Getting Oriented in Monaco
Monaco covers just 473 acres and would fit comfortably inside New York's Central Park. (That said, it also reaches a height of 528 feet, so bring some walking shoes.) Despite its compact nature, everybody drives here, whether from the Palais Princier perched on the Rock down to the port or up to Casino Gardens at the eastern tip.
- Monaco. The principality's sensational position on a broad peninsula that bulges into the Mediterranean seduces the rich and famous, as well as those who just want to see how the 1% live. A place where one out of every three people is a millionaire, the microstate bristles with gleaming glass-and-concrete towers several stories high and a sparkling yacht club.
