For more than a century, Monaco stands for one of the main poles of deluxe tourism in Europe. Above the well-known geographic and climatic assets, this state-city managed to guarantee true attraction centers: valorized historical sites, numerous museums, international artistic and sport-related events. On this basis, the Principality boasts an outstanding hotel infrastructure. In Monte-Carlo, four luxurious five-star establishments are concentrated on a small area, thus justifying its elitist destination status.
