Awsome! by LWood2277

Everyone from our group loved Monaco. I’m an aquarium enthusiest and I HIGHLY recommend the Musee Oceanographique (Jauque Coustou Aquarium). One of the best I’ve seen. The whole town has a really cool feel. It’s not very big sandwiched in the bottom of France like that but every inch of it is beautiful. The architechture, the cliff lined roads and tunnels. I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about it. I’d go back in a second.

Incredible! One of the coolest places in th world! Tons to do. Awesome hotels, sights, clubs, restaurants! The people are freindly and treat you well. I was treated like garbage in places like Hollywood and Aspen (by the way both absolute slums) and was treated better here than anywhere else I had been. Definitely worth the trip. I would like to return and play some golf here!! One of the few places I have been that exceeded my expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! over 4 years ago

Monaco may be small, but it can still be difficult to get around solely on foot due to the heat or the steepness of some of the streets.

Jump on a city bus to make your life a bit easier – you can pay on the bus and from memory tickets were 1 euro each.

Tiny! by daydreamer

It really is very small – bordered by France on 3 sides and the Med on the other. It makes for a nice day trip (though perhaps only 1/2 day needed) from Nice.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the cafes in the port area seemed to be selling food at “normal” prices. So if you wanted you could have a snack and look at the superyachts moored nearby.

She wasn't referring to the principality's lack of beauty, but rather to the preposterous idea of having a little country, a feudal anomaly, taking up some of the choicest coastline along the Riviera. Hemmed in by France on three sides and facing the Mediterranean, tiny Monaco staunchly maintains its independence. Even Charles de Gaulle couldn't force the late Prince Rainier to do away with his tax-free policy. As almost everybody in an overburdened world knows by now, the Monégasques do not pay taxes. Nearly all their country's revenue comes from tourism and gambling. (read article)
