    Great museum, some interesting exhibits and only €10 - you can also buy bundle tickets with other attractions in Monaco. Only probably takes about half an hour or so to visit

    We visited this museum on the last day of our trip, as it was raining and there wasn’t much else to do. Unfortunately, everyone had the same idea as us, and the place was packed, which meant waiting to see some of the exhibits, and avoiding feral children running around.
    However, the aquarium itself was large, with a variety of animals including an octopus and a turtle which you don’t always see. I don’t know about the ethical aspect of keeping such animals in tanks, as other reviewers have mentioned, so I will have to do some more research.

    The actual museum part was beautifully done, with classic decor in keeping with the old building, with the actual exhibits and art integrated seamlessly. The exhibits were engaging, with plenty of information and different styles, e.g. a big boat you could go in, holograms, an immersive arctic experience, etc. This part of the museum was also quieter than the aquarium.

    Main thing we didn’t like about the museum was the cafe, which was on the roof, and required us walking along the slippy rooftop in the rain to get to. Cafe was dated and they didn’t serve a huge variety of food so we just ordered coffee, which arrived lukewarm.

    Other than that, it was a good day out.

    Busy but beautiful and vibrant square in front of the casino. It has a nice atmosphere. There is a nice garden behind it too which is nice to sit in the sun. There are usually some spectacular cars in front of the casino

    Some of the best views of the harbour are from either Monte Carlo side or Place du Palais square. During April while we were there, they were building a lot of the Grand Prix stands so it took quite a long time to get across the harbour

    Arrived to Monaco/Monte Carlo by train ,and made my way towards the Casino. At the top of the stairs, there is security checking people before they go in and their hand-held bags/purses; citizens of Monaco are not allowed to enter! The inside main hall is lovely. I didn't realize the Casino wasn't open until 2pm, and I was there just after 1pm, so I had a quick peek into where the casino play area was, but didn't see too much. I didn't want to wait until it opened. The grounds in front of the Casino are beautiful. It is known as Place du Casino Plaza, with beautiful landscaping of trees, bushes, gardens, and fountains.

    Absolutely stunning architectural landmark, classical Monaco at its best. Makes a great sightseeing spot on a tour around the old city.

    Compact but Beautifully landscaped and well maintained. There are several seating areas to stop and admire. Unfortunately there is a lot of building work happening right next door at the moment which messes with the ambience but we’ll worth a visit.

    Clean and nice beach with crystal clear water and a jellyfish net and pebble. Surrounding and new beach walk is not so faboulos as expected but still great. Toilet and shower available. No natural shadow but you can hire sunbed and umbrella.

    I came to this mall in-seqrch of lunch, being directed here by an employee at the Casino. I entered, going down a staircase, to enter the mall. This mall, of course is beautiful, and I wandered on one level, looking for a place to eat. I loved the marble floors, decorated wrought-iron railing staircases, and seeing the large, crystal chandelier. I did find some small eateries in one area, but not alot of choice, and I didn't see what I wanted on their menus, and they were too pricey for me (of course, being in an elegant mall). I just basically wanted a sandwich, and on asking an employee, she directed me to go to the basement level, as their was a small convenience store down there, and that did the trick, as I found what I wanted. It was tucked-away, as I assume it couldn't be on the other levels, with it not be luxurious enough.??
    This mall has boutiquey sized stores, some known to me, and names, unknown. I'm glad I did see this elegant mall, although I didn't go into any stores.

    Caught 'Monet in Full Light' this summer in the French Rivera - an incredible way to while away an afternoon and a must if you're in Monaco! Featuring never-before-seen-works retracing Monet's various stints across the Côte d'Azur, this was an exquisite exhibition. Feel incredibly privileged to have seen this before returning to London. [I saw an ad for this at Nice Airport otherwise I would have missed this]

    After arriving in Monaco by train, I walked eastward towards the Casino Monte Carlo, and after a hot, inclined walk, I was glad to come across these Casino Gardens, to allow me to rest, and sit in some shaded areas. Being a plant lover, I enjoyed walking along the terraces, seeing the different varieties of bushes, tropical plant flowers, trees, and especially the cactus, as that is my top plant, having many at home. I stopped here and there to rest, as it was a hot day for me, and I enjoyed looking down over the walled areas, at various locations, at the beautiful, sparkling Med. Sea! It was also beautiful viewing the Yacht Club area, with all the sailboats, and a smaller cruise ship was in view that day. The views of the buildings in areas behind this area, were spectacular, as many rose above the city. I spent awhile meandering through this area, before trying to find the Casino.
