Monaco is synonymous with wealth and luxury. The opulent city, which is also the world’s second smallest country, lies on the Mediterranean Sea in the fabulous French Riviera. On this walking tour, you’ll promenade from one end of the glamourous city to the other, taking in its main sights and also going off the beaten path to find its lesser-known corners. You’ll explore the popular Monte Carlo District, renowned for Monte Carlo Casino, Opéra de Monte Carlo, and the very famous (and equally dangerous) Formula 1 Fairmont Hairpin Curve.
