My dear travellers and lovers of unusual journeys, welcome to the new travelogue on the Mr.M blog. After the travelogues from Paris and Nice that won your hearts, it’s time to focus on another pearl of the French Riviera – Monte Carlo. There are places that we read about all our lives, but still surprise us when we finally see them live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monte Carlo is just such a place for me. I first heard about it through countless movies, Formula 1 races, and stories of a casino where fortunes were won and lost. However, none of that prepared me for the moment when, from the rock of the old town, I looked for the first time at the Port of Hercules, full of yachts glistening in the April sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I start today\u2019s travelogue about Monte Carlo, I want to express my special thanks to the\u00a0United Nations World Tourism Organization – UN Tourism<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Boscolo Nice Hotel & Spa<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0for supporting and promoting quality tourism around the world. Their dedication to connecting cultures and destinations is an inspiration to all of us who believe that travel enriches the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONACO, PRINCIPALITY OF OPULENCE AND SPLENDOR ON THE C\u00d4TE D’AZUR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I arrived in Monaco by train from Nice, as part of my series of trips to the Cote d’Azur. The ride takes barely twenty minutes, and the railway goes along the coast itself. Already at the station you realize that you have arrived in a different world. Marble, silence, order, and the feeling that someone had carefully planned every detail. My photographer and I spent the whole day walking through the principality, from the casino to the Duke’s Palace, from the cathedral to the gardens above the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this letter I take you through everything we have seen. I will write about the history that turned a poor rock into the most expensive address in the world. In this travelogue, I will reveal to you what is really worth visiting, how to plan your day and why Monte Carlo has been so popular for over one hundred and sixty years. I promise you one thing: this story is much more interesting than a postcard with yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONACO IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND: THE SECOND SMALLEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the basic concepts, because many people make mistakes here. Monaco is a country, and Monte Carlo is just one of its districts. The entire principality covers about two square kilometers. It is smaller than many Belgrade municipalities, and only the Vatican is smaller than it. Around 38,000 people call Monaco home, making it the most densely populated country in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its tiny area, the principality has everything that large countries have. There is a ruler, a government, a flag, an anthem and even a football club that plays in the French championship. French is the official language, and Monaco uses the euro despite not being a member of the European Union. It is also interesting that the real Monegasques, citizens of the principality, are a minority of the population. The majority are wealthy foreigners who were attracted by the mild climate, security and famous tax policy. Namely, as early as 1869, Prince Charles III abolished the income tax of citizens, and that rule is still valid today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country is divided into several districts. Monaco-Ville is an old town on a rock, the seat of a palace and a cathedral. Monte Carlo is a district of casinos, hotels and expensive storefronts. Condamine includes the harbor, while Fontvieille is a modern quarter that was literally stolen from the sea. You can walk around it all in one day, with good will and comfortable shoes. It is precisely this brevity that makes Monaco the perfect destination for a day trip from the Cote d’Azur.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONKS, SWORDS AND THE ROCK: HOW THE GRIMALDIS CONQUERED MONACO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story of Monaco begins like a movie script. On January 8, 1297, a man dressed as a Franciscan monk appeared on the rock in front of the gate of the Genoese fortress. The guards opened the door to him, believing that they were receiving a man of God. Beneath the mantle, however, was a sword. Francesco Grimaldi, called Malicia or the Cunning, took the fortress with his men that night. With that cunning, the rule of the Grimaldi family began, which has lasted for more than seven centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memory of that event is still around you today. The coat of arms of Monaco shows exactly two monks with drawn swords. Many believe that the very name of the country comes from the Italian word for monk, which makes the legend even more beautiful. The Grimaldi family first held the title of lord, and from 1612, at the time of Honor\u00e9 II, the title of prince. Their dynasty is among the oldest ruling houses of Europe that are still on the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the road to today’s glory was not smooth. For centuries, the principality lived modestly, from olives, lemons and fishing. The hardest blow came in the middle of the nineteenth century. Then the cities of Menton and Roquebrin seceded, and Monaco lost about four-fifths of its territory and most of its income overnight. The country was on the verge of collapse. Salvation came from an unexpected direction, which I write about below.<\/p>\n\n\n

THE CASINO THAT SAVED MONACO: THE BIRTH OF MONTE CARLO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the sixties of the nineteenth century, Prince Charles III made a move that changed history. In 1863, by princely decree, he founded the Society of Sea Baths, the famous SBM, and entrusted it to Fran\u00e7ois Blanc. The French entrepreneur had already run a successful casino in Germany and knew exactly what he was doing. Blanc understood the simple truth: the cube alone is not enough. A whole world of opulence should be built around it, with hotels, gardens, opera and the feeling of entering a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A desolate, rocky plateau called Sp\u00e9lugues was chosen for development, where only olives and citrus trees grew at the time. In 1863, developers built a casino, followed a year later by the H\u00f4tel de Paris. A few years after that, they opened a caf\u00e9 that would become the famous Caf\u00e9 de Paris. Soon the railway arrived, so the European elite began to flock to this coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 1, 1866, the prince named the new quarter in his honor: Monte Carlo, i.e. Charles’ Hill. The income from the game was so great that the state soon abolished the tax on citizens. The small principality, which until yesterday was counting change, has become synonymous with wealth. Rarely in history has a country changed its destiny so quickly, and on a single map. That card was called Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n\n\n

CASINO DE MONTE-CARLO: THE BUILDING THAT INVENTED GLAMOUR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Casino Monte Carlo welcomes you like a theater, not like a casino. Its current appearance is the work of Charles Garnier, the architect of the Paris Opera, who added a dome and a sumptuous hall to the building at the end of the seventies of the nineteenth century. The building also houses the Garnier Opera Hall, opened in January 1879, when the famous Sarah Bernhardt appeared on stage. Since then, gambling, opera and ballet have met under the same roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior left me breathless, I admit without hesitation. The atrium is supported by twenty-eight marble Ionic columns, above which stretches a gallery with frescoes and a stained-glass roof through which daylight pours in. In the lobby you are greeted by a bronze figure of Fortune, the blindfolded goddess of fortune. The symbolism is clear to anyone who has ever sat down at a table with green choya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some practical advice for visitors. Every morning, from ten to three o’clock, the casino opens its doors for sightseeing with an entrance fee. The game starts in the afternoon, when stricter dress codes and mandatory document checks apply. Entry is allowed only to adults, so bring your passport or ID card. An unusual rule is also interesting: the citizens of Monaco are prohibited from entering the gambling halls. That provision dates back to the time of the establishment, so that the local family would not gamble away the property. The principality, it seems, has always known that it is better to live from the cube when you look at it from the side.<\/p>\n\n\n

PLACE DU CASINO: ONE OF THE MOST EXCLUSIVE SQUARES IN EUROPE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The square in front of the casino is a small stage where the world likes to show off. On one side stands the Hotel De Paris, opened way back in 1864, in the basement of which are some of the richest wine treasures in the world. Across the street is the Cafe de Paris, on whose terrace you can enjoy a coffee and watch the expensive cars driving around the square. A few steps away rises the Hermitage Hotel, a masterpiece of a beautiful era, whose pastel facade with Monaco flags I photographed for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area around the square is known as the golden square, the most expensive piece of land in Europe. The shops of houses such as Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Prada were located there, in a new part of the building with glass facades and greenery. A walk through that part of the city is reminiscent of flipping through a fashion magazine. The shop windows are works of art, and the flower arrangements change like theatre scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Louis<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"Prada<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My advice is: don’t let the prices scare you. A walk in this area costs nothing, and provides more impressions than many museums. Sit on a bench in the gardens behind the casino, among hundred-year-old palm trees and fountains. Watch the world go by, from tourists in sneakers to gentlemen in tailored suits. It is precisely in this contrast that the charm of Monte Carlo is hidden. Here, no one feels like an intruder, because the city has been used to prying eyes since the time of Fran\u00e7ois Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n

PORT HERCULES AND THE MONACO GRAND PRIX: THE RACE THAT STOPS THE PRINCIPALITY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going down from the casino to the sea takes you to the Port of Hercules, a natural bay that was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Today, side by side, there are yachts worth as much as entire settlements. The view of the harbor from the heights of the old town is one of the most beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Behind the forest of masts rise the solitaires, and above everything watches the mountain Tet de Chien, the stone watchdog of the principality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My visit coincided with preparations for the Monaco Grand Prix, so I found the city in a special edition. Workers were installing bleachers along the shore, and welcome signs were already hanging above the track. The first race through the streets of Monaco was held back in 1929, and since 1950 this track has been part of the Formula 1 championship. Drivers consider it the most difficult in the world, because there is often not even an inch of space between the car and the guardrail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the Grand Prix turns the principality into an unparalleled stage. Balconies become lodges, yachts become auditoriums, and ordinary streets, which you will walk on yourself, become the holy ground of motoring. That’s why, even outside of the race weekend, you can see tourists taking photos of the famous curve by the casino or the tunnel by the sea. If you don’t mind the crowds, arriving at race time will give you an experience to remember. If you are looking for peace, choose spring or early autumn, when the city breathes more slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONACO-VILLE: THE OLD TOWN WHERE THE HEART OF THE PRINCIPALITY BEATS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On a high rock above the harbor lies Monaco-Ville, the oldest district and the soul of the entire country. I went up to it by a stone staircase that goes through an old gate in the ramparts, the same way that soldiers and merchants passed through for centuries. Already at the top, you realize that you have stepped into another world: instead of solitaires, narrow streets, pastel facades and flags with red and white fields await you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old town seems like a Mediterranean village that happened to be in the middle of the most expensive country in the world. The shutters on the windows are painted olive green, the street lamps hang on forged brackets, and the smell of dough comes from the small bakeries. A stone fountain with a statue of the saint gurgles on St. Nicholas Square, while waiters from nearby restaurants bring out plates of Monegasque specialties. Try the barbaduan, a fried dough filled with Swiss chard, which is considered the national dish here.<\/p>\n\n\n

Through the labyrinth of alleys, you finally emerge on the main road that leads to the palace. At one point, between two rows of facades, the white facade of the Prince’s Palace can be seen, as a reward for walking patiently. This is where I took some of my favorite photos from this trip. First-hand advice: come before ten o’clock in the morning. Then the streets are still empty, the light is soft, and the old town belongs only to you and the occasional pigeon.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONACO-VILLE: THE PRINCE’S PALACE AND THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD AT 11:55 AM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ducal palace stands on the site of a Genoese fortress built in 1215. Since that night in 1297, when Francesco Grimaldi took it by deception, it has been the home of the ruling family. Over the centuries, princes added to it and beautified it, so today’s building combines Renaissance elegance and medieval austerity. In front of the palace is a large square paved with pebbles, bordered by old cannons and acorn pyramids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest attraction of the square is the changing of the guard, a ceremony that takes place every day at exactly 11:55 am. The prince’s carabinieri, a unit founded in 1817, perform it with military precision and the sound of drums. I recommend that you arrive at least twenty minutes early, because quite a crowd gathers. In certain parts of the year, you can also visit the luxurious state chambers of the palace, which is worth checking before your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the edge of the square there is a view that I have absorbed for a long time. On one side, there is a view of the Port of Hercules and Monte Carlo, and on the other, the district of Fonveille and the open sea. From there you can best understand how small this country is and how precious every meter of it is. As I stood on the cobblestones of the square, I thought how few families in the world can say: we have kept this view for seven hundred years.<\/p>\n\n\n

MONACO CATHEDRAL: WHERE PRINCESS GRACE RESTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few minutes’ walk from the palace stands the Cathedral of Monaco, a white stone edifice from nearby La Tirbi. Construction began in 1875 on the site of the first Monegasque church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, built in the thirteenth century. The works were completed in 1903, and the temple was ceremonially consecrated in 1911. Because of that older church, many still call it the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, although it is officially dedicated to the Immaculate Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior exudes a peace you don’t expect ten minutes from a casino. The stone vaults, the red carpet through the nave and the mosaic above the altar create a solemn, almost theatrical scene. It was here in April 1956 that Prince Rainier III and Hollywood actress Grace Kelly got married. That wedding was followed by cameras all over the world, and Monaco got its biggest star overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"White<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Behind the main altar are the graves of the rulers of the Grimaldi family. Among them is a modest plate with the inscription Gratia Patricia, under which rests Princess Grace, who tragically passed away in 1982. Next to her lies Prince Rainier. There are always fresh flowers on the board, left by admirers from all over the world. I stood there in silence longer than I had planned. Few stories combine fairy tale and sadness like the fate of an actress turned princess. Entrance to the cathedral is free, with a request for appropriate clothing and silence.<\/p>\n\n\n

SAINT MARTIN GARDENS: A GREEN OASIS ABOVE THE MEDITERRANEAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just below the cathedral, along the very edge of the rock, stretch the gardens of St. Maarten. It is about the oldest public gardens of the principality, laid out in the nineteenth century. The paths wind between Aleppo pines, olive trees, agaves and whole groups of cacti, and between the treetops the blue of the Mediterranean flashes every little bit. After the hustle and bustle around the palace, this is the perfect place to take a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk through the gardens also brings unexpected sights. On one of the terraces I found a fountain surrounded by ferns, where pigeons were bathing as if they too were part of the scenery. A few steps further, through a curtain of cacti, a view of the roofs of Fonvej opens up. There are also sculptures along the paths, among them a monument to Prince Albert the First, a ruler who loved the oceans and science.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The famous Oceanographic Museum, founded by Albert the First in 1910, rises along the very edge of the gardens. The building is dug into the cliff above the sea and is one of the most beautiful museums in Europe, with aquariums that delight both children and adults. My visit was dedicated to the streets and architecture, so I’m leaving the museum for another visit. However, I highly recommend it to you, especially if you are traveling as a family. In Monaco, where every meter of land is worth its weight in gold, this green oasis seems like a real little miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n

FONTVIEILLE: THE DISTRICT MONACO RECLAIMED FROM THE SEA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the vantage points of the old town there is a view of Fonvey, a district that is the best proof of Monegasque persistence. When the principality ran out of land, Prince Rainier III decided to create it. During the second half of the 20th century, entire hectares of new soil were obtained by filling the sea. Residential blocks with pink facades, marinas for yachts, parks and sports centers have sprung up on them. Because of such endeavors, Rainier was nicknamed the Prince Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fontvieille shows a calmer, almost family face of Monaco. There are no casinos or red carpets here, but there are promenades along the water, fish markets and cafes where locals sit. The crown of the Louis II stadium, home of the Monaco football club, also protrudes above the roofs. It is interesting that this club, although it plays in the French championship, wears the colors of the principality and enjoys the status of national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For visitors with more time, Fontvieille hides a few more addresses. There is a rose garden dedicated to Princess Grace and a collection of old cars of the princely family. My favorite remains the view from the path that descends from the gardens to the marina. On one side, endless open sea, on the other, a rock with a palace, and between them a city that literally grew out of the waves. That picture sums up Monaco best: where others see a border, here they see a building plot.<\/p>\n\n\n

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR VISITING MONTE CARLO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Monaco is simpler than many people think. It is easiest to arrive by train from Nice, because the ride takes about twenty minutes, and the station is located in the very heart of the principality. Trains run frequently, so it’s easy to coordinate your departure with your plans. I honestly do not recommend a car, because garages are expensive and the streets are congested during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One full day is enough to visit the main sights, although two days offer a more relaxed pace. Expect a lot of walking and climbing, but know that the city is helping: a network of public elevators and escalators connects the lower and higher parts of the principality, free of charge. Wear comfortable shoes, and for visiting the casino in the afternoon, bring a more elegant wardrobe and a document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the wallet, the Monte Carlo can be kind to the smart. The changing of the guard, the cathedral, the gardens, the harbor and walks through the old town cost nothing. Coffee on the famous terraces is more expensive than elsewhere, but the experience is part of the price. For a more affordable meal, look for bakeries and smaller restaurants in the old town or around the port. The best months to visit are April, May, September and October, when the light is mild and the crowds bearable. The weekend of the Grand Prix, at the end of spring, is a special experience, but then the prices of accommodation in the whole region go sky high.<\/p>\n\n\n

WHY IS MONTE CARLO SO POPULAR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a whole day of walking I tried to answer this question for myself. The answer, it seems to me, lies in a rare combination of things that don’t go together anywhere else. Monte Carlo is at the same time a country and a stage, a museum and a modern meeting place, a Mediterranean village and the world capital of wealth. More stories are packed into two square kilometers than in many metropolises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popularity was also supported by events that went down in legend. Back in the nineteenth century, the casino attracted European nobility, and later film crews, so some films about a secret agent in a tuxedo were filmed in its halls. Grace Kelly’s wedding gave the principality a Hollywood sheen that has not faded even after seventy years. The Formula 1 Grand Prix brings images of these streets into the homes of hundreds of millions of people every year. Add to that safety, orderliness and a climate with three hundred sunny days, and the picture becomes complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is, however, something less tangible. Monte Carlo nurtures the feeling that excellence is possible, that even the smallest can fight for a place under the sun if they are smart and brave enough. That message stands at the foundation of the country that was saved by one bold idea. Because of her, even those who will never enter a casino or buy a watch from a shop window on the golden square come back here.<\/p>\n\n\n

WHY MONTE CARLO SHOULD BE ON EVERY TRAVELER’S BUCKET LIST<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My dear travel lovers, as I finish this travelogue, the sun is setting behind the rock where the Grimaldis have stood guard for seven centuries. I imagined Monte Carlo as a cold display of wealth, and I found a city full of stories, history and unexpected warmth. I saw a casino that saved the country, a monk with a sword in his arms, a princess resting under a slab of fresh flowers and the stands waiting for the world’s fastest race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ever find yourself on the Cote d’Azur, hijack a day and give it to the principality. Walk from the casino to the rock, stop at 11:55 in front of the palace, catch a glimpse of Port Hercule and eat barbaduan in an alley of the old town. You will find, as I did, that sometimes the smallest countries leave the biggest impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monaco is not just a dot on the luxury map. Monaco is proof that a bold vision can conquer both geography and destiny. And Monte Carlo? Monte Carlo is not retold. Monte Carlo is experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
