Things to do in Rocchetta Nervina

Watch from the sidelines as professional drivers race around the Monte Carlo Formula One Track, the route that some call the world’s most difficult grand prix. The twisting streets of Monaco are tricky for the drivers, but undeniably thrilling for the viewers. Visit when the Grand Prix is not running and follow the course through town to see some of the principality’s most recognizable sights.

Admire the Belle Époque grandeur of Casino Monte-Carlo during a morning tour through its marbled halls. Spend an evening playing at one of its many gambling tables. The elegant venue and smartly dressed patrons make this a popular destination for people looking for a gambling experience of the highest class. The famous casino attracts more than gamblers; it’s also popular among lovers of the arts who come to see ballet, opera and classical music in the Salle Garnier concert hall.

Monaco Harbor stretches almost the entire length of the principality and includes some of the most impressive landmarks that the small country offers. Stroll along the lively quays, stopping at museums and palaces along the way, or step aboard a water taxi and view the sights while drifting on the Mediterranean.

With its sloping glass roof, sleek interiors and oceanfront location, the eye-catching Grimaldi Forum isn’t easily overlooked. A diverse program cements its position as one of Monaco's prime venues for events and arts. Admire the cutting-edge 21st-century architecture or attend one of its many year-round events.

The glamorous excesses of the Grimaldi family have made the Prince's Palace (Palais Princier) in Monaco-Ville a monument to decadence. The State Apartments, functioning as a museum for most of the year, feature brightly colored frescoes and ornate chandeliers. See what life is like for the rich and famous by walking through the immaculately decorated rooms.
