Monaco is tiny, but it packs in grand hotels, the Casino de Monte-Carlo, Michelin-starred restaurants and a harbour full of superyachts.
It’s also a brilliant base for the Riviera. Nice, Èze, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the Italian border are all close by, and a helicopter will have you in Saint-Tropez in minutes.
Come for the Grand Prix in May, or for a few indulgent days any time of year.
