Monaco - Home of the jet set

Monaco, the playground of the rich and famous welcomes you to the greatest festival of speed found anywhere in the world. This all year round destination is home to the most celebrated Grand Prix and some of the best cuisine in France.

Monaco, an ancient principality steeped in a rich and colourful history, is considered by many to be Europe’s most fascinating country. Though the Principality covers but one square mile, it stands as a proud monarchy. Today people visit Monaco and its glittering district Monte-Carlo not simply as a holiday destination, not just to test their standing with lady luck, nor merely to see and be seen, but to revel in the memorable life-enhancing experience that is Monaco. The Principality of Monaco recently celebrated the 700 anniversary of the Grimaldi dynasty. It all began on January 8, 1297 when Francois Grimaldi dressed as a Franciscan monk, seized the fortress protecting the famous rock and the port of Hercules.

Monaco offers a luxury weekend break throughout the year. From the most celebrated Grand Prix to the spectacular circus festival there is always something that delights the senses.
