Monaco and its most famous region, Monte Carlo, are synonymous with glamor, luxury, and wealth. Located on the French Riviera, Monaco offers an enchanting Mediterranean lifestyle with a glittering coastline, first-class sporting and leisure amenities, and a mild year-round climate. As the world's second smallest independent state, The Principality of Monaco is separated into four traditional quarters-Fontvieille, Monaco-Ville, La Condamine, and the internationally renowned Monte Carlo, home to the Monte Carlo casino. Residents and visitors to Monte Carlo-and more broadly, the entire principality of Monaco-have noted that it is an incredibly clean and safe place to live, and choose between the romantic quartier of the Port of Monaco, high-rises and beaches in the Larvotto quarter, while shopping is a must at the Carre d'Or, or Golden Square.
