Overview
A glittering city-state on the French Riviera, Monaco is synonymous with luxury, the Monte-Carlo casino, and its Formula 1 Grand Prix. Superyacht-filled harbors, the old town atop Le Rocher, and the royal palace pack into just two square kilometers.
Getting around
The tiny principality is walkable, aided by public lifts and escalators on its steep slopes, plus buses.
Local etiquette
Dress elegantly; a strict dress code applies at the casino, and beachwear stays at the beach.
Safety
Monaco is one of the world's safest places, with heavy surveillance and police presence; petty crime is rare.
