Monaco
The Crown Jewel of
the French Riviera
Nestled between the borders of France and Italy on the French Riviera, lies the Principality of Monaco, one of the most famous resort destinations in the world. Known for its opulence, its nightlife and stunning views of the Mediterranean, Monaco offers excitement and romance for honeymooners from around the world.
Monte Carlo, the administrative area of the principality, boasts some of Monaco’s finest treasures for couples to enjoy. The Salle Garnier, or Opera de Monte Carlo, is an exact replica in miniature of the Paris Opera House, complete with frescoes and sculptures and decorated in rich red and gold. Home to possibly the world’s most renowned gaming establishment, the exquisite Place du Casino is legendary with the charm and atmosphere of days gone by.
Experts and novices alike will enjoy the diversity of the table games set amongst a rich backdrop.
The streets of the city are lined with French café’s, Italian trattorias and the finest shopping beyond compare of Paris, London or Milan. Take a stroll along the Avenue Saint-Martin and enjoy the stunning coastal views, cliff side gardens and the Monaco Cathedral. Visit the Chateau Grimaldi, residence of the royal family; or tour the Jardin Exotique or Oceanographic Museum.
A dramatic coastline featuring the cascading Alps into the rich blue of the Mediterranean makes for picture perfect portraits to remember your visit. The Colum-bus Hotel located on the Avenue to Papalins and edging the ocean shoreline, is a “Riviera Chic” venue. Whether it is relaxing in one of their finely appointed and luxurious rooms, soaking in the sun by the pool or enjoying the Southern European fare from the Brasserie on the terrace, the Columbus will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning guest.
