Why Monaco Could Be the Luxury Vacation Destination You’re Looking For

Monaco

Monaco is a European country on the French Riviera, neighboring the Mediterranean Sea and bordering France on three sides. This beautiful French-speaking country is the second smallest in the world, with under 37,000 residents on 202 hectares of land. And despite its size, that’s a very popular destination for luxury vacation. Here is why.


Despite its size, Monaco is a popular luxury vacation destination for some of the following reasons.

Luxury Accommodation

Monaco is often described as a playground for the rich and famous. As a result, there is no shortage of luxurious Monaco vacation rentals offering sea views and proximity to countless stunning beaches.

Even accommodation options targeted toward travelers on a budget will impress with their quality. Vacationers can book quality single-room apartments in the heart of Monaco from as little as $49 per night and two-roomed apartments from $107 per night. Visitors wanting to treat themselves to a premium hotel experience can rent entire villas with private swimming pools and sea views from $3,000 per night.

Delicious Food

Trying new food is one of the most exciting parts of traveling to a new country, and Monaco doesn’t disappoint. Cuisine in this country is a delightful fusion of southern French and Italian. Wander along the French Riviera, and you’ll likely find no shortage of Barbajuan, a Swiss chard fritter. Barbajuan is a national dish and consists of puff pastry, ricotta, and Swiss chard. You might also love trying a traditional Monaco Bouillabaisse, a type of seafood stew. It’s a taste sensation, with vibrant, locally sourced seafood and flavorful saffron.

Architecture

Whether you have an eye for design or a passion for old buildings, Monaco architecture can’t help but pique your curiosity. Most buildings are influenced by the narrow coastlines and sharp hills bordering this quaint country.

Monaco’s most prominent structures include the Monaco Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate. This neo-Romanesque building boasts cream-colored stone and sits atop a rocky spur. The Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, and Opera de Monte Carlo are other noteworthy buildings worth exploring.

Amazing Beaches

Being able to see beaches from your hotel room is a desirable enough prospect, but being within proximity to multiple beaches is even better. That’s the reality for vacationers choosing Monaco as their travel destination.
