Monaco

Monaco is situated between France and the Mediterranean Sea and is only one hour drive from Nice in France. It is regarded as a tax haven with many multi-millionaires residing at Monte Carlo, considered as its capital.

Monaco is a Constitutional Monarchy and its head of state is Prince Albert II. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Majority of the popluation are French speaking. It has an amazing harbour with spectacular view, with many foreign tourists visiting the country during the mild summer months especially between the months of June and September.

The following are two of our favourite tourist attractions in Monaco:-

Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium

Oceanographic Museum

Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium is located within a stone's throw of the Prince's Palace in the city of Monte Carlo. The museum contains lots of sea fauna and its aquarium is one of the finest we have seen in Europe. Many of the exhibits were donated by its founder Prince Albert I. It was offically opened to the public in 1910.

The museum is opened to the public daily. Entrance fees for adults and children are 12.50 and 6.00 euros respectively. Please visit our Monaco travelogue below for more lovely photographs of the Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium in Monte Carlo.
