The legendary king of the opera Monte Carlo

Already 1893 became a historical year in the life of the Monte Carlo Opera.

But there are big problems with tea. Even in an expensive restaurant you will be offered a bag of Lipton … horror. I hate tampon tea!

Monaco is conveniently accessible by train. At the station, we deal with a vending machine that sells tickets for a long time. Continue reading
