Home of the Grimaldi court since 1297

Monaco

Principality of Monaco · April to October

The only destination on this list that is itself a royal court. The Grimaldi family reigns from the Rock above the harbour, and the calendar — the Grand Prix, the Rose Ball, the Yacht Show — is the social year of a certain world, rendered in miniature on two square kilometres.

Why it stays exclusive

·The Hôtel de Paris cellar — 350,000 bottles beneath the Place du Casino
·Grand Prix weekend terraces that are family businesses, not tickets
·The Yacht Club de Monaco, where membership is a committee decision

What is possible here

·Grand Prix qualifying from a private terrace above the swimming pool chicane
·A cellar dinner in the Hôtel de Paris caves, by arrangement only
·The Rose Ball at the Salle des Étoiles — the Grimaldis' own gala
·A morning at the Oceanographic Museum before it opens to the day
