The Magnificent Capital of Monaco

Monaco is a unique European state. It is included in a small list of principalities that have not lost their sovereignty since the days of feudalism. Today it belongs to one of the most popular tourist centers. The Principality consists of four parts:
- Monaco-Ville ("old city"),
- La Condamine (port city),
- Monte Carlo ("new city"),
- Fontvieille.

The capital of Monaco is even smaller, but despite this there is everything for cultural entertainment and entertainment: restaurants, dance clubs, stadiums where the competitions of Formula 1 and others are held, all this attracts a lot of tourists.

Being one of the best resorts on the Cote d'Azur, the principality accepts about 3 million tourists a year. That is why the main income of the country is brought by the tourist business. Some people consider it a matter of honor and prestige to have a bank account in Monaco, and many, based on this, register their companies on one of the main streets of the principality. This fact prompted the top managers to increase the rates for real estate rental very much. To date, the capital of Monaco provides for the rental of areas with very large rates, even at European level.
