When i was studying in France, i had the opportunity to travel to Monaco. It is a small city-state located on the French Riviera in Western Europe. Monaco's name comes from the 6th century BC nearby Phocaean Greek colony. Referred to by the Ligurians as Monoikos, from the Greek "μόνοικος", "single house", from "μόνος" (monos) "alone, single" + "οἶκος" (oikos) "house", which bears the sense of a people either settled in a "single habitation" or of "living apart" from others. The official language of Monaco is french but most people speak English and Italian.
The landscape is wonderful, you can visit Monaco Cathedral, Monte Carlo Casino, Opera House, Prince's Palace and Oceanographic Museum.
But also apart of the monuments you can also discover some gardens like Japanese Garden. It is gorgeous but not as expensive as you may think. . All the attractions are free (public gardens, the Cathedral etc) except for the inside of the Palace and the Oceanographic Museum.
When i was there i was surprised by the fancy cars, there are incredible fancy cars everywhere. You can feel rich and famous for some hours even if you are not !!!
