Monte-Carlo Attractions

The district of Monte-Carlo occupies a rocky promontory to the north of the Port of Monaco and it is a popular tourist destination. Its most elevated part is crossed by streets with shops and offices, including the Boulevard Princesse Charlotte (in the west, the headquarters of Radio/Télévision Monte-Carlo), the Boulevard des Moulins (pavilion of the Office de Tourisme at its southwestern end; a short distance to the north is the Church of St-Charles of 1883), and the Avenue de la Costa with its many luxury shops.

Monte Carlo is most noted for its glamourous atmosphere as it is considered Monaco's wealthiest district. The glamour also attracts famous people, who in turn attract visitors to Monte Carlo for "people watching".

There are a number of notable events hosted by Monte Carlo such as the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, championship boxing bouts and fashion shows to name a few.
