Monaco might be petite, but what this French Riviera escape lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in glamour. If you’re looking for a luxury European escape, Monaco dazzles with iconic landmarks like the Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Prince’s Palace of Monaco. You can also walk sections of the legendary Grand Prix circuit or take a tour of Monaco-Ville (Old Town) atop the Rock of Monaco, filled with charming cobblestone streets, cafés, bistros and more.
