Car Hire in Monaco - Mini guide to Monaco

Monaco

A thriving oasis for the rich and beautiful, the luxurious resort city of Monaco has long been a prestigious spot for those with stacks of money. Set in the south of France, Monaco is home to one of the world’s most famous casinos, a beautiful palace and a bustling marina, making it a must-visit place for all who can afford to holiday here.

One of the most dominant landmarks of the city is Monte Carlo Casino, which draws a number of gamblers from around the world. The building stands proudly on a hill across the bay, boasting stunning neo-classic architectural style. A favourite haunt for affluent Europeans, this is where you can rub shoulders with celebrities, superstars and famous politicians.

Another enchanting venue in Monaco is the Royal Palace, which was built in the 13th century. The palace’s elegant architecture complements the rich history of the city. Monaco Cathedral is also not to be missed. Housed in this stunning white stone building are the tombs of former princes of Monaco.

Other notable sights in Monaco include the Musee Océanographique, possibly the best aquarium in Europe; Musée d'Anthropologie Préhistorique, displaying fascinating prehistoric artefacts; and the captivating Exotique Jardin, a garden with a variety of exquisite plants and flowers.

In the afternoon, you can take a stroll around the marina to gasp at sleek, multi-million dollar yachts and classy seafood restaurants and cafés. Not far from Monaco are many other places that are worth a visit.

Hiring a car is a great idea to get the best out of Monaco and its equally glitz-and-glam neighbours. Nice and its international airport are about 45 minutes away by rental car. Book you Monaco car hire online in advance to save disappointment.
