The Principality of Monaco is located on the Mediterranean Sea, tucked into the Maritimes Alps, only a few minutes from Nice International Airport and the French and Italian Rivieras.
For seven centuries the Grimaldi family has presided over the Principality of Monaco, one of the longest ruling families in Europe. This rare dynastic longevity is proof of national unity between the Princes and the Monegasque people.
I went to Monaco by train coming from Nice... about 15/20mins distance and clearly Monaco deserves a better train station!!
Then I started my visit up on The Rock, where I found the Prince's Palace, the Cathedral and the Oceanographic Institute, and stroll around its beautiful narrow streets.
After that, I went to Monte-Carlo where the Casino is located and also the Japanese Gardens. Also crossed the streets where the F1 Grand Prix takes place...
At the end of the day I went to Fontvieille (opposite of Monte-Carlo) where I visited the Museum of the Prince's Old Cars and walk around the beautiful marina.
