Monaco is a small state lost on the shores of the Ligurian Sea in southern Europe. Despite its compact size, many travel to Monaco to see local attractions.
Prince Rainier III Vintage Car Museum
More than a hundred rare vintage cars are collected here. This unique private collection is exhibited on over 4,000 square meters. In the museum, all cars are divided into categories: military, carriages, vintage, sports, popular, classic and prestige. Want to see Ford T 1924, Сadillac 1653, Crysler Imperial 1956? Then you are in Monaco on the terraces of Fontvieille!
Oceanographic Museum
The museum was founded by Prince Albert I and contains a collection of various items related to the sea and maritime affairs: ship models, weapons, marine instruments, stuffed animals and skeletons of marine fauna. In the basement, there is an aquarium with about 4,000 species of fish and 200 species of invertebrates. Since 1957, Jacques Yves Cousteau has been the director of this museum.
Japanese garden
A huge garden with an area of about 7,000 square meters was formed in the tradition of landscape parks of the Land of the Rising Sun. Do you want to walk next to small lakes, streams, natural stones, boulders? Find harmony and replenish strength? The Japanese Garden in Monaco will help you.
Old town of Monaco-Ville
The old town of Monaco is 11 historical buildings that hang on top of a cliff above the sea. It will take a long time to see all the sights. The Cathedral, the Princely Palace of the Grimaldi family, the Chapel of the Divine Mercy attract many tourists. Children will especially love the Wax Museum, which is dedicated to the history of the Grimaldi family since the 13th century. On the palace square, the guard of honor march takes place every day.
Casino Monte Carlo
The first association with the word Monaco is casino. And not in vain, because it is here that the first gambling house in Europe is located, one of the oldest establishments on the planet. The Casino also has an Opera House. Although it is a little surprising, I recommend it for visiting. This is a very beautiful hall with good acoustics. There is a beautiful fountain with a green lawn in front of the entrance to the casino.
