Monaco: An Aristocrats’ playground

This week we should be hearing the roar of the engines and the excitement building up to one of the last existing Formula 1 street circuits in the world – Monaco Grand Prix. Instead, the streets are silent and racing enthusiasts have to wait until May 20, 2021, for the next race day.

The calendar in Monaco is punctuated by events like the famous Bal de la Rose or the Circus Festival, but Christmas celebrations or Music festivals are  also very popular.

Monaco is the epitome of luxury and style, where else in the world would you watch a Formula 1 Grand Prix from the deck of a yacht, with a glass of champagne? For the ultimate in chic or a chance to hit the jackpot, look no further.

The adoptive home of Grace Kelly boasts Hollywood glamour and the Monte Carlo Casino, by Garnier – a classic feature of so many movies,  elegant cafes, tax free bank accounts and the palaces to match them.

When you choose Monaco as your vacation destination it will include a private helicopter transfer to your hotel, relaxed sailing and ocean vistas.

Monaco may be the second smallest state in the word, but it’s framed by charming French coastal towns and a stone’s throw away from the Italian riviera, making it the ideal base of exploration.
