With an area of only 2 square kilometers, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world but has many billionaires, yachts, and top attractive casinos.

With an area of 2 square kilometers and a population of more than 36,000 people, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, after the Vatican, but is famous for its wealth such as yachts, casinos... To know how small and rich this country is, let's compare. This country is less than 1/3 of the area of District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, but has an estimated average GDP in 2023 of more than 240,000 USD/person and holds the highest position in the world. A report from Knight Frank Wealth shows that Monaco is the land of millionaires and billionaires when 32% of the population are millionaires or more. 1 in 3 people in Monaco is a millionaire or billionaire.

Monaco is famous for the world's largest casinos such as Monte Carlo and this is also the name of the F1 racetrack - Monaco Grand Prix, the most famous in the history of high-speed sports . Or Port Hercule always has hundreds of yachts anchored. Some figures show that Port Hercule in Monaco has 760 berths for yachts to anchor with an average price of more than 1,300 USD/day and can reach up to 3,800 USD at peak times...

So when arriving in this country bordering France and Italy, visitors can immediately see the prominent marina right in the center.

Tại nhiều nước, du thuyền là điều hiếm lạ thì ở Monaco vô cùng phổ biến, quen thuộc

In many countries, yachts are rare, but in Monaco they are extremely popular and familiar.

These yachts were also spotted in Cannes (France), not far from Monaco. Locals believe that, in fact, there are yachts that, instead of docking in Monaco, can dock in Cannes to reduce costs. This means that the marinas in Cannes and Monaco are considered two connected mooring points.

Cannes is also filled with yachts of various sizes.

Returning to Monaco, visitors can also explore a few more places such as the residence of the Princes - the heads of state of Monaco; Saint-Martin Avenue; Princess Antoinette Park... However, wherever you are, you will see almost absolute silence. On the streets, except for the sound of cars, there is no noisy laughter. Visitors will also automatically "walk lightly, speak softly, smile charmingly" when standing in front of this silence.
