Monaco, the second smallest country in the world, packs more than its fair share of sites. However, guests wanting to see some of the region's finest sites will have no trouble navigating its 0.75 square miles.
Although small, Monaco's history as a nation is an interesting one, and worth exploring. One of the best places to do so is Nouveau Musee National de Monaco. Featuring a wide range of exhibits, travelers can also learn about the nation's future outlook.
Home to the glitz and glamour of famous royalty and stars, the country has a surprising number of natural assets, for those willing to explore. The country features a number of excellent gardens, often found in the most unusual of locations. The exotic gardens found in and around Observation Cave are planted along the country's steep mountain slopes, where the sun has kept the garden's variety of succulent species blooming vividly in the Rivera's sunshine. For those who want to escape the heat, the cave's subterranean delights cool the skin and ignite the spirit.
Named after the country's most famous royal, the Princess Grace Rose Garden presents visitors with the chance for an aromatic stroll through more than 4,000 flowers.
