Monaco's Monte Carlo Casino and Place du Casino.

Known for its monarchy [the longest ruling autocracy], the Monte Carlo casino and zero income-tax, Monaco has narrow streets, CCTV cameras in excess, 1 policeman for every 62 residents, a hugely expensive marina and shops, though it is possible to eat and drink for a reasonable price in the port area, particularly around la Condamine, like below.

The cheap and cheerful Stars 'n' Bars cafe/bar/restaurant on Quai Antoine.

One of several blocks of hotel rooms with public gardens and walkways on the roof.

Not like any hotel roof we've ever seen before!

But the main attraction in Monaco is, of course, the Monte Carlo Casino, the supercars parked outside and the big spenders inside.

Monaco is one of those places where no one looks at a Ferrari, it's just too blah.
And don't even think about staying here during the Grand Prix time in May.
