Small in size but mighty in stature, these are the Monaco facts you never knew you needed in your life&#8230; until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-teeny-tiny-in-size\">1. <strong>Teeny tiny in size<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lace-up your running shoes and you won&#8217;t even break a sweat if you were to run around Monaco. At only 0.78 square miles, Monaco is smaller than New York&#8217;s Central Park.&nbsp; It&#8217;s second only in size to the Vatican City, but it also holds the distinction of being the world&#8217;s most densely populated country. It is estimated that you could walk across the entire width of the country in less than an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-born-with-a-silver-spoon\">2. <strong>Born with a silver spoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t need to go far before you bump into a millionaire. There&#8217;s a reason Monaco is renowned as a billionaires&#8217; playground, with over 12,000 millionaires in less than one square mile. That&#8217;s more than a third of residents who are literally rolling in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/01\/monaco_t20_LOrOdP-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Monaco Marina with yachts - Billionnaires' Playground\" class=\"wp-image-17896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/monaco_t20_LOrOdP-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/monaco_t20_LOrOdP-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/monaco_t20_LOrOdP.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-no-jumbos-allowed\">3. <strong>No jumbos allowed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can forget about jetting into Monaco. The country is too small to have an airport, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t arrive in style. Hop in a helicopter and take the seven-minute journey from the Cote d&#8217;Azure to Monaco Heliport. You&#8217;ll fit right into the billionaires&#8217; playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-grimaldi-family-curse\">4. <strong>The Grimaldi family curse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling Grimaldis, who have ruled Monaco since 1297, are said to carry a curse preventing them from ever finding true happiness in marriage. They&#8217;ve certainly had their fair share of tragedy and misfortune, so perhaps the legend is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/france-travel-guide-timeless-destination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"France, a timeless destination that never goes out of style (opens in a new tab)\">France, a timeless destination that never goes out of style<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-fun-with-flags\"><strong>&nbsp;5.

The only difference being that the Indonesian flag is slightly wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-shaken-not-stirred\"><strong>&nbsp;6.

They are referred to as the Mon\u00e9gasque. If you are a resident of Monaco, but were not born there, you would be referred to as Monacoian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-olympian-royalty\">8. <strong>Olympian royalty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The prince and princess of Monaco are both Olympians in their own right.

However, the principality was never a part of France. Interestingly, the Mon\u00e9gasque dialect is a variety of Ligurian (spoken in Northern Italy). Without its own army, however, it also falls to France to defend Monaco from its enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/01\/nature-3357692_1920-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gardens in Monaco\" class=\"wp-image-17899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nature-3357692_1920-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nature-3357692_1920-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nature-3357692_1920.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-no-taxes\">10. <strong>No taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Death and taxes \u2013 of the two certainties that the rest of the world cannot avoid, the latter is easily dodged by wealthy Monaco nationals.
