What to do and see in Monaco, Monaco: The Best Museums
The Principality of Monaco, a small city-state overlooking the pristine blue waters of the Mediterranean, is a place famed for its glamour and wealth. The Palais Princier, former home of Princess Grace and current home of her son, Prince Albert II, is at the top of the cliff-bound medieval Monaco-Ville. More well known is Monte Carlo, a neighborhood soaked in sun, money, and expensive champagne, and home to the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the European Poker Tour, and the Monte Carlo Rally.

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.

We visited on a Sunday and it wasn’t very busy, which was nice. The collection is varied and well curated with some fantastic vehicles, it’s certainly well worth a visit. While we were there the exhibits ranged from early horse drawn carriages through to exotica and rally cars as well as exhibits about motoring in Monaco and car design. Entrance price was fair. I admit to being a car fan, with classic cars of my own, but my husband isn’t particularly interested and can get bored at some museums, but he wasn’t bored here. You should visit. When you go, look out for the pedestals holding the information cards, they are all different and made from car components.

This place is amazingly beautiful. The museum is placed on a shoreside and has panoramic views. Don't miss their terrace and the fort type structure right next to the museum. There is a place to walk along the sea-line, which no one should miss.

Coolest and most unique art gallery in Monaco. It is a concept art gallery in which they showcase various interesting artists, as well as making stunningly beautiful jewelry and leather works. You should definitely go by the gallery if you are in Monaco! It’s very inspirational. I purchased several jewelry pieces and have been extremely satisfied with the quality and timeless design!
