Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium is located within a stone's throw of the Prince's Palace in the city of Monte Carlo. The museum contains lots of sea fauna and its aquarium is one of the finest we have seen in Europe. Many of the exhibits were donated by its founder Prince Albert I. It was offically opened to the public in 1910.
The museum is opened to the public daily. Entrance fees for adults and children are 12.50 and 6.00 euros respectively. Please visit our Monaco travelogue for more beautiful pictures of the Oceanographic Museum in Monte Carlo.

Change of Guard at Prince's Palace in Monte Carlo is a tourist attraction. It attracts hundreds of foreign tourists every day. Changing of guard is carried out at the palace at 11.55 a.m. sharp. It lasts for approximately 20 minutes. However chances of seeing Prince Albert II at the palace are very slim. Nevertheless visitors have the opportunity to take home with them some lovely photographs as souvenirs! Leave a Comment Directions: Located on the same hill as the famous Oceanographic Museum.

In formal dress, the guard presents 100 year-old tradition at 11:55 AM daily. Get close to the rails near the guard "huts" early as the crowds can get quite large.
After enjoy a quiet lunch in one of the many restaurents on the many narrow "streets" of Vieille Ville. Leave a Comment Address: Vieille VilleDirections: The center court outside the Palace.

The glamorous Monte Carlo Marina is located at Port Hercules at Condamine District in the harbour of Monte Carlo which is the continuing part of the French Riviera. Monte Carlo is a small city which is just three kilometers long and is sandwiched between Mont Des Mules (also known as the Rock) and the Mediterranean Sea. Land is limited and scarce and buildings will have to build upwards. The whole length of the sea is occupied by marinas and harbour.
Monte Carlo is a popular tourist destination in Europe. Luxury yachts of different sizes owned by the rich and famous and billionaires can be seen anchoring at the marina which can accommodate approximately 500 boats. It is a popular port of call for cruiseships from around the world. Yacht show is held at Port Hercules in Monte Carlo in September every year to attract luxury yachts from around the world! Another popular event held during summer at Monte Carlo Harbour is Formula One Grand Prix.

The museum is a tribute to loving care of historic motor vehicles. It is located at the second level of the Fontvielle "market palace."
The collection is not extremely large, but the quality and variety is worth the 6 Euros entry fee.
For those that don't like cars, just continue walking a couple minutes toward the next staircase to find the "zoo" that climbs the cliffs next to the castle area of "Monaco Ville." Leave a Comment Address: Avenue Prince AlbertDirections: Port de Fontvieille area on the second story of the "climb" to the palace.

 Am I great or what... by Agraichen
The Monaco zoo unfortunately is the older type, though the do try to make the cages a bit more "home style" than just a concrete box.
Still on the side of "the rock" that houses the castle Monaco has a small zoo with a variety of animals including a white tiger.
Open from 10:00 to 5:00 most days all year long with a 12:00-2:00 lunch break this is great break on the walk up to the castle for only 4 Euros.

 Coastal path by micas_pt
We took a long stroll along this path and it provided nice views over the sea, the beaches and the yachts. To a certain point, the path becomes a tunnel (underneath the Convention Centre) and this short bit of the path runs by the road that it’s turned into the circuit for the F1 Grand Prix. :-)
This coastal path is not overcrowded and if weather allows (not my case!!) it provides good chances for nice photos. Leave a Comment Address: Avenue Princesse Grace, MC 98000, Monaco

 View over Monaco by micas_pt
The Terrace is situated on the “back” of the Casino, just above the sea. From the Terrace you might also observe some details of the Opera House.
At the Terrace there is a lift that leads visitors to the “lower” street (through the Convention Centre) at the end of which is the Port de Monaco (marina). Leave a Comment
