monte-carlo vs. couple One of world’s smallest states, Principality of Monaco surprisingly has much to offer. It is an interesting and diverse place. The capital, Monaco Ville, is a pleasant little town, complete with the royal palace, city walls, grand buildings and overpriced restaurants. The other parts of the state are less picturesque. It is in fact a modern city state, which attracts rich gamblers and Formula 1 lovers. However many understand that it is just a big one-city-state. This is not entirely accurate. There are actually a few towns. They are adjacent to each other and it is impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins, but Monaco is not equivalent to Monte Carlo. There are four main districts of the country: Monaco-Ville, an historic seat of the Principality, located upon the rock where the Prince Palace stands. Monte-Carlo, the district surrounding its famous casino; La Condamine, business and residential part around the Port Hercule harbouring world's largest and flashest yachts. [edit text]  [editors]
