About this experience
Monaco is an amazing place, covered with rumors and mysteries. You will hear its extraordinary history, see the main sights and secret corners, and enjoy splendid landscapes. I will help you discover the principality from different perspectives and feel its unique atmosphere.
What to Expect
All 'visiting cards' of Monaco
We will meet at the exit of the train station, next to the charming chapel of Saint Devota. Then we will head to the historic part of the city, where you will admire the majestic Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, the active church, and the burial site of the Grimaldi dynasty. Also, the palace where the family of Prince Albert II resides to this day. Next, we will move to the most densely populated area of the city - Monte Carlo. You will learn whose name it bears, peek into the legendary casino, and hear its intriguing history. Finally, I will show you a section of the Formula 1 track - the most dangerous and at the same time, the slowest one.

You will discover all the most interesting facts about Monaco: what mark Coco Chanel left at the Monte Carlo Casino, how one of the princes expanded the territory of the tiny state by 25 hectares, how many kilometers Monaco is entitled to 'take' from the Mediterranean Sea, and where the world's largest wine cellar is located. Also: why Monaco's prison is considered the most comfortable in the world and how much it costs for a prisoner to stay for 1 day, what the city will be like in 2025, and how many square meters should be built in the principality every 10 years to sustain its existence.
