A treasure trove of glitz and glamour awaits on an exclusive two-mile coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. High-rollers, professional athletes and international stars flock to Monaco in droves. Although packed with flashy sports cars, luxury apartments, super-yachts and unlimited entertainment, this rocky promontory does not lack for culture and history. The sovereign family ensures that the principalitys distinguished heritage is preserved and appreciated. And its over-the-top opulence is merely equal to its charm. The newly designed Foster Partners Yacht Club de Monaco stands in stark contrast to the monumental baroque building housing the Muse Ocanographique de Monaco. The Nouveau Muse National de Monaco, which showcases the latest in contemporary art, is a complete 180 compared to the Princes Palace of Monaco, which dates to the twelfth century. Yet it all exists harmoniously within two hundred hectares of land.
