As well as offering magnificent panoramic views of the coast, it boasts well-preserved architecture that reminded us of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-do-nice-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nice<\/a>. As you wander through its charming little streets, you&#8217;ll discover the Principality&#8217;s main landmarks: the Cathedral, the Oceanographic Museum and the Prince&#8217;s Palace.<\/p>\n\n<p>We also recommend a visit to the Chapelle de la Mis\u00e9ricorde, with its splendid 17th-century Baroque decor. If you&#8217;re ready to take a stroll below the Rocher, you can discover Fort Antoine. This military fortress is used as an open-air theater and provides a view of Solarium Beach (an artificial concrete beach).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Th&#xE9;atre-Fort-Antoine\/i-sQc5MjD\/0\/f7479e1f\/L\/Monaco-theatrefortantoine-scene-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Fort Antoine theater.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow 2 to 3 hours to discover the whole of the Rocher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;ll need to be in good physical condition: the climb up to the Rocher is steep, and there are a number of staircases for walking below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A large number of bars and restaurants are available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To avoid the crowds, don&#8217;t hesitate to take the streets that run parallel to the main thoroughfares from Palace Square.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

However, one part of the building can be visited: the Grands Appartements. It features a splendid main courtyard, numerous 16th-century frescoes, and even the Throne Room! The exterior is equally impressive, with its medieval dwelling built in the 13th century, and the elegance of the rest of the facade (16th-17th century).<\/p>\n\n<p>Life at the Palace is punctuated every day by the changing of the guard. At 11:55 a.m., the Prince&#8217;s Carabinieri, a military corps created in 1817, take turns ensuring the safety of the Palace and the princely family. Lined up in a row, they cross the Place du Palais, handling their weapons to the sound of drums.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Palais-Princier\/i-STT2cfr\/0\/c812a834\/L\/Monaco-PalaisPrincier-relevegarde-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the changing of the guard.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow 1h to 1h30 for the visit (depending on possible closures due to restoration work).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the changing of the guard, plan to arrive about 20 minutes before 11:55 a.m. to have a good view of the ceremony.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re not interested in the changing of the guard, avoid going to the Rocher in the late morning, as the Place du Palais is crowded with tourists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices: \u20ac10 (adults) \/ \u20ac5 (children).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: open only in season, from April to mid-October, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from July to August, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (see official website for updates <a href=\"https:\/\/visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Read <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-prince-palace-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our article on the Palais Princier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px;\">WHERE TO STAY IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Monaco<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:14px;flex-basis:60%\">\n<p class=\"option_titre2\"><strong>Option 1: In Monte Carlo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Discover luxury palaces in Monaco&#8217;s most sought-after district:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ul_box wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Hotel de Paris<\/strong> &#8211;

The latter still operates a number of sites in Monaco, including the Casino de Monte-Carlo. In 2010, a second exhibition space was added to the museum: the Villa Paloma. This early 20th-century villa in the Principality&#8217;s heights offered us superb panoramic views. The collection includes 10,000 works of contemporary art, but these can only be seen in temporary exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Mus&#xE9;es\/n-jxBCv6\/Mus&#xE9;e-National-Villa-Paloma\/i-Ft4Fbv9\/0\/0f5afbca\/L\/Monaco-villapaloma-salleexpo-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of an exhibition room at Villa Paloma.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow 30min to 1h for each villa.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices: \u20ac6 (adults), free for under-26s and jobseekers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: open only during the exhibition period.

The first public garden to open in the Principality, in 1816, it featured exclusively Mediterranean plants. It was later enriched with exotic species, including numerous cacti. We found this cliffside space superb, with its beautiful sculptures and magnificent ocean views. Don&#8217;t miss the promontory and its bronze sculpture by Fran\u00e7ois Cogne.

It&#8217;s located on the south side of the Rock, in our favorite part of Monaco, the family-friendly Fontvieille district. Here you&#8217;ll find 250 species of animals, from around 50 different species. You&#8217;ll see plenty of domestic animals, as the residents come exclusively from customs seizures, donations or abandonment. Due to the limited size of the garden, certain species are not collected here (felines, etc.). We recommend this visit for families.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Jardins\/n-hTp3dg\/Jardin-Animalier\/i-bkV5zbh\/0\/4e199637\/L\/Monaco-jardinanimalier-cascade-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the pink flamingos at the Jardin Animalier.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow 1 hour for the visit.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices: \u20ac6 (adults) \/ \u20ac3 (children) \/ Free for children under 6.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening times: the wildlife garden is open every day, but opening times vary according to the season.

Organized around a harbor, it resembles a French seaside resort. From the heights, known as the terraces of Fontvieille, you&#8217;ll have a beautiful view of the port and the Mediterranean. Our favorite view, however, is from the harbor, at night, of the monuments on the Rock, which are illuminated as soon as the sun goes down. We walked to the end of the dike, at the lighthouse, and were struck by the calm. You can also take a stroll through the Princess Grace Rose Garden, created by Prince Rainier III as a tribute to his wife Grace Kelly.

Unfortunately, we weren&#8217;t able to visit it, as it&#8217;s closed for renovation for the whole of 2023. It is due to reopen in 2024. It&#8217;s well worth a visit, as it&#8217;s located on the heights of Monaco, from which the panoramic views of the coast and the Rock are particularly beautiful. Opened to the public in 1933, this 15,000m2 garden is home to thousands of cacti. A botanical center and specialized nursery were added in the 1960s. At the base of the Jardin Exotique cliff is the Grotte de l&#8217;Observatoire, an underground prehistoric cavern 100m above sea level. The remains found there are on display at the nearby Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
