Monaco is best known for its princely family, its palaces, its casinos and its wealthy citizens. However, behind the glitz and glamour of Monaco’s high society, the Rock has many other reasons to seduce visitors. First and foremost, its exceptional setting, a balancing act between the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean. Its exotic gardens showcase the beauty of Mediterranean vegetation, while its oceanographic museum provides an overview of aquatic life around the world, particularly in the waters of the Mediterranean. Built into the side of a rock, the museum houses 6,500 m² of aquariums and collections, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the deep sea.
