On the Mediterranean Sea, tucked into the Alps, Monaco is only minutes from Nice and the Italian Riviera. With seven centuries of monarchical heritage and internationally renowned as being the cultural centre of Europe, it is no surprise Monaco has a colourful history filled with barbarians and kings.

Monaco's streets also play host to the world's most famous Formula 1 Grand Prix, Europe's sporting highlight of the year, where a short stroll along the harbour will display some of the world's most expensive and luxurious yachts.
