In the Heart of Monaco: Guided Tour of Monte Carlo & Mareterra - TOUR IN ENGLISH
Who hasn’t mentioned Monte Carlo when referring to Monaco? Yet it is merely a district of the Principality, named after Prince Charles III.
Without Monte Carlo, Monaco probably wouldn’t be the must-visit destination it is today. A symbol of prestige and transformation, this place has become a global legend in just a few decades.
It all began during the Belle Époque with the influx of aristocrats who came to gamble at the Monte Carlo Casino, propelling the city-state onto the international stage.
We’ll tell you the fabulous story of this now-iconic neighborhood—a capital of both gaming and culture, as well as the birthplace of an unprecedented urban vision.
Today, this epic journey continues with Mareterra, a new eco-neighborhood built over the sea, bringing together the biggest names in contemporary architecture. A technical feat that carries on Monaco’s bold tradition while addressing the environmental challenges of tomorrow.
Combining historical heritage, anecdotes, and contemporary challenges, this tour reveals Monaco in a new light, where the past engages with the future.
