Here are 5 things to do in Monaco
Tour the Prince's Palace of Monaco
Monaco is known for being a principality and you can see this first hand at the Prince's Palace of Monaco .
The palace sits high above Monaco and dates from the 13th century when it would have been a Genoese fortress. You can visit the palace when the Prince is not in residence, and an easy way to tell is to look for the flag in the main tower. If it is raised then it means that the Prince is at home. Some of the highlights of a visit include the gallery modeled in the Italianate style, as well as the Blue Room which is known for its blue and gold decorations. There is also an ornate Throne Room and a Palatine Chapel.
Visit the Monte Carlo Casino
The Casino de Monte Carlo is one of the most famous casinos in the world, particularly as it was built in the flamboyant Beaux Arts style in 1893. The marble atrium is similarly lavish in style and you will find 28 onyx columns that welcome you to the Gaming Rooms. Fans of James Bond are certain to enjoy the scenery, as this is said to have been the setting for the James Bond novel Casino Royale. There are different gaming rooms here that are decorated in a variety of themes, but make sure you look up and take in the chandeliers and the stunning artwork as you try your luck.
Walk around Jardin Exotique
Located in Fontvieille just outside of the city center is the Jardin Exotique.This garden sits high on a towering bluff that looks out over the ocean and you will find lush surroundings coupled with stunning vistas. The garden first opened its doors in 1933 and you will find a surprising mix of plants including African and Latin American species that grow here due to the warm weather. There are 7,000 species of plants on show and you can also explore an Observatory Cave that is covered in stalactites and stalagmites.
Sunbathe at Larvotto beach
Close to the iconic Avenue Princesse Grace is Larvotto Beach which is also the only public beach in the principality. The beach is surrounded by nets so that swimmers can bathe without the fear of jellyfish or if you prefer to stay out of the water then you can sunbathe on the strip of golden sand.Water sports are popular here including jet skiing and sea kayaking.
Tour Monaco Harbor
Located at the base of Monaco’s famous blustery cliffs is the main harbor of Monaco. Yachts bob on the water and the harbor, which is also known as Port de la Condamine, dates from 1901. The Prince’s main yacht is located here as well as those of many moneyed Monaco residents, so this is a top spot to check out these amazing vessels, even if you don’t get to go aboard. There are also a range of eateries and cafes here which mean that you can have a snack while enjoying the vistas over the water.
