Monaco

 Step 1 – Identifying Monaco

Monaco is a European microstate on the French Riviera, a few kilometres west of the border with Italy.

Monaco is a rich and densely populated city state, with a Mediterranean feel to it. The architecture is similar to cities in southern France and northern Italy, but more luxurious. You will see a lot of apartment buildings, neoclassical details, and pastel colours. There are essentially no rural areas.

Monaco’s licence plates are short and lack the blue strip.

You will still see a lot of normal French plates around, however. These French vehicles often still have the old yellow back plates, due to how old the Generation 2 coverage is.

Monaco is a hilly country. The very few areas that are not built up show mediterranean vegetation.

Planted palm trees are common.

There is a lot of coverage inside tunnels.

Rows of parked mopeds are a common sight around Monaco’s streets.

 Step 2 – Spotlight

In the harbour, there is an extensive Generation 3 trekker on a boat. The Google employee’s brown hair and sunglasses are visible. You can see Monaco’s skyline and the hills beyond it. There are a lot of expensive yachts around. 

This trekker shows up a lot in the official competitive game modes, so it is worth remembering.
