Guide to Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo virtual tour

Monte Carlo is indeed the most expensive city in the small Principality of Monaco, known for its world-famous casino, opulent nightclubs, and luxurious restaurants. It's a magnet for the wealthiest individuals and adventurous gamblers. Surprisingly, despite the affluence of tourists, crime rates in the city are extremely low, thanks to a well-trained French police force. The iconic Monte Carlo Casino, built in 1863 to rescue the princely family from bankruptcy, is the city's most famous attraction. The parking lot around the casino is often filled with numerous luxury cars like Ferraris, Bentleys, and Rolls-Royces, belonging to gamblers seeking their fortune. Filmmakers have also been captivated by this casino, as it has been featured in several James Bond movies such as "Casino Royale," "Never Say Never," and "GoldenEye." An interesting fact is that citizens of Monaco are forbidden from visiting the casinos and participating in gambling, making it an exclusive privilege for visitors to the country. Even if you don't intend to place bets, it's worth stepping inside to admire the opulent decor of one of the world's most renowned buildings. A ticket to the casino costs 10 EUR.
