Monte Carlo is a favorite port of call for many cruise visitors to the Mediterranean. Monte Carlo sits on a large rock named Mont Des Mules overlooking the sea and it is rather tiny (only three kilometers long - less than two miles). Monaco is separated from France by a road, and you hardly realize it when you are moving between the two countries. Out of 30,000 the citizens, only about 25 per cent of the total populace call themselves Monegasques.
Monte Carlo completed a new cruise ship pier in the harbor at Monte Carlo. It makes easier to visit this exciting Mediterranean port for the thousands of cruise lovers whose ships include Monaco as a port of call.
There are actually several different areas in Monaco. Monaco-Ville surrounds the palace on the southwest side of the Monaco harbor. And in the west of Monaco-Ville there is the new suburb, harbor, and marina of Fontvieille. La Condamine is on the other side of the rock and around the harbor. On the east the resort of Larvotto is with its imported sandy beaches, and Monte Carlo is in the middle of it all.
