Monaco, a jewel perched on the glittering Mediterranean, pulsates with an energy unlike any other. This sovereign city-state, wedged between France and Italy, packs a punch far exceeding its diminutive size. Within its luxurious confines, iconic casinos rub shoulders with medieval ramparts, and the roar of Formula One races mingles with the gentle clinking of champagne flutes on opulent yachts. Monaco is a playground for the rich and famous, yet offers a captivating glimpse into its unique heritage for every curious visitor.

With an area of 2.02 km2, Monaco is the world's second-smallest sovereign state (after the Vatican). Its mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities have all contributed to Monaco’s reputation as a playground for the wealthy. It is now widely regarded as a luxury destination. But that does not mean it is only accessible to a select few or that you have to break the bank to go. In addition, a rich history is hidden behind the appearance of decadent wealth and extravagance. If you follow these suggestions, you can see and do a lot in Monaco on a budget, even if expensive brand shops, trendy 5-star hotels, and flashy sports cars are not your thing (believe me, they are not mine either).
