4k Monaco Monte Carlo
Schönes Monaco Monte Carlo. Eine Reise durch dieses kleinste Land ist wunderschön.
Monaco ist das zweitkleinste Land der Welt und umfasst nur zwei km². Der Vatikan ist kleiner und auch ein Land und misst 0,44 km².
Es überrascht nicht, dass Monaco keine Flughäfen hat, obwohl es Hubschrauberlandeplätze hat, und es kostet 170 Euro, um vom Flughafen Nizza in dieses Land zu kommen.
Monaco hat eine Gesamtbevölkerung von über 37.800 (2014). Die offizielle Sprache von Monaco ist Französisch. Monaco ist der Name des Landes.
Die Stadt von Monaco hat Nachbarschaften, und Monte Carlo ist einer von diesen. Es ist der Bezirk auf dem Hügel, mit Blick auf den Haupthafen, wo Sie das Casino und viele Luxushotels finden.
Es gab drei James Bond Filme, die das Casino zeigen. Sagen Sie nie wieder, Goldeneye und Casino Royale. Roger Moore, ein früherer James Bond, hat dort ein Haus.
Es kostet 10 Euro, wenn es öffnet um 14 Uhr, und Sie müssen richtig gekleidet sein, aber Sie können kostenlos Casino Café de Paris gehen. Ich bin fasziniert von dem Land Monaco.
In der alten Geschichte war der Felsen von Monaco ein Unterschlupf für primitive Bevölkerungen.
Die Geschichte von Monaco selbst begann im 13. Jahrhundert. Am 10. Juni 1215 legte die genuesische Familie der Gibelins den ersten Stein der Burg, die noch heute der Fürstenpalast ist.
Um neue Einwohner anzuziehen, boten die ursprünglichen Meister des Felsens den Neuankömmlingen günstige Bedingungen an: territoriale Zugeständnisse, Steuerbefreiung.
Seit 700 Jahren ist die Geschichte Monacos mit der Grimaldi-Dynastie verbunden, die 1997 den Jahrestag ihres Beitritts zum Fürstentum Monaco feierte.
Die Amtssprache ist Französisch, obwohl Italienisch und Englisch weit verbreitet sind. Die traditionelle monegassische Sprache le Monegù wird unter den Ältesten gesprochen und in allen örtlichen Schulen unterrichtet.
Die Währung ist Euro. Monegassische Münzen werden verwendet.
Deo Juvante (mit Gottes Hilfe) ist das Motto von Monaco und seinen Fürsten.
Der Katholizismus ist die Staatsreligion. Die Religionsfreiheit ist jedoch durch die Verfassung garantiert und mehrere Religionen sind in Monaco vertreten.
Der Nationalfeiertag wird jedes Jahr am 19. November gefeiert. Die nationale Vorwahl für Monaco ist 377 und die Telekommunikation ist sehr effizient.
Monaco druckt eigene Briefmarken.
Schönes Monaco Monte Carlo
DESCRIPTION:
Schönes Monaco Monte Carlo. A journey through this one of the smallest country is beautiful.
Monaco is the 2nd smallest country in the world and covers just two km². The Vatican is smaller, and also a country, and measures 0.44 km².
Unsurprisingly, Monaco does not have airports though it has heliports, and it costs 170 Euro to get from Nice Airport to this country.
Monaco has a total population upward of 37,800 (2014). The official language of Monaco is French. Monaco is the name of the country.
The city of Monaco has neighborhoods, and Monte-Carlo is one of these. It is the district on the hill, overlooking the main harbour, where you will find the casino and many luxury hotels.
There have been three James Bond films which feature the casino. Never Say Never Again, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale. Roger Moore, a previous James Bond has a house there.
It costs 10 euro to enter when it opens at 2 pm, and you need to be attired correctly, but you can go to Casino Café de Paris for free. I am fascinated by the country of Monaco.
In ancient history, the Rock of Monaco was a shelter for primitive populations.
history of Monaco itself really started in the 13th Century. On 10th June 1215, the Genoan family of the Gibelins laid the first stone of the castle, which is still today the Prince's Palace.
To attract new inhabitants, the initial masters of the Rock offered advantageous conditions to newcomers : territorial concessions, tax exemption.
For 700 years, the history of Monaco has been linked to that of the Grimaldi Dynasty which has celebrated in 1997, the anniversary of its accession to the Principality of Monaco.
The official language is French, although Italian and English are widely spoken.The traditional Monegasque language, le Monegù, is spoken amongst elders and is taught in all local schools.
The currency is Euro. Monegasque coins are used.
Deo Juvante (With God's Help) is the motto of Monaco and its Princes.
Catholicism is the state religion. However, freedom of worship is guaranteed by the Constitution and several religions are represented in Monaco.
The National Holiday is celebrated on 19th November every year. The national telephone code for Monaco is '377' and telecommunications are very efficient.
Monaco prints its own stamps.

SUMMARY
=======
Monaco ( (listen); French pronunciation: [mɔnako]), officially the Principality of Monaco (French: Principauté de Monaco), is a sovereign city-state, country and microstate on the French Riviera in Western Europe. France borders the country on three sides while the other side borders the Mediterranean Sea. Monaco is also located close to Italy, although it has no direct border.
Monaco has an area of 2.020 km2 (0.780 sq mi), making it the second-smallest country in the world after the Vatican. Its population was about 38,400 based on the last census of 2016. With 19,009 inhabitants per km², it is the most densely-populated sovereign state in the world. Monaco has a land border of 5.47 km (3.40 mi), a coastline of 3.83 km (2.38 mi), and a width that varies between 1,700 and 349 m (1,859 and 382 yd). The highest point in the country is a narrow pathway named Chemin des Révoires on the slopes of Mont Agel, in the Les Révoires Ward, which is 161 metres (528 feet) above sea level. Monaco's most populous Quartier is Monte Carlo and the most populous Ward is Larvotto/Bas Moulins. Through land reclamation, Monaco's land mass has expanded by 20 percent; in 2005, it had an area of only 1.974 km2 (0.762 sq mi). Monaco is known as a playground for the rich and famous, due to its tax laws. In 2014, it was noted about 30% of the population was made up of millionaires.Monaco is a principality governed under a form of constitutional monarchy, with Prince Albert II as head of state. Although Prince Albert II is a constitutional monarch, he wields immense political power. The House of Grimaldi have ruled Monaco, with brief interruptions, since 1297. The official language is French, but Monégasque, Italian, and English are widely spoken and understood. The state's sovereignty was officially recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861, with Monaco becoming a full United Nations voting member in 1993. Despite Monaco's independence and separate foreign policy, its defense is the responsibility of France. However, Monaco does maintain two small military units.
Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with the opening of the country's first casino, Monte Carlo, and a railway connection to Paris. Since then, Monaco's mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities have contributed to the principality's status as a tourist destination and recreation centre for the rich. In more recent years, Monaco has become a major banking centre and has sought to diversify its economy into the services sector and small, high-value-added, non-polluting industries. The state has no income tax, low business taxes, and is well known for being a tax haven. It is also the ho ...

Monaco has a land border of 5.47 km (3.40 mi), a coastline of 3.83 km (2.38 mi), and a width that varies between 1,700 and 349 m (1,859 and 382 yd). The highest point in the country is a narrow pathway named Chemin des Révoires on the slopes of Mont Agel, in the Les Révoires Ward, which is 161 metres (528 feet) above sea level. Monaco's most populous Quartier is Monte Carlo and the most populous Ward is Larvotto/Bas Moulins. Through land reclamation, Monaco's land mass has expanded by 20 percent; in 2005, it had an area of only 1.974 km2 (0.762 sq mi). Monaco is known as a playground for the rich and famous, due to its tax laws. In 2014, it was noted about 30% of the population was made up of millionaires, more than in Zürich or Geneva.Monaco is a principality governed under a form of constitutional monarchy, with Prince Albert II as head of state. Although Prince Albert II is a constitutional monarch, he wields immense political power. The House of Grimaldi have ruled Monaco, with brief interruptions, since 1297. The official language is French, but Monégasque, Italian, and English are widely spoken and understood. The state's sovereignty was officially recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861, with Monaco becoming a full United Nations voting member in 1993. Despite Monaco's independence and separate foreign policy, its defense is the responsibility of France. However, Monaco does maintain two small military units.
Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with the opening of the country's first casino, Monte Carlo, and a railway connection to Paris. Since then, Monaco's mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities have contributed to the principality's status as a tourist destination and recreation centre for the rich. In more recent years, Monaco has become a major banking centre and has sought to diversify its economy into the services sector and small, high-value-added, non-polluting industries. The state has no income tax, low business taxes, and is well known for being a tax haven. It is also the host of the annual street circuit motor race Monaco Grand Prix, one of the original Grands Prix of Formula One. The principality has a club football team; AS Monaco, who have become French champions on multiple occasions.
Monaco is not formally a part of the European Union (EU), but it participates in certain EU policies, including customs and border controls. Through its relationship with France, Monaco uses the euro as its sole currency (prior to this it used the Monégasque franc). Monaco joined the Council of Europe in 2004. It is a member of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
