Monaco, 6  March 2025 – In a twist that surprises absolutely no one, Monaco has been officially been named the Best Destination in Europe. With its unrivalled blend of glamour, gastronomy, and gorgeous Mediterranean views, it seems the rest of the continent has finally caught up to what we've always known: nowhere does it quite like Monaco.

Why? Allow us to remind you.

1. Michelin Stars, Everywhere You Look

Monaco boasts an impressive number of Michelin-starred restaurants, proving that small really is mighty. From the legendary Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse to the contemporary delights of Blue Bay, dining here is nothing short of an art form. And with the exciting opening of La Table de Marcel Ravin, foodies have yet another reason to book a one-way ticket.

2. The Best Weather Money Can't Buy

Unlike other destinations that flirt with unpredictable forecasts, Monaco delivers sun-soaked perfection nearly year-round. Here, the Mediterranean climate means long, warm summers and gentle winters—so you can sip champagne on a yacht in January without judgment (or a coat).

3. A View So Good, It Should Be in a Museum

Perched on the edge of the French Riviera, Monaco offers picture-perfect panoramas of the Côte d'Azur that even the most seasoned travellers struggle to believe are real. Whether you're taking in the view from the iconic Prince's Palace, a suite at the Hôtel de Paris, or the deck of a superyacht, one thing's certain: Monaco's backdrop is impossible to outshine.

4. The Most Exclusive Address in the World

Ever wonder where the world's elite vacation? Look no further. Monaco isn't just a destination—it's an experience of ultimate luxury. The newly revamped Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo and the ultra-modern One Monte-Carlo residence redefine opulence, proving that Monaco doesn't follow trends—it sets them.

5. The Only Place Where Fast Cars and Fine Art Collide

Monaco isn't just about high-stakes glamour; it's a cultural powerhouse. From the Monaco Grand Prix, where F1 legends battle it out on the streets, to the world-renowned Monte-Carlo Ballet and Grimaldi Forum's contemporary art exhibitions, the principality is as fast-paced in culture as it is on the racetrack.

6. Where the Yachts Outshine the Silver Screen

If Monaco had a national pastime, it would be super yachting. The Monaco Yacht Show is the most prestigious event in the industry, attracting the finest vessels and their equally impressive owners. Here, the harbour is a floating red carpet, and the sea is the ultimate runway.

7. The Casino That Inspired James Bond

Monaco's Casino de Monte-Carlo isn't just a place to try your luck; it's a cinematic masterpiece. Featured in Bond films and frequented by royalty, this legendary establishment is where glamour, history, and high stakes meet under an opulent Belle Époque ceiling. Fun Fact; Roger Moore, the legendary actor who played the iconic role of  007, chose Monaco as his final resting place.

8. A Secret Lab for Ocean Exploration

Did you know Monaco is home to a world-leading marine research institute? The Monaco Oceanographic Museum, founded by Prince Albert I, is not just a museum but a hub for cutting-edge ocean conservation projects. It's a must-visit for anyone passionate about the future of our seas.

And the Best Part? You're Invited.

Monaco isn't just for billionaires and racing champions—it's a destination for dreamers, romantics, and those who appreciate the finer things in life. Arrive by yacht, helicopter, or sheer determination—however you get here, Monaco has a way of making everyday life feel just a little more cinematic.
