Monaco<\/a> is home to possibly the most glamorous jet-set scene in the world. Just the name Monte Carlo conjures visions of a glamorous bygone era. Along with European hideaways like Lake Como, Gstaad, and St Moritz, this cliffside Mediterranean port has been a timeless playground for the see-and-be-seen crowd for more than 150 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In modern Monte Carlo, the tax-free principality surrounded by France with and squished between the sea and the mountains, that glamour can still be intensely felt. Home to a Grand Prix track, a grand casino, and a busy harbor filled with mega-yachts, extreme wealth is everywhere. But amid all the hubbub, when you visit Monte Carlo it\u2019s still possible to spend a lazy afternoon over a caf\u00e9 cr\u00e8me, amble along the harbor among the yachts, and experience the slow-paced, yet refined, Mon\u00e9gasque savoir-vivre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider tip: When visiting Monaco, skip the car drama and take the train\u2014it\u2019s fast, scenic, and drops you right in the action. Once you arrive, the best way to explore is on foot or by hopping on a bus, with a surprisingly handy network of public elevators and escalators to carry you up and down the hills. Driving sounds glamorous until you hit a wall of traffic, only to discover that even the \u201cguaranteed\u201d valet is full and every nearby lot has a waiting line. Trust us\u2014Monaco wasn\u2019t built for parking. Here’s our guide to Monaco’s transportation options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, head to the Mus\u00e9e d’Anthropologie Pr\u00e9historique. The display includes archaeological findings, artifacts, and fossils. The Museum is also a research institute, carrying out excavation work and laboratory studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collections retrace, throughout the era of the glacial and interglacial periods, the major stages in the evolution of the human race. They show that the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur was also a great place to live for our ancestors, even one million years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
