The Place

Situated at the foot of France, Monaco is a unique little country where mostly the wealthy can afford to reside. Although much of the land is attractive, there isn't a whole lot to do besides gamble at the Monte Carlo Casino. Residents of Monaco live tax-free thanks to the revenue that is generated from tourism and gambling, which says a great deal about your odds of winning! You can easily fit a trip to the Oceanographic Museum, the Monaco Palace, and the cathedral into a two-day visit while spending your nights (and your paychecks) at the casino.
