A glamorous city-state on the Riviera

Monaco

Monaco is the world's second-smallest country — just 2 km² of yachts, casinos, palaces, and Formula 1 history packed onto the Côte d'Azur. It's compact enough to walk end to end in under an hour, and most visitors come as a day trip from Nice. The mix of fairytale palace, Belle Époque casino, and supercar showroom on every corner is genuinely unique.
