This is a wonderful place to visit and the entrance fee is great value for money, lots of lovely colourful displays of marine life and loads to see, the aquarium is in the basement with the upper floors being the museum, there is the usual shop as you exit and a cafe for a drink or bite to eat. Highly recommended.

Beautiful tropical gardens surrounding the Observatory Cave, featuring weird rock formations.
Reviewed By Picky1Traveler - Las Vegas, United States
The Jardin Exotique was difficult for us to find. The street signs send you in circles. It would have been nice if there was a tourist bus that took you up there. We came back another day by car with the address and it is right on top of the city. We paid 7.20€ and it was worth the entrance fee. The Jardin is filled with beautiful different cacti. I’ve never seen so many different types. The path wanders round and is beautifully done. There is also a small pond with Koi fish. There are also benches so you can sit and admire. You can also get stunning views of the harbour and the royal residence. Once you have done the Jardin you can also go to the Cave which is included with your ticket. There is also a washroom (no cost), just off from the entrance to the cave. In total it is about 300 steps down. There are handrails to hold on to. The tours are hourly on the hour. A guide takes you down the steps and once at the bottom they talk about the cave and the stalactites and stalagmites. It is only in French but we had a multilingual group and people were wonderful with the translation. The tour takes about 20 minutes but our group took about 40 minutes which included the climb up. We had all ages in our group. There is no rush to get to the top. You can stop and rest on your way up if you have to but it is a steady climb up. It is also quite wet at the bottom so it may be slippery. The temperature in there is constant between 18 and 25 degrees C I believe they told us....so not too cold. Would definitely recommend this visit!

My favourite view on the French Riviera. There is a little hike involved so make sure you have appropriate shoes but it’s not too hard. There is also gardens and the walk leading to the Palace is so beautiful!

A wonderful experience to overlook the magnificent harbour. It is well worth the effort to gain height to secure those memorable vantage points and capture them on your camera.

Reviewed By Sharle941003 - Cape Town Central, South Africa
Dramatically situated beneath the Princes Palace on the cliff that is Monaco Ville, Fontvielle is a charming oasis after the noisy chaotic building site which is modern Monaco. There are around a dozen fairly unpretentious and reasonably priced (particularly at lunchtime) local restaurants and bars. The Harbor is sparkling with a sprinkling of super and not so super yachts.
