One of the most interesting spots of the French Riviera, Monaco is an independent principality, a state within a state, located only five miles (8km) from the Italian border and nine miles (15km) from the famous city of Nice.
Besides its rich history and mesmerizing natural landscapes, Monaco is also one of the most luxurious vacation destinations. With a population of 38,000 inhabitants, and a territory smaller than 0,8 square miles/2 square kilometres, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican.
What makes Monaco so popular in the eyes of the people enjoying a high-end lifestyle are its loose tax laws and gambling facilities. These are just some of the reasons why many celebrities and successful business people found their homes in this oasis of luxury.
One thing Monaco doesn’t have is its own airport. Therefore, when flying privately to Monaco, you’ll need to land in either Nice, Cannes, Le Luc, Le Castellet, or Toulon province, however, the most common landing point is Nice. Then, you can either go by car or enjoy a brief helicopter ride to the Monaco Heliport.
