Le Grand Casino is the most popular destination in Monte Carlo. It has a gaming room and an opera house. Citizens of Monaco are not permitted to gamble here.
Located next to the casino, the Hotel de Paris is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. It has 175 suites that look out over the Mediterranean Sea.
Because Monte Carlo is located on the Mediterranean Sea, it is a popular destination for luxury boaters and yachtsmen.
