montecarlo

Debunking the myth of Monte Carlo's inaccessibility, we treat ourselves to a weekend in the smallest and most exclusive principality in the world, only to discover, in fact, that—whether because of the low season or the absence of major events—the state ruled by the Grimaldi family isn't all that out of reach for ordinary people's wallets; in the old town you can have lunch for 10-15 euros, while the excellent parking service located a few steps from the oceanographic museum lets you park practically in the very center at very affordable prices.
