The dwarf principality on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea is an exceptional state in all respects. Its area barely exceeds two square kilometers, on which high society life and many expensive pleasures are concentrated for those who are not particularly used to counting money. The beach resort of Monaco and its famous casino, the most important stage of the Formula 1 championship and the Monte Carlo rally regularly attract wealthy and accomplished travelers who prefer luxurious pleasures as a magnet.
Try your luck
It is advisable to come to the Casino of Monte Carlo in evening dresses, because the history of this gambling club, like its traditions, goes back a century and a half, when the principality decided to raise its own income in such an unusual way. The tradition of playing in Monte Carlo has taken root, and the casino, as before, serves as a place where thousands of visitors from different parts of the world try to argue with the fate.
From 9.30 am to 12.30 pm you can get to the casino halls with an individual or group excursion. After 14.00 the game time starts and the entrance becomes possible only for individual clients. At the entrance to the main and oldest gambling establishment in Europe, you may be asked to present an identity card, as visiting it is not allowed to persons under 18 years of age.
Cheer for your own
Formula 1 Grand Prix racing is a popular sporting event that wakes up the Monaco resort and kicks it up. Only the best pilots in the world become participants, and therefore the spectacle is bright and inimitable. In recent years, Russian Formula 1 racers have been increasingly appearing in rather high ranks of the rating protocols, and therefore a domestic tourist in May has a real chance to cheer on his own at the Formula 1 stage in Monaco.
Festival schedule
Numerous festivals and holidays are held on the territory of the Monaco resort throughout the year, and therefore your visit to the principality can be timed to coincide with what interests you:
- January gathers circus lovers at the international arena masters festival. Literally after him, a television festival starts, where the best programs are shown, and the most popular TV presenters walk the red carpet.
- In March, the resort of Monaco is flooded with illusionists - participants in the congress of magicians, and in April - sculptors who came to share their experience with each other at the festival of modern sculpture.
- Monaco welcomes music and flower professionals in May, while magnificent fireworks light up the skies over the principality in the midst of summer, in July.
