Monte-Carlo Travel Guide

 6 Reviews  There's isn't an overwhelming amount of things to do in Monaco, after all it's barely bigger than my backyard. So every tourist in Monaco I think comes to see the Changing of the Guard, a 10-15 minute ceremony featuring a lot of stomping and clanking of guns that one wonders if they even work since...

 5 Reviews  This museum was founded in 1910 by Albert I, the great grandfather of the present prince. In the main rotunda is a statue of Albert in his favourite costume - that of a sea captain. Displayed are specimens he collected during 30 years of expeditions aboard his oceanographic ships. The aquarium that... 

 1 Review  After our half-day tour of Nice and Eze, we used our free time in Monte Carlo to climb the inclined walk-way up to the "Prince's Palace." From the Place du Palais, we walked the narrow streets til coming upon the Monaco Cathedral, the resting place of many of Monaco's royal princes. Here in the... 

 3 Reviews  The Monaco Cathedral is not only quite beautiful but is notable as the final resting place of many of the Grimaldi Princes but also that of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, the former Grace Kelly. The dazzling white facade features grand Roman-Byzantine architectural details which I found very... 

 4 Reviews   The structure known today as the Prince's Palace and residence of the Prince of Monaco, started its life of service as a Genoese fortress circa 1191 to 1215. Due to the small size of the country and perhaps lack of buildable land, this is Monaco's sole palace. The Grimaldi Princes have been in... 

 3 Reviews  One thing in Monte Carlo that will not cost you a King's ransom is to visit the gardens which are adjacent to the aquarium. The local very pleasant climate is obviously conducive to growth and the gardens are immaculately kept. If you have lost all your money in the Casino, this might be the place... 

 2 Reviews  Ok, so you're walking around and you see boats. Well, maybe not boats, but yachts. Big yachts! Then you must be near the Monte Carlo Marina. Take a look at the fabulous vessels bobbing in the water and dream.. maybe a good bet at the casino will help you to buy one for yourself. 

 2 Reviews  Fontvieille is the newest of the four traditional quarters (districts) in the principality of Monaco, and one of ten Wards for modern administrative purposes. It is a newly constructed area reclaimed from the Mediterranean Sea during the 1970s, and has a population of 3,300 in an area of 0.33... 

 2 Reviews  We were in Monte Carlo in November, and there was a "Winter Carnival" going on along the waterfront at the Marina. If we understood right, it is an annual event that is held. We had a great time playing the games and while at a carnival, it is almost a must to try the food your not supposed to eat... 

 1 Review  One can see that space is tight in Monaco when visiting this church, a road bridge just above it, during the F1 Grand Prix tyres and equipment just in front off it. This votive chapel dedicated to the Patron Saint of the Principality and to the Prince and his family was built in the XI century in...
