Monaco is a pocket-sized principality where the Mediterranean sparkles against a backdrop of Belle Époque glamour and high-stakes indulgence — but beyond the casino and F1 hairpins, you’ll find a surprisingly walkable, vertical city with terraced gardens, a medieval old town on a rocky promontory, and some of the best people-watching in Europe, all crammed into less than two square miles.
