Overview
Take a trip to Monte Carlo on your Monaco vacation.
Monte Carlo, Monaco is an iconic enclave on the French Riviera, radiating glamour and extravagance. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, a Belle Époque masterpiece, stands as a beacon of high-stakes elegance with a facade adorned with intricate sculptures, enticing both gamblers and architecture enthusiasts. Listen to the roar of engines during the annual Formula 1 race, a thrilling spectacle that unfolds amid the city's sleek avenues that make the Grand Prix circuit carved through the city's heart.
The Prince's Palace of Monaco dominates the skyline. This medieval fortress turned regal residence, perched atop a cliff, offers dramatic views of the Mediterranean. Stroll through the charming streets of Monaco-Ville, the old town, and discover the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, a neo-Romanesque gem, where the former Princess of Monaco and American-Monegasque actress Grace Kelly rests.
Embrace the refreshing contrast to the city's grandeur in the Larvotto district, where Larvotto Beach's azure waters and pristine sands invite you. Enjoy a moment of contemplation amidst koi ponds and Zen landscapes at the adjacent Japanese Garden. Indulge in Monte Carlo's culinary adventure that mirrors the city's sophistication. Enjoy a meal at Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris, with its three Michelin stars, crafting exquisite Mediterranean-inspired dishes that elevate local flavours to a symphony of taste.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
