1)  "The Prince Of Monacos Private Collection Of Cars-If you are a fan of cars, then you must visit this amazing museum. One can only imagine the extent of the prince’s personal collection of rare and exotic automobiles, and you will not be disappointed. There are over 100 rare and vintage motorcars on display, all of which are in immaculent condition. A 1929 Bugatti, 1903 De Dion Bouton and 1952 Rolls Royce are just a few of the beauties on hand."
2) "Wax Museum of the Princes of Monaco-This strange but interesting museum is on the rue Basse, one of the most picturesque streets in the old part of town. Historical events from the Grimaldi dynasty and the people who were involved in them are presented in life-size wax wearing authentic period costumes.  "
3)"Exotic Garden-Also known as the ‘Magic Garden’, this massive collection of thousands of succulent plants was started in 1933. Dramatically perched among the rocks of the cliff, these types of plants thrive in Monaco’s microclimate. With hundreds of different styles of subtropical plants, the mosaic of colour and shape against the backdrop of the blue sea is breathtaking. Visitors can walk along footbridges high above the cliff and admire both the gardens and the city."
4)"Japanese Garden-This truly enchanting garden is a work of art, which unites stone, water and vegetation in a perfect balance, as only the Japanese can manage. Designed by the legendary landscape architect Yasuo Beppu, the large gardens blend the natural world with the urban structures of man, which border around it. Everything about this garden oozes a quiet Japanese Zen feeling."
5) "Fontvielle Park-A pleasant little oasis filled with shrubs and plants from all over the world that covers nearly four hectares. At the centre of the park is a small fresh water pond with ducks and swans. Accompanying the park is the Princess Grace Rose Garden, which is always a quiet and wonderfully fragrant spot. More than 4,000 rose bushes are made up of 150 varieties. "
6) Old Town Monaco: "The ancient heart of this country has been lovingly preserved in the narrow streets of the Old Town. Connected by a maze of vaulted passageways, these streets are lined with medieval houses which are centuries old. Many fantastic attractions lie within the Old Town including the Place Bosio and Place Saint Nicolas, the Chapelle de la Paix and the façade of the Law Courts. The Saint Martin Gardens, which face the sea, are the perfect place to stop and rest during your wanderings. This little park has fountains, pine trees, a pergola and bronze statues to complete the ambiance."
7)"Princes Palace- No trip to Monaco would be complete without a visit to the Royal Palace. Located in a dramatic setting overlooking the principality and the sea, the palace began life as a fortress built by the Genoese in 1215. This stunning structure has many outstanding features which can be toured including the Italian-style gallery along the south façade and the throne room, which has been hosting important ceremonies since the 16th century. You can also admire the beautiful salons, the Palatine Chapel and the Saint Marie Tower. It’s the main courtyard, paved with three million coloured pebbles forming massive geometrical patterns, that draws the most attention. Monaco’s famous summer concerts are held outdoors in this impressive area. Every day at 11:55 sharp, visitors can enjoy the spectacle of the Changing of the Guard, performed by the Carabiniers in full uniform at the palace’s main entrance. The palace is open daily from 09:30 to 18:00, June to September, and from 10:00 to 17:00 in October. It’s closed to the public from November to May."
Monaco seems like such a cool exotic place and the fact that there are beaches and its got a summery vibe to it makes it seem like an amazing place.
