Monaco

Monaco, the second smallest country in the world, is nestled on the French Riviera and is synonymous with luxury and glamour. Known for its Grand Casino in Monte Carlo, the Prince`s Palace, and the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, it`s a playground for the rich and famous. Stroll around Port Hercules, admire the luxury yachts, or visit the Oceanographic Museum, founded by Prince Albert I. The Jardin Exotique de Monaco offers stunning views of the city and a vast collection of outdoor succulent plants. Despite its size, Monaco has a diverse culinary scene, from Michelin-starred restaurants to quaint cafés, offering dishes like barbagiuan, a stuffed pastry, and fougasse, a sweet bread flavored with orange water and decorated with nuts and aniseed.
