Accommodation & Travel Guide

 Monaco,
officially the Principality of Monaco is a small sovereign city-state located
in South Western Europe on the northern central coast of the Mediterranean
Sea, having a land border on three sides only with France, and being about
16 km (9.9 mi) away from Italy. Its size is just under 2 km² with
an estimated population of almost 33,000. Monaco is the world's most densely
populated sovereign country, and the world's smallest French-speaking country.
An average person takes less than an hour to walk the entire length of
the country. Monaco is the name of the country as well as the name
of its only and capital city. It is often regarded as a tax haven, and
many of its inhabitants are wealthy and from foreign countries, making
up a majority of the population, at around 84%.
Monaco is a constitutional monarchy
and principality, with Prince Albert II as head of state. The House of
Grimaldi has ruled Monaco since 1297, and the state's sovereignty was officially
recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861. Despite being independent,
Monaco's defence is the responsibility of France. |
