Monaco Celebrates 20 Years of US Embassy: A Milestone in Unlikely Friendship

The American Embassy in Monaco will celebrate its 20th anniversary on February 9, 2026, marking two decades of diplomatic relations between the United States and this tiny sovereign state.

Monaco's unique blend of royal tradition and modern-day prosperity has forged relationships with nations from across the globe. Among these, the United States stands out as a particularly significant partner, with ties dating back to the early 20th century when American expatriates first flocked to Monaco's shores in search of sun-kissed luxury and tax-free havens.
