The Principality of Monaco has played a unique and colorful role throughout the history of the Mediterranean and Europe. Today, its undiminished reputation as a glamorous, first class, luxury vacation destination and business and financial center is complemented by its enduring commitment to the arts, the preservation of its own cultural traditions and the protection of the global environment. Monte-Carlo is its most famous district. To explore the attractions of Monaco is to take a step back in time. The Principality’s landmarks, museums and even the grand Belle Époque buildings reflect the colorful history of this storied nation on the Mediterranean Riviera.
