Monaco is a sovereign city-state in Western Europe, located on the French Riviera. It is the world's second-smallest country by area, with an area of 2.02 square kilometers (0.78 square miles) and a population of approximately 39,000 people as of 2021. The country is ruled by a constitutional monarchy, with Prince Albert II serving as the country's head of state.

Monaco's official language is French, however Italian and English are frequently spoken as well. The country's religion, which also serves as its state religion, is Roman Catholicism.

Monaco is well-known for its opulent lifestyle, high-end apparel, and stunning surroundings. The Monte Carlo Casino, the Prince's Palace of Monaco, and the Oceanographic Museum are among the country's most recognized structures.

Monaco is best visited between April and June, or September and October. The weather is warm during these months, and the crowds are thinner. The busiest months are July and August, when many tourists travel to the country for its beaches and nightlife. The winter months, from November to March, are particularly ideal for a visit because the weather is still pleasant but there are less people.
