The most lavish example of Belle Époque architecture in Europe, Monte Carlo Casino has become the stuff of legends – thanks, in part, to its appearance in popular films like James Bond and Oceans Twelve. You don’t need to be a big-roller to enjoy it – the building opens to tourists every morning, so you can walk around some of its opulent rooms. Although if you’re feeling lucky, stick around until after 2pm, when the gambling begins.
