Top 10 Things to do in Monaco

March 10, 2018 Claudia Navarrete

The Principality of Monaco, a small city-state overlooking the pristine blue waters of the Mediterranean, is a place famed for its glamour and wealth. The Palais Princier, former home of Princess Grace and current home of her son, Prince Albert II, is at the top of the cliff-bound medieval Monaco-Ville. More well known is Monte Carlo, a neighborhood soaked in sun, money, and expensive champagne, and home to the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the European Poker Tour, and the Monte Carlo Rally.

The Private Collection of Antique Cars of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III

Reviewed By Lynellchina - Guangzhou, China

Have been looking at cars for years with my husband. He loves them. I don’t this museum was a great compromise. The cars exhibited were so cool and unique even I was impressed. Many were gifts from famous people. One of my favorites was the same model Grace Kelly rode driven by Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief. Very well laid out. No backtracking. Definitely worth a couple of hours.

I always wanted to go to Monte Carlo and it is beyond my expectation. Beautiful place and outstanding panoramic. Stayed there for a night and it was amazing. People are very friendly and the city is super clean. Will go again if I have the chance

Beautiful tropical Gardens surrounding the Observatory Cave, featuring weird rock formations.

Reviewed By Soumaho M - Port-au-Prince, Haiti

This is a beautiful garden and well designed has a various of cactus with their stories . This beautiful place also has a cave which is really beautiful and interesting . A museum of prehistoric anthropology.
The guided tour was really good , he took his time to explain everything about the cave , mix it with jokes .
It was an awesome experience in the exotic garden .
If you are in Monaco just give it a try , it’s worth it

Port de Fontvieille

Reviewed By Arnaud d - Antwerp, Belgium

Get a glass of wine in one of the bars around 07:00 pm, have diner after 09:00 pm and you'll enjoy the local atmosphere to the max. My son was delighted to watch super cars turning around to find a parking space. Even the poor conductor of a black Bugatti veyron was driving around amongst Rolls Royces, Aston's, Ferrari's, old timers .... And mind you, you will not find the biggest yachts, but enough to make teenagers dream and parents look at more modest but affordable bath tubs. ;-)

Monaco Grand Prix

Reviewed By Thomas K - Monte-Carlo, Monaco

Formula 1 in Monaco is a unique event. People from all over the world come here for 4 days of fun food and sport. Thursday is Practice , Friday is Entertainment , Saturday is Qualifying and Sunday is the race through the narrow streets of a small city with cars driving 330 km/h. You need to reserve everything way ahead, your tickets €1200.00 up to €12.000 your Hotel 5 days €10.000 up to €50.000 Your Dinner 5 times € 1.000 up to € 80.000 (for two) .So if you dont want to be mistreated because you lack this type of cash watch the race on TV. I live here, i know it all , it's just a little exaggerated but that's why a lot of the locals stay away and rent their balcony for up to € 500.000 for 3 days. If you come with your own 60 meter Yacht it is even more expensive. But it's fun and you can have a beer Thursday or Friday night on the race track.

Saint-Martin Gardens

Reviewed By ComfortablyNumb133 - Newbridge, Ireland

We had a bad experience on our Monaco Tours, but we have to thank them for leaving us right beside these beautiful Gardens, as I am not sure we would have seen them otherwise. Truly amazing views over the harbour, and as it is also on the older side of the Ville, they added to the aura of the whole place.
A MUST see!

Louis II Stadium

All the city's international sporting events take place in this stadium.

Reviewed By Chris K - Swansea, United Kingdom

Great location but a poor stadium for such a wealthy principality. Atmosphere okay and home fans friendly enough, experience probably spoilt by the result in all fairness. Would like to visit in the summer months for the full Monaco experience.

Vieux Monaco

Reviewed By roaming_kiwi58 - Christchurch, New Zealand

This is a picturesque town. Some great buildings, like the Oceanographic Museum and the Cathedral. Though the palace was disappointing. Some quaint narrow streets and some good views over the harbour and the lower part of Monaco. Some good souvenir shops. Easy to walk up the hill from harbour in several places. If visiting Monaco spending some time here is a must.

Japanese Gardens

Reviewed By knucklebusted - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Very quaint little Japanese Garden in an area close to the shore. Free to the public and a peaceful place to view some koi, rocks, Bridges and streams. You can see it all in 15 minutes but you should take some time, wander and enjoy it.
