Luxurious sceneries in Monaco


When you visit
Monaco you will experience a breathtaking beauty in the heart of the French Riviera. The sovereign city-state is the second smallest country in the world and the home for the rich and famous.
 



The view from the hill to the harbor Port Hercules and Monte Carlo.



The oldest part of Monaco is the Rock of Monaco or Monaco-Ville. Here are located some of the top attractions like the royal palace, the Oceanographic museum and the cathedral.


The palace was built in 1215 and is such an impressive and interesting place to visit. The palace is still used as a royal residence but great part of it is open for public, the rooms are not that big but beautiful and well-maintained.



The palace in its spectacular hilltop location tempts visitors to rest a while.
 



The hooded monk statue in front of the palace is the memorial of the first Grimaldi, who entered the fortress disguised as a monk.
 


Right next to the palace is the
Saint Nicolas Cathedral, built in 19 century.




This is a beautiful small cathedral located close to the royal palace. This is the place where princess Grace was buried. The interior is also very impressive and elegant.



It is really nice to walk down to the coast line from here to the
Museum of the Ocean, which are connected by a peaceful park on a cliff that overlooks the sea.

The garden has beautiful plants and flowers and offers beautiful views of the bay. From here we experience breathtaking beauty in the heart of incomparable natural landscapes.
 



The path takes you on a pleasant route along the cliff, offering various places to take a break and relax.




The enjoyable stroll through the
Saint Martin Garden offers many photo opportunities.
 



Port de Fontvieille
, a small port for big yachts.
 



One of the most spectacular
Formula 1 races takes place in the streets of Monte Carlo, another administrative area in Monaco. The race runs by some of the most remarkable buildings like the Casino, hotel Paris and the harbor. It is very difficult to drive here because most of the streets are narrow with sharp turns.



One of the most famous turns is the hairpin and uphill is the Casino of Monte Carlo.
 


The Casino Square in Monaco is one of the most popular squares in the world, surrounded by luxury hotels and fancy cars, nice restaurants and boutique shops. This is a beautiful place to sit and chill over a coffee or a glass of soft drink, to see and to be seen.

This is definitely the best and unique place to be, a great spot with flashy luxury cars.





Close to the casino is the Jardin du Casino, a green spot full of beautiful plants.




Delightful and spectacular gardens behind the casino, a rich display of exotic species.





Part of the Casino is the Opera de Monte Carlo, impressive with its stunning architecture.
 



 Stunning views overlooking the harbor.



The luxury of this small town full of richness is unbelievable and cannot be described in words. This is an inspirational and good experience not only for the body but also for the soul.
