Overview

Take a trip to Monte Carlo on your Monaco vacation.

Monte Carlo, Monaco is an iconic enclave on the French Riviera, radiating glamour and extravagance. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, a Belle Époque masterpiece, stands as a beacon of high-stakes elegance with a facade adorned with intricate sculptures, enticing both gamblers and architecture enthusiasts. Listen to the roar of engines during the annual Formula 1 race, a thrilling spectacle that unfolds amid the city's sleek avenues that make the Grand Prix circuit carved through the city's heart. 

The Prince's Palace of Monaco dominates the skyline. This medieval fortress turned regal residence, perched atop a cliff, offers dramatic views of the Mediterranean. Stroll through the charming streets of Monaco-Ville, the old town, and discover the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, a neo-Romanesque gem, where the former Princess of Monaco and American-Monegasque actress Grace Kelly rests. 

Embrace the refreshing contrast to the city's grandeur in the Larvotto district, where Larvotto Beach's azure waters and pristine sands invite you. Enjoy a moment of contemplation amidst koi ponds and Zen landscapes at the adjacent Japanese Garden. Indulge in Monte Carlo's culinary adventure that mirrors the city's sophistication. Enjoy a meal at Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris, with its three Michelin stars, crafting exquisite Mediterranean-inspired dishes that elevate local flavours to a symphony of taste.

I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
