Most Americans hadn\u2019t heard of the city-state until Hollywood icon Grace Kelly shed one glamorous life for another when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956. Suddenly, the principality was on the map, albeit figuratively. Since that time, the Grimaldis\u2014who have reigned as Monaco\u2019s monarchs since the 14th century\u2014have only cemented their hold on the city-state. Prince Albert II, and his sisters, Caroline and Stephanie, have all stepped into the limelight in one way or another to keep Monaco in the news. New hotels have sprung up out of seemingly nowhere and museums and galleries, many devoted to the late Princess Grace, have opened in former mansions of wealthy residents..<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Monaco      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Monaco  <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While only encompassing less than one square mile, most of which weaves through tight, cliffside lanes, making it an ideal location for Formula One\u2019s biggest race,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/travel\/monaco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monaco<\/a>&nbsp;and its capital&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/travel\/nice\/montecarlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monte-Carlo<\/a>&nbsp;boast a number of unique sights and great restaurants. Here are our top things to see and do in Monaco this spring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While having strong ties to France thanks to proximity and a shared language, Monaco walks to the beat of its own drum. Monegasque cuisine is based on Monaco\u2019s Ligurian roots as well as its ties to France and Italy and geographical closeness to North Africa. Traditional dishes include&nbsp;<em>barbajuan<\/em>, a savory pastry filled with ricotta, Swiss chard and other herbs and spices;&nbsp;<em>fougasse<\/em>, an citrus-flavored sweet bread (not sweetbread) eaten at breakfast or as a snack, and&nbsp;<em>socca<\/em>, a chickpea pancake that\u2019s a popular post-clubbing, late-night snack. Local seafood is cherished as well and most restaurants boast fish in some form or another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one would expect, Monaco boasts myriad Michelin-starred eateries, from the fabled Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse \u00e0 l\u2019H\u00f4tel de Paris to the innovative Pavyllon, un restaurant de Yannick All\u00e9no, Monte-Carlo. And most are pricey to boot. Still, if you want to splurge, Le Blue Bay is your best bet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" data-id=\"37502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shutterstock_1798642057.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shutterstock_1798642057.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shutterstock_1798642057-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption><em>Fougasse<\/em>&nbsp;is a sweet bread that is a staple of Monegasque cuisine.

The Casino de Monte Carlo, housed in a Belle Epoque mansion, is arguably the chicest spot in town. Try your hand at blackjack or baccarat or spin the roulette wheel in the Salle Europe.

Since 1950, Formula One drivers have been traversing the winding roads around Monaco, from the Sainte D\u00e9vote curve to the Casino de Monte Carlo to the Hotel de Paris to the Mirabeau curve until the finish line near Anthony Noghes. The route is thrilling when going at normal speeds but at top speeds, it can prove fatal for inexperienced drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" data-id=\"37544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Editorial_shutterstock_1408756172.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Editorial_shutterstock_1408756172.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Editorial_shutterstock_1408756172-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>The Monaco Grand Prix follows a circuit around the hills and curves of Monaco.
