Monte Carlo short breaks - Extraordinary Monaco
Monte Carlo weekend breaks feature one of Europe’s most glamorous cities: a legendary name intimately associated with the amazing, tiny, idiosyncratic principality of Monaco. Monte Carlo city breaks offer an exciting and often surreal glimpse of the life of the absurdly rich and famous with their opulent yachts, grand hotels, smart restaurants and celebrity lifestyle. Monte Carlo short breaks will satisfy the most exacting diners and shoppers, with elegant cafes, classy restaurants and famously chic shopping streets featuring top designers and jewellery. Apart from its sense of style and the opulent wealth on show, the principal attraction of Monte Carlo city breaks is the fabulous sunny climate and the undeniably spectacular setting on a rock face overlooking the glittering Mediterranean of the Côte d’Azur.

Monte Carlo city breaks - Legendary casino
All Monte Carlo city breaks should include a visit to the Grimaldi family Prince’s Palace, the cathedral tomb of Princess Grace, and of course Monte Carlo’s legendary casino with its turrets, cupolas, chandeliers, gaming rooms and fabulously romantic terraced gardens overlooking the sparkling harbour.
