Who ever said bigger is better?

For a country that houses the most luxurious  casino's in the world, the most Ferrari's you have ever seen,  the most prestigious Grand Prix event in the world and one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe, it's hard to believe that Monaco is the second smallest country in the world.

Lavish catamaran trips around the bay of Monaco and helicopter tours of the country and the Cote d'Azur will have you feeling glamorous in every way.

Home to a small 30 000 people Monaco is its own Principality and is a short but worthwhile drive from Canne in the south of France.

Better known as being one of Europe's most infamous tax havens, Monaco attracts a number of wealthy foreigners to its shores every year.

Monaco is a playground for the rich and famous and just walking around this small country you will understand why.

Strolling around Port Hercule it is not uncommon to see the most extravagant yachts you have ever seen many with their own private mini helicopters housed on top, going to show the wealth of people who holiday and live in this beautiful country.

Monte Carlo better known as the Casino District is home to a number of prestigious Casino's.

The Monte Carlo casino and Opera House built in 1893 is decorated in red and gold, surrounded by onyx collum's and truly feels like your walking into a palace.

The diversity and uniqueness of the gaming tables make it one of the most prestigious Casino's in the world.

The Casino offers something for everyone, holding exceptional Ballets and Concerts all year around and a number of delicious restaurants and bars.
For those who don't enjoy gambling, the casino gardens and terraces are truly an experience in it's self.

The beautiful array of exotic flowers and plants don't stop in the casino district.

Venturing out to the exotic gardens and observational cave, the heart shaped rose garden home to 180 varieties of roses and the Zoological Park consisting of African and tropical fauna you will really realise how unique this tiny country is.

To really experience the culture of Monaco a visit to the La Condamine market in the heart of Monaco will expose you to tropical colours and smells of the fruit and veg stalls that open every day.

Here you can sit down and enjoy a coffee stroll down the esplanade and enjoy the beautiful flavours and smells of the local cuisine.

The Azur Express has daily tours around the different districts which means getting around is no problem.

Monaco hosts a number of events annually.

The most popular is the Monaco Grand Prix which attracts tourists like a magnet for three days of May every year.

The Monte Carlo Rolex Masters Tennis tournament is another reason to visit. Set on one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world not only can you experience Nadal and Federer up close you get to enjoy the sun and the beautiful Mediterranean Coast.

With so much to see and do in Monaco it really makes it an up coming tourist destination.
