Famous landmarks Monte Carlo town

It’s easy to consider a Monte Carlo town as just a tax haven and an expensive place designed just for millionaires, but the city has much more to offer than this vague image of wealth. To begin with, enjoys a spectacular location as part of Monaco, a tiny principality on the Mediterranean.

In the heart of the city is Monaco-Ville, Place du Palais where the grand palace houses belonging to the legendary Grimaldi family. The turbulent family history, studded with glamorous, tragedy and drama, adds a touch of color to Monte Carlo and helps maintain the mysticism of the city. The skyline looks more Manhattan than Mediterranean and the port is full of luxury yachts.

The Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 and Rally of Monte Carlo are the two most famous landmarks.
