Monaco has a reputation for being one of the most expensive places on earth. And yes — if you're booking a suite at the Hôtel de Paris, you'll spend a fortune. But here's what most people don't know: you can experience the magic of Monaco — the harbour, the palace, the F1 circuit, the glamour — for under £400. This is exactly how.
