Have been looking at cars for years with my husband. He loves them. I don’t this museum was a great compromise. The cars exhibited were so cool and unique even I was impressed. Many were gifts from famous people. One of my favorites was the same model Grace Kelly rode driven by Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief. Very well laid out. No backtracking. Definitely worth a couple of hours.

Formula 1 in Monaco is a unique event. People from all over the world come here for 4 days of fun food and sport. Thursday is Practice , Friday is Entertainment , Saturday is Qualifying and Sunday is the race through the narrow streets of a small city with cars driving 330 km/h. You need to reserve everything way ahead, your tickets €1200.00 up to €12.000 your Hotel 5 days €10.000 up to €50.000 Your Dinner 5 times € 1.000 up to € 80.000 (for two) .So if you dont want to be mistreated because you lack this type of cash watch the race on TV. I live here, i know it all , it's just a little exaggerated but that's why a lot of the locals stay away and rent their balcony for up to € 500.000 for 3 days. If you come with your own 60 meter Yacht it is even more expensive. But it's fun and you can have a beer Thursday or Friday night on the race track.

Very quaint little Japanese Garden in an area close to the shore. Free to the public and a peaceful place to view some koi, rocks, Bridges and streams. You can see it all in 15 minutes but you should take some time, wander and enjoy it.

This well maintained garden with several water features sporting nice Fountains and sculpture adjoins the high end retail mall and the exterior bubbles development near the casino. If you need a break there are restrooms in the mall and a nice coffee place on the bubbles Promenade. We enjoyed the sculpture and water features.

Walked around here one night before heading to dinner at Cafe de Paris. Did not go in the casino, but the whole area was wonderful for an evening stroll. It felt very safe, the architecture was lovely, and the people watching was excellent!
7. Le Metropole Shopping Center

This is a designer shopping mall for sure: as soon as you walk in, you're confronted with gold hues and tons of fancy decor, and surrounded on all sides by expensive shops or little restaurants. There was of course also a friendly Santa in the mall for Christmastime. None of the stuff in here is really worth the price, to be honest, but it's gorgeous to see, and I liked how they had manga available in French in the techy store - that was actually quite nice!

In addition that the museum is a world class, the actual architecture against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea is heart melting! Also be sure to spend time in the Saint-Martin Gardens next by, as well as watch a show at the summer cinema on the other side a few stairs bellow the museum! The gift shop offers lovely gift items!

Saint Paul's Church Monte Carlo is different from most old European churches and cathedrals. It is very clean and doesn't seem to suffer from any deferred maintenance. It may even have an endowment.

Arriving for an opera is a dream come true, considering the numerous visits to the pint-size principality. The setting alone is worth a visit. It's spectacularly ornate with drapes of red velvet, lots of gold leaf and frescoes of prancing puttim everywhere
