streets transform into the world’s best known racetrack in the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. As well as being a top sporting event, it is also one of Europe's premier social highlights, with many of the world’s top corporations and celebrities visiting the Principality to join in the glamour and excitement of this exclusive event. Many of those who come to stay with their group can also entertain and witness the racing action and excitement by organising accommodation on a Monaco Grand Prix luxury yacht charter.

The Monaco Grand Prix has been held annually since 1929 in the Principality of Monaco. It is a Formula One race which is considered to be one of the most important and prestigious races around the world.

The race consists of the actual city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, which are specially prepared in advance. The cars race down right past the moored super yachts in Monaco harbour. The narrow course is made up of several tight corners, elevation shifts making it the most dangerous and demanding track still used for Formula One motor racing. Although the course makes it difficult for cars to pass, the amazing history and incredible spectacle continue to be considered the jewel of the maximum race category.

"...entertain and witness the racing action and excitement by organising accommodation on a Monaco Grand Prix yacht charter..."

Since it began in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix has been considered as one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 hour Le Mans, collectively the Triple Crown of Motorsport.

The Monaco event spans four days, beginning with practice runs in May, followed by support races and qualifying rounds, culminating in the main event in May. The race consists of 78 laps of a 3.3km circuit, around the narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, and the famous Port Hercule where the boats are moored. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting tracks in the world, with little room for driver error.

The Automobile Club de Monaco, which also runs the Monte Carlo Rally and the Monaco Kart Cup, organises The Grand Prix of Monaco.

The coolest yachts to charter at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix

Heralding the unofficial start of the Mediterranean yachting season, the Monaco Grand Prix brings roaring races, A-lister events and a swell of superyacht titans to the principality each year. The event is one of just two Formula One fixtures on the calendar that can be watched from on board as the yachts moor stern to the track in Port Hercules. Catch the best views of the action from one of these yachts, available to charter at the 2023 race.

Guaranteed to garner plenty of attention, the 60.9-metre Arience is one of the largest charter yachts available for charter at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. She was built by German yard Abeking & Rasmussen and delivered in 2012, featuring interior and exterior styling by Reymond Langton Design . You can enjoy front-row seats to race from her expansive sun deck, but if you want a bird's eye view - head up to the circular observation lounge. Or simply relax and soak in the action from the hot tub on the owner's private deck on the bow. Arience sleeps 12 guests and 16 crew, with plenty of space for parties, too.

Arience is available to charter with Cecil Wright with a weekly rate from €595,000.

Feadship's 43-metre superyacht Go , delivered by the Dutch yard in 2010, has secured a spot in Monaco's Port Hercules. She is one of the largest yachts of her size on the water and features excellent deck space – ideal for catching all the race day action.

Having won a World Superyacht Award for her attention-grabbing, vertical-plumb bow exterior, S oundwave will be sure to turn heads during the Monaco Grand Prix.

But for those looking for some recovery after high-octane-action at the Grand Prix, the top deck of Soundwave is dedicated to wellness, complete with a massage room, steam room and shower area as well as a mosaic-tiled hot tub for unwinding.

Luxury Yacht Charter Monaco

Monaco reigns supreme as the unquestioned summer playground for luxury yacht charters.

Glide into the sparkling waters surrounding the Principality of Monaco aboard a luxury yacht charter and step ashore to soak up the party atmosphere. Monaco is the epitome of glamor and one of the most exclusive capitals in the world.

With a long history of glitz and glamor, Monte Carlo – the principality’s most exclusive district – has been a magnet for the rich and famous for centuries. Offering gastronomic delights, iconic nightlife, and designer boutiques, a yacht charter in Monaco is a mecca of luxury. Monaco may be one of the smallest countries in the world, second only to Vatican City, but it manages to pack in everything you could wish for and more.

The best things to see and do in Monaco

Despite its compact size, Monaco is a luxury destination with a superb selection of things to see and do.

Even if you don’t want a flutter, the famed Monte-Carlo Casino is well worth visiting, located in the Golden Square, Monaco’s most exclusive address. Order a martini at the bar and admire the Belle Epoque building, designed by Charles Garnier and Jules Dutrou, with its many chandeliers and frescoes. Next door, the gilded Hôtel de Paris houses Alain Ducasse’s Michelin-starred Le Louis XV. Alternatively, the late Joël Robuchon’s eponymous restaurant is just a short stroll away at the equally elegant Hôtel Métropole.

This city is also well known for partying, whether aboard your superyacht or in the town at venues such as Sass Cafe, Twiga, or Jimmy’z nightclub.

For those who love to shop, Monaco is a dream with its collection of designer boutiques housed along with Monaco’s Avenue de Monte-Carlo, Avenue des Beaux-Arts, and the Allées Lumières center. From Piaget to YSL and all the other LVMH brands, among many others, there is no bona fide international designer without a boutique in the principality.

For those looking for a bit of pampering while on a Monaco superyacht charter, two spas rule the well-being scene in Monte Carlo: The Spa Metropole by Givenchy at the Metropole Monte Carlo and the Thérmes Marins Monte Carlo, which boasts a vast menu of thalassotherapy experiences.

For those wanting to stretch their sea legs, Monaco has something to offer all fitness capabilities. Wander the old town’s narrow streets in Monaco-Ville and visit the Prince’s Palace and Saint Nicholas Cathedral. If you are a fan of Grace Kelly, head to the rose garden in Fontvieille Park, built in her memory. For additional space in Monaco, check out the Jardin Exotique de Monaco and the Japanese Gardens.

Golf enthusiasts are in for a treat as well, with the Golf Club de Monte Carlo and the Monte Carlo Country Club. Both offer excellent courses with panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea.

Charter Yachts gather for Monaco F1 Grand Prix

By Steph Loseby   24 May 2023

Getting ready for all the thrill and action of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2023 , a dazzling fleet of 122 luxury superyachts are gathering in Port Hercules, Monaco ahead of the 80th edition of the world-famous street circuit race through Monte Carlo.

Heralding the start of the Mediterranean summer season, the  Cannes Film Festival began on May 16 and as the glamorous event draws to a close, the high-profile superyachts in town for the occasion begin migrating eastwards along the coast, making their way to Monaco in time for the next big date on the event calendar: the Monaco F1 Grand Prix . 

Taking place across four days from Thursday 25 - Sunday 28 May, the race brings the South of France alive and promises to be a thrilling spectacle for avid Formula 1 fans, with plenty of VIP social events for the SuperyachtSet to enjoy.

Demand for the Formula One event has proved so popular that every berth in the glamorous Port d’Hercules has been filled weeks ago, with only a few exclusive F1 hospitality packages up for grabs for those wishing to attend.

Things have changed this year as Formula One has taken control of who issues the berths, and with the number of applications massively outweighing the number of spots available for trackside viewing, only a selection of luxury yachts under 55m were lucky enough to secure a prized berth. 

As normal, the larger yachts of around 70m are berthed at the T-Dock whilst additional larger superyachts are berthed in Zone 2. This area provides charter guests with a much greater degree of privacy, yet they will find they are still surrounded by the electric atmosphere of the event. 

We take a look at some of the most exciting superyachts available for charter at this year’s Monaco Grand Prix.

The largest superyacht charter to soak up the atmosphere of this year’s Monaco Grand Prix is the 126m (414ft) yacht OCTOPUS . Bertherd further out of the port in Zone 2, charter guests onboard this Lürssen yacht will be able to experience the thrills of the race in total comfort and privacy.

Boasting a large aft swimming pool surrounded by loungers and a full cocktail bar, a cinema suite and superb wellness amenities, the luxury expedition yacht provides guests with an abundance of spacious areas to chill out and relax as they enjoy the race weekend. 

CORAL OCEAN

Situated along the T-Dock, alongside an array of larger 70m superyachts, is the  73m (239ft) Lurssen yacht CORAL OCEAN . Home to a voluminous sundeck replete with a pool, bar and plenty of seating, guests can enjoy total outdoor living perfection as they sip cocktails, lounge in the luxe seating area and watch tenders whizz by with show-goers. 

Additional yacht highlights include her large beach club and extensive spa facilities which guests can make the most out of during the race weekend. With a crew of 22 on hand to provide outstanding service onboard, superyacht CORAL OCEAN is the ultimate yacht for any luxury yacht charter vacation or event. 

Also berthed along the T-Dock, the iconic 71m (239ft) charter yacht TITANIA is just moments away from the action. Conceived by industry-leading designers, superyacht TITANIA is a firm favorite among her guests and an enduring charter icon.

Fusing opulent design with an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle and a wealth of modern amenities, the motor yacht is perfectly suited to entertaining on a grand scale and makes a great platform on which to host event charters . Home to an expansive beach club, a full-beam observation lounge and a well-appointed sundeck, there is a wealth of space across her four decks in which guests can relax, dine and socialize, all while soaking up the heady atmosphere.

PERSEFONI I

Bagging a spot trackside in Zone 1, the 54m (176ft) PERSEFONI I is in prime position for the race. Refitted in 2021, the Admiral Yachts superyacht is in turnkey condition to host charter guests at the adrenalin-fuelled Monaco Grand Prix and more Mediterranean yacht charter vacations this summer.

For those looking for more privacy during the race weekend, this can be found on her vast upper deck, which features an additional Jacuzzi, full bar and observation lounge, as well as a wealth of convivial social spaces and dining options.

PANDION PEARL

Situated trackside on the straight in Zone 1, the 44m (146ft) charter yacht PANDION PEARL is berthed at an unbeatable location for witnessing the heart-stopping action of the race.

Accompanied by exceptional hospitality provided by Captain Jean-Marc and his dedicated crew, the luxurious Sanlorenzo yacht offers guests a sweeping selection of sumptuous living areas laid out invitingly to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere onboard. Combining sophistication and elegance, the yacht is the perfect platform to enjoy the electrified atmosphere from the comfort and ease of a trackside berth. 

Also soaking up the social atmosphere in Monaco this weekend is the 60m (196ft) SCOTT FREE and the 55m (180ft) superyacht LOON who are ready to enjoy the excitement of this year's Grand Prix.

Luxury VIP packages still available

If you are interested in getting in on the action of this year’s race and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, check out our in-depth article on Luxury VIP Yacht packages on offer at Monaco Grand Prix 2023 , where you discover how you could enjoy some of the best seats in the house and a host of other benefits, including helicopter transfers, GP lounge parties and exclusive F1 access.

Alternatively, check out our comprehensive Monaco Grand Prix Event Guide for all the latest information on getting the most out of your Formula One VIP experience for 2023.

Rent a yacht for the next Grand Prix event

Aside from Monaco, the only other Formula 1 circuit to feature trackside berths is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix , which takes place at Yas Marina on 24 -26 November 2023. Set to provide a fitting finale to the Formula 1 season, the event is the perfect opportunity to charter a luxury superyacht and witness the crowning of the F1 Champion 2023. With an abundance of VIP hospitality packages and after-race entertainment on offer here too, charter guests can enjoy the race weekend in style. 

If you wish to charter a private yacht charter for any upcoming F1 event, please contact a recommended yacht charter broker who will be happy to walk through the different options available to suit you and your guests.

Things to Do in Monaco for an Unforgettable Riviera Experience

Posted: September 5, 2023 | Last updated: September 5, 2023

Located along the Mediterranean shores, Monaco’s principality is more than just a hub for the rich and famous. Beyond its luxurious yachts, grand casinos, and renowned Formula 1 race, Monaco is the perfect vacation spot for those wanting to experience a unique vacation spot. 

Compared to other parts of the French Riviera , Monaco presents a unique fusion of luxury, culture, and cosmopolitan energy in a compact space. Whether you’re an adventurer, a romantic, a gambler, or simply looking to relax in luxury, there are things to do in Monaco for everyone.

Facts About Monaco

• Where is Monaco? Monaco is a sovereign city-state on the French Riviera in Western Europe.
• How Big is Monaco? Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, with an area of just about 2.02 square kilometers (0.78 square miles).
• Monaco Population: Monaco has a population of approximately 38,000 people.
• Monaco Safety : Monaco has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. It has more police officers per capita than any other country.
• Official Language of Monaco: The official language is French, although English, Italian, and Monégasque are also spoken.
• Monaco Currency: The official currency is the Euro (€).
• Head of State : Monaco is a constitutional monarchy with Prince Albert II as its reigning monarch as of 2021.

Best Time to Visit Monaco

Monaco is great to visit any time of year and offers unique things to see, no matter when you come. The best time to visit will depend on your personal preferences.

• Spring (April to June): Spring begins the warm season when temperatures rise and flowers bloom. It’s also the time when the legendary Formula 1 race, the Monaco Grand Prix, is held. While the atmosphere is electrifying, it’s also one of the busiest times, so advance bookings are essential.
• Summer (July to August): This is the peak of the tourist season, and Monaco will be alive with beachgoers and vacationers. Nightlife will be in full swing, and yachts will line the harbor. Outdoor events are happening every week. While the ambiance is lively, it’s also when Monaco is most crowded, and accommodation rates are at their highest.
• Fall (September to November): Monaco becomes a quieter destination as the summer crowds disappear. The sea stays warm enough for a quick dip, and cultural events like the Monaco Yacht Show in September attract a sophisticated crowd. The cooler temperatures make it ideal for walks around the city-state.
• Winter (December to March): Winter in Monaco is a great time to enjoy Monaco’s indoor attractions, from its casinos to its world-class museums. They will be far less crowded than during the high season. While the temperatures are cooler and not ideal for beach activities, its proximity to the Southern Alps makes it a convenient base for those looking to hit the ski slopes.

Monte Carlo Casino

The marquee attraction in Monaco is the Monte Carlo Casino. This jaw-dropping Belle Epoque building was built in the 19th century and is the brainchild of the brilliant Charles Garnier. But it’s not just about rolling the dice and hoping for a lucky streak here. Stepping inside feels like a different world with its stunning decor and detailed sculptures. If you’re thinking of swinging by after sunset, the casino’s dress code is pretty strict after 8 p.m. It’s all part of the vibe, making you feel like you’ve entered a glitzy, old-world movie scene.

Prince’s Palace

Set high on the Rocheror (or big rock), the Prince’s palace is not just a grand building but the actual home of the royal Grimaldi family. Walking up the steps to the palace feels like flipping through the pages of a history book. If you’re around at 11:55 AM, attend the daily Changing of the Guard ceremony. During the summer, you can book a tour through parts of the palace, like the Regal State Apartments. Before you leave, do yourself a favor and take a moment (or several) in the Palace Square. The views over the city and harbor are gorgeous and are a perfect place to snap pictures. 

Oceanographic Museum

Dreamed up by Prince Albert I in 1910, the Oceanographic Museum is a tribute to the magnificence of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, you will see various marine habitats and creatures from all over the ocean. As you explore, check out the aquarium, get up close (but not too personal) with the residents of the Shark Lagoon, and take a stroll to the “Turtle Bubble” on the terrace. This enclosed area is a perfect habitat for sea turtles. The deck also offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. 

The Jardin Exotique

Perched on the cliffs of Monaco’s rugged terrain, the Jardin Exotique offers a botanical escape from the city below. This stunning garden is focused on plants from the world’s arid regions and is packed with cool cacti and unique succulents. As you meander through its terraced paths, you are treated to one of the best views of the principality below. The garden’s elevation and unique microclimate allow for rare species to grow. If you’re into nature, you’ve got to check it out.

St. Nicholas Cathedral

Saint Nicholas Cathedral is a stunning 19th-century Romanesque Byzantine masterpiece in the center of Monaco. While it is beautiful architecturally, the cathedral is also the final resting place for the Grimaldi family, including the beloved Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier. People come from all over to pay respects to the former Hollywood star and her husband. When you step inside, you will see the Great Altar and the impressive Episcopal throne, crafted from pristine white marble. You can even attend a service at the cathedral in Monaco on Sundays. 

Monaco Grand Prix

When you think of Monaco, you probably picture that epic F1 Grand Prix race, right? During race weekend, the typically quiet streets are replaced with the mighty roars of engines of the world’s most elite motor race. The event blends luxury with sheer adrenaline. Tickets are hard to come by, but if you are lucky to score a seat trackside, you will be treated to an energetic crowd and the extreme driving precision of the drivers as they whip around the narrow curves. Remember to book early, as accommodations fill up fast. 

Charter a Yacht

Chartering a yacht from Monaco’s harbor lets you create your own adventure. Rental agencies offer everything from quiet, relaxing getaways to party yachts geared towards celebrations and controlled mayhem. The journey is yours to decide. Sail to the picturesque Villefranche-sur-Mer or venture further into the open sea. And if you need clarification on the best spots, a handy tip is to lean on the expertise of your crew. Often, they’ll know secret coves and perfect anchorages that aren’t on any map.

Enjoy Beautiful Beaches

Monaco is famous for its beaches. The coastlines and bright blue water are perfect for sunbathing and relaxation. Larvotto Beach is a public beach loved by everyone, locals and tourists alike, because it’s clean and right next to some tasty cafes and beachside eats. If you want a fancier experience, Monaco’s private beach clubs are the answer. They might come with a fee, but the trade-off is enjoying a cool cocktail on your private beach lounger in the Riveria sun. 

Monaco is also a playground for watersport enthusiasts. Dive into the blue waters for a day of paddleboarding or feel the adrenaline rush as you jet ski across the water with the iconic Monte Carlo skyline as your backdrop. For those seeking an aerial perspective, parasailing offers a bird’s-eye view of the principality. Consider snorkeling to enjoy a view beneath the surface, teeming with marine life unique to the Riviera. Local water sports rental merchants ensure safety and top-notch equipment to ensure you have the best experience. 

Monaco Nightlife

Monaco doesn’t sleep when the sun goes down. When it gets dark, The nightlife is just ramping up. Whether you’re into fancy clubs, rooftop bars with killer views, or cozy lounges, there’s something for everyone. However, remember that Monaco’s glamour often comes with high price tags. Many venues uphold strict dress codes, so double-check the dress code before heading out. Let’s make it a night to remember!

HSH Prince of Monaco Car Collection

Located in Monaco’s Fontvieille district, the HSH Prince of Monaco Car Collection was created and curated over decades by Prince Rainier III and is now overseen by his son, Prince Albert II. This museum is an ode to the evolution of the automobile. Housing more than 100 vehicles, the collection showcases the elegance of vintage models to the cutting-edge technology of modern supercars.

As you walk through the expansive space, check out the classic Rolls-Royces, the Bugattis, and Formula 1 race cars. This isn’t just a showcase of luxury but a testament to Monaco’s enduring love affair with the motoring world. The models are meticulously preserved, making it a must-visit for car enthusiasts and casual visitors looking to glimpse Monaco’s passion for automobiles.

Cruise the French Riviera

Embark on a self-driving tour of the French Riviera with NiceCar Tour Company. Imagine cruising down the sun-drenched roads in an open-top, three-wheeled vehicle. The wind in your hair and the panoramic views of the Mediterranean to your periphery are exhilarating. When driving your own motor vehicle, you will follow a tour guide who will guide you up and down the Cote d’Azur, stopping at different locations along the way. You will explore small fishing villages, stop at a perfume factory, and take in the breathtaking sights. This is one of the best experiences in the French Riviera. 

Rent a Luxury Car

Renting a luxury car in a place as wealthy as Monaco can make you feel right at home. From sleek Ferraris to elegant Rolls-Royces, the choices available in Monaco cater to every taste, allowing visitors to slide into the driver’s seat of their dream car. 

However, with this elite mode of travel comes the practicality of parking. Monaco’s compact nature, coupled with its popularity, means that parking can be a little tricky. Opt for secured underground parking facilities or hotel valets to ensure your prized rental remains safe. And while driving through the winding streets, remember to soak in the envious glances your luxury ride attracts, but also stay aware of the principality’s strict parking protocols. 

Shopping in Monaco

While Monaco is a haven for the affluent, that doesn’t mean that it only offers a luxury shopping experience. Take a little detour, and you’ll find Condamine Market. This bustling market is perfect if you want to experience local culture. You can savor traditional Monegasque food and buy local goodies.

But if you’ve got a thing for designer labels, Monte-Carlo’s Metropole Shopping complex is your playground. This is where high-end brands flaunt their finest collections, making it a must-visit for fashionistas. You will also find unique boutiques with handcrafted goods and one-of-a-kind treasures that capture the vibe of Monaco. 

Eat at a Michelin Star Restaurant

Monaco offers gastronomic experiences that are nothing short of exceptional. At the iconic Hôtel de Paris, you’ll find Le Louis XV, a three-star Michelin restaurant featuring Riviera-inspired flavors. For those preferring organic delights, Elsa sits by the Mediterranean and serves seafood masterpieces and unique desserts. Don’t forget that no meal in Monaco is complete without indulging yourself with one of its local wines from a local vineyard.

How to Get to and Around Monaco

• Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport (NCE): Located just 22 kilometers from Monaco, this airport is the primary gateway for international travelers. It connects major cities worldwide to the French Riviera. 
• From the airport, Monaco is a quick helicopter ride away (crazy, right?) with the Monacair company for a reasonable price. 

Arriving by Rail

• Monaco-Monte Carlo Railway Station: The Principality is well connected by the French rail system. High-speed trains like the TGV frequently stop here, linking Monaco to French cities and other European destinations.

Navigating Monaco

• On Foot: Given its compact size, many of Monaco’s landmarks are best explored on foot. 
• Public Transportation: Monaco has an efficient and modern public transportation system. The Compagnie des Autobus Monaco (CAM) operates several bus lines that crisscross the principality, making it easy for tourists to hop from one attraction to another. It is recommended to download the Monapass app for tickets.

Renting a Car

• Advantages: Renting a car gives you the flexibility to venture out and explore the neighboring French or Italian Riviera. Multiple car rental agencies are available in Monaco.
• Parking Considerations: Monaco is renowned for its limited parking spaces, and its streets can get busy. It’s essential to be aware of how to park in Monaco. 

Things to Do in Monaco on Vacation

Monaco is a small spot on the map in the heart of the French Riviera, but it packs a big punch that can rival countries twice its size.

You might expect flashy cars and luxurious casinos (and trust me, there is plenty of that), but you will discover that there is so much more.  

While it’s easy to be swayed by its “over the top” reputation, the real Monaco lies in its tiny alleys, panoramic views, historic sites, and the warmth of its people. 

The next time you plan a European vacation, consider Monaco one of your destinations, as the best things come in small packages.
