Small, rich and glamorous are probably the first three words that pop into anyone’s mind when they think of Monte Carlo.

However, that boring description doesn’t do Monte Carlo justice, since this spot is a place that never sleeps due to its renowned casinos, exciting events and lavish lifestyle. Not everyone is lucky enough to live there and visiting Monte Carlo can be a very expensive treat unless you plan your visit appropriately.

Since the budget part is all on you, here’s some help with those must-see attractions; below you will find the top things that any Monte Carlo visitor must experience if they ever find themselves in that precious gem of a destination. Casino de Monte-Carlo Sure, we live in the modern era where pretty much anything you like can be found, bought and experienced online. Fans of gambling can enjoy their favourite casino games on the Internet, while lottery enthusiast can play lottery tickets online; however, as fun and simple these activities online can be, nothing beats the real deal.

Opera de Monte-Carlo While you’re at the casino, you also must check out the Opera de Monte-Carlo, which is actually part of the casino building. The Opera was designed by Charles Garnier and it is widely known under the name Salle Garnier. This marvelous piece of architecture has treated visitors with impressive performances by numerous famous singers including Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar, and Titta Ruffo.

Those that want to take a photo of the circuit should keep in mind that it is built six weeks before the main Formula One event in May and then it is dismantled for additional three weeks; thus, even if you miss the main event, you can still steal a moment and feel as if you were part of it. Finally, in addition to these amazing Monte Carlo experiences, it is highly recommended to explore the entire Principality of Monaco and its other top attractions like the Napoleon Museum, the Monaco Cathedral, and the magnificent Prince’s Palace.
