Charming nature

Charming nature is one of the reasons to visit Monaco. Monaco, a small royal principality on the Côte d'Azur, is stunning and sparkling (French Riviera). It is possibly the world's most opulent small area, measuring less than two square kilometers. Monaco is surrounded by lush greenery and enjoys warm Mediterranean temperatures. It is a place of extraordinary natural beauty. The landscape, which features a deep blue sea, slender palm palms, and vivid flowers, has a captivating charm.

Le Rocher ("The Rock"), a steep, rocky peninsula that juts out into the ocean and is home to medieval Monaco, also known as Monaco-Ville, is the most striking feature (or the Old Town). The city of Monaco-Ville was established in the 13th century and is filled with quaint, winding lanes and magnificent landmarks. To experience the seductive splendor of the French Riviera, many tourists travel to Monaco. Monaco, which is thought to have the greatest per capita income in all of Europe, exudes exclusivity and excessive richness with its sumptuous five-star hotels, designer shops, expensive boats, and opulent restaurants. Monaco is a popular day trip destination from Nice and is only 30 minutes distant by train. Monaco is a good starting point for exploring the Côte d'Azur, though.
