Monaco & Monte Carlo
This three-square-kilometre pincipality is independent from France, and they pack a hell of a lot into this tiny country. In Monaco-Ville you can see the Prince's Palace, and Jacques Cousteau's famous Oceanographic Museum, while down in Monte Carlo you have beaches, casinos, and a harbour packed full of awesome yachts. While the Monagasque Royal Family gets the attention of the French tabloid press, the whole world watches each May for the Monaco Grand Prix.
