... and have a look at all those big and beautiful yachts of the rich and beautiful people... ;-) It's not hard to find since Monaco is very small. If I remember correctly, there are even two ports: one you can see when you look down from the palace (the one on the picture left), the other from Monte Carlo, f.ex. from the Casino (the Formula 1 race track just passes the port there).
Built in 1985, The Louis II Stadium is one of the finest multipurpose sports stadiums in Europe. It has a seating capacity of 18,500 and is host to numerous world class sporting events. Tours are available daily. Admission.
Built in 1875, this white stone cathedral is the resting place of Monaco's past royalty. It is the final resting place of Princess Grace and Prince Ranier III. This was also the site of Prince Ranier III and Princess Grace's 1956 fairy tale wedding.
If you ever visit Monaco, don't miss the changing of the guard. The ceremony takes place every day at 5 to noon in front of the Palace. It's performed by the Carabiniers in full uniform, which is black in winter and white in summer.
Go ahead and plunk down however many euros it costs to take a guided tour of this place. The Royal Palace. It's pink and it's cool even if you don't see any actual royals. But you may just luck out and meet a fellow traveler in line, and then have a few beers with them after the tour, and still get the occasional email from them from Australia and here it is an entire 3.5 years later already. Maybe that sort of thing happens...:)
This is the number one attraction in Monaco. Musée Océanographique de Monaco is an enormous building. Built right on the edge of a cliff next to the ocean... The top floor is not very interesting, mostly whale skeletons... The highlight is the basement with its aquariums and water tanks. There are over 90 aquariums in the basement and the largest holds over 48 000 litres of water!Only the basement is worth the 11 Euro entrance...Here you can see sharks, sea horses, lobsters and coral reefs. You are allowed to take pictures and use a video camera, but you are not allowed to use the flash!It's amazing to have a three stories high wall of glass between you and a huge shark!The water in the aquariums comes directly from the Mediterranean. The water is filtrated and cleaned before it reaches the aquariums.Musée Océanographique is most famous for the scientist, explorer and under water...
Window shopping maybe great fun, too :-))). Don't you think so? Don't you like just walking along a street full of luxury stores/shops/boutiques? Watch people and their shoppings haha? Maybe someday you/I will join them and do real shopping there.Luxary Givenchy parfumeria on my picture.
Doing shopping in luxury boutiques (or rather window shopping if you don't have very many €€€€€€) maybe great fan. Hmm... I would prefer real shopping there but... maybe someday haha.The famous French watchmaker-jeweler shop - Cartier - on my picture.
This enchanting garden is an authentic work of art that unites stone, water and vegetation in the most magnificent harmony.Waterfalls and ponds, bamboo fences, Tea House, stone lanterns, tiles and wooden gates creates a place where it's possible to breath tranquility.
Princess Grace desired to have a Japanese Garden in Monaco and this desire was fulfilled by the architect Yasuo Beppu.The magnificent Japanese Garden was opened to the public in May of 1994, and today visitors can appreciate these quiet and beautiful surroundings.
