When you speak about car spotting, you have to mention Monaco, also known as the "supercar paradise"! During the entire year you are able to see some incredible cars just cruising along in the principality like the all new hypercars, some very rare models or classic cars which aren't forgotten at all. I have to admit that the most Monegasque have a very good taste for cars, but there are too much

Bentley's and Rolls-Royce's... During summer the amount of supercars is increasing at a level you can't imagine, rich tourists drive down to the french riviera with their great cars, so you can already imagine that Monaco becomes "the place to be" to spot some awesome and rare cars!

The best way to see the most cars in the small principality is to go from one hotel to the other and walk along the principal roads. Starting from the harbour, looking around the yachts, there are always some great cars, believe me! Straight after the harbour you have two possibilities that are offered to you, either you stay down at the level of the harbour and go to the Yacht Club Monaco which is just next to the famous F1 tunnel, or you go up the the Hermitage Hotel which is about 100m away from the Casino Square which is your next destination. Let me suppose

that you have gone up to the Casino and you want to continue even further because you haven't seen enough supercars, you'll have to go down forward to the Fairmont Hotel which is in located in the famous hairpin corner of the F1 Grand-Prix. If you follow the F1 Grand-Prix track you will arrive at the famous F1 tunnel but at then other end then if you came from the harbour past the Yacht Club Monaco. Here you are on a strategic place, the Portier traffic-circle. Most of the cars are crossing this place so you'll be sure to see some exclusive ones! Walking forward and

you'll arrive one the Avenue Princesse Grace where most of the dealerships are. You will also be walking past the Grimaldi Forum where every year around April the famous "TopMarques Salon" is held, a special car show with lots of aftermarket brands and tuners like Mansory, Nimrod, DMC, etc. You are now walking straight to one of the last places, where I was, where you can see some supercars, the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel. Further away you still have Monte-Carlo Beach but I never went there so I can't tell you about my experiences there...

Now it is time for some pictures that I took during one of my first days in Monaco:

That's it for my very first day in Monaco. Not so many cars but still an Aston-Martin One-77 and a Ferrari F40 which made my day!
