Why Monaco matters
Monaco is a city-state with several faces. There is Monaco-Ville, the old rock topped by the palace and cathedral, Monte Carlo with its casino and luxury hotels, and the harbour district where yachts line up. Escalators and lifts carry you through the hillside, and there are gardens and sea views around every corner. You can see a lot in a day.
Talking points
- Public lifts and escalators help with the hills.
- Yachts fill Port Hercules.
- The old rock and Monte Carlo are very different worlds.
