If it comes to a city-state, it seems difficult to distinguish its regions. Since February 2007, Monte Carlo is considered the administrative territory and center of the eponymous commune of the Principality of Monaco. This area of the country is located on the Mediterranean rocky coast, eighteen kilometers from Nice Airport.
Monte Carlo is the most expensive and sophisticated fashionable tourist center of Europe. He gained world fame thanks to the magnificent beaches, casinos and rallies. Here passes the track of the world famous Formula 1 race of the Monaco Grand Prix. Among other things, Monte Carlo (traveler reviews confirm this) is a place of accumulation of aristocrats, so the rest here is expensive and fashionable.
This district owes its appearance to King Charles the Third, who established a casino in the place of the present commune of 1865 - the prince thus tried to escape from the impending bankruptcy. To his delight, the casino began to bring fabulous profits, and already in 1870, Charles the Third not only improved his financial condition, but even abolished taxes for all residents of the state. The casino was named after its creator, Monte Carlo. Hotels and luxurious restaurants today surround the gambling house. The interior decoration delights with its rich halls, excellent artistic canvases, exquisite frescoes, and unique sculptures. Famous brands are concentrated in the district - it is not for nothing that this territory is called the “golden mile”.
Representatives of high society relax in Monte Carlo in private villas and beaches, but there is also the only public beach in Monaco - Larvotto. The favorable climate makes it possible to bask in the sun all year round, but for tourists, the period from May to October is considered the best time to relax.
You can spend time in Monte Carlo not only on the beach or in the casino - there are also interesting sights to see here. If possible, be sure to visit the Japanese Garden and St. Charles Church, built in 1883. Those who admire world art can enjoy ballet and theater performances regularly held here, concerts of symphonic and chamber music, opera performances, antique exhibitions, circus festivals and other cultural events. The January rally in Monte Carlo and the May stage of the Monaco Grand Prix also attract tourists. And in July-August, at the height of the tourist season, this part of the country is lit up by hundreds of lights - this is how the participants of the fireworks festival demonstrate their programs .
Monte Carlo is also one of the best mud and thermal treatment centers in the world. Unique recreational factors make it possible to strengthen the health of vacationers: water saturated with useful compounds, sea air, plenty of sunny days, as well as developed infrastructure. Provided here and outdoor activities. Famous guests are offered golf courses, tennis courts, squash courts and archery.
