Lose yourself in the multitude of winding alleys adjoining each other along narrow alleys communicating with each other through vaulted passages. Head towards the cathedral, an architectural marvel. The Place du Palais will then welcome you and offer you a spectacular view of the Prince's Palace and the Mediterranean. 11:55 am rings the hour of the changing of the guard: the announcement made by two drums, a carillon and two trumpets will put you in the mood! For those who are passionate about the history of the Princes and Princesses of the Grimaldi family: the visit of their apartments is for you. Lunch break in one of the charming local restaurants. On the way to the Oceanographic Museum, its aquariums and exhibitions that will immerse you in a magical universe. Count 2h30 of visit. Once this is done, get on the local bus (line 1 or 2): direction the famous district of Monte-Carlo with its gambling casino. A gourmet break is required at the Café de Paris, an enchanting place that will take you back to another era: if the sun is shining, enjoy the beautiful terrace from which you can admire the cars of famous brands doing their show! Dinner at the port of Hercules by the water or at the more intimate port of Fontvieille. Evening at the Casino, the theatre, pub or disco depending on your mood and desires.
