best places to visit in monaco
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo is officially an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco.
The city includes a few attractions such as the Monte Carlo casino – known as the world’s most famous casino – which was established in the 19th century to save the Grimaldi family from bankruptcy, as well as the Monte Carlo Harbor. The harbor is where the rich and famous dock their expensive yachts. Located in La Condamine, Monaco’s second oldest neighborhood, visitors will find the royal vessel belonging to the Prince of Monaco docked at Port Hercules, among other yachts and ships. Visitors often choose to relax at a waterfront café where they can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Larvotto
Larvotto is part of the quarter of Monte Carlo, in Monaco, with access to the Mediterranean Sea.
Also, Larvotto Beach is Monaco’s only and most popular beach. Since the beach is more pebbly than sandy, you might prefer wearing sturdy shoes for your walk here. While some visitors recommend the beach for families because the sea is quieter, parents should know it is a popular spot for topless sunbathers as well. Some sections of Monaco’s public beach are free to visitors, while others charge admission. The beach is just a few minutes’ walk from Monte Carlo and Avenue Princess Grace runs alongside the beach.
