Monaco

The yearly motor racing calendar is full of events of different types all over the world, but there are none like the ones were about to tell you about. There are motor bike racing but none like the Isle of Man TT; Formula 1 races is a yearlong event but none like the Monaco Grand Prix and The Indy 500 (Indianapolis 500). These take you from the azure Mediterranean to across the Atlantic to the dusty Indiana.

As the second smallest independent state on earth, the opulent principality of Monaco doesn’t require much exploring to discover the array of sports that take place in and around its winding streets and sparkling waterfront.  At only 1.95 square kilometres, it is barely bigger than London’s Hyde Park and trails only Vatican City, as the smallest nation in the world.  This is good for those who paradoxically, enjoy both sport and don’t want to hassle of having to travel for miles for it.
