Saint Nicholas Cathedral of Monaco

Highlight • Religious Site

Monaco's imposing St. Nicholas Cathedral was built in Romanesque-Byzantine style and is an artistic masterpiece both inside and out. The interior of the cathedral has a marble altar, mosaics and marble walls.
The cathedral was built in 1875 on the site of an earlier thirteenth-century church. Since then, several royal weddings have taken place here, including that of Prince Rainier with Hollywood star Grace Kelly. This church is also their final resting place and that of other members of the royal family.

The southern wing of the palace houses a museum in which items from the time of Napoleon can be viewed. Napoleon's sock and handkerchief are the showpieces of the museum. The changing of the guard around 12 noon is a daily phenomenon that can be witnessed by tourists.

View of Port Hercule, Monaco

Highlight • Viewpoint

It became apparent that the Principality needed a harbour, able to accommodate the large number of yachts that visited the Côte d'Azur and to help open up the commerce of the area.

The construction of a port would complete the modernisation of the Principality and would at the same time be an important new source of prosperity. In order to maximize the space available, it was decided to build two quays, which still serve as the main walles of the harbour today. The work started on the 2nd July 1901 en the project was completed in 1926.

Princess Caroline Street

Highlight • Settlement

It would be a shame to miss the pretty little pedestrian town centre of the La Condamine district. At the heart of the district is the Rue Princesse Caroline, a very pleasant pedestrian street that connects the Rocher district to Port Hercule. And where a nice row of shops, bars and restaurants can be found, in a town that is otherwise generally very quiet

March 2, 2023,Monaco zum ersten...
Fantastically beautiful but built up to the last millimeter. Found an underground parking space.... €400,000.🤑😬 But, hey it's Monaco. It was definitely worth it and must be repeated. Very clean here, lots of exotic trees and gardens. With the weather today, just a perfect trip. A little tip: the multi-storey car park at the Oceanic Museum is super central and …

A walk with various highlights from Monaco. Casino, Prince's Palace, marina, lots of concrete blocks and views. Certainly interesting to see once. But that's all I think. Don't be confused by the tour, at the supposed end you go underground to the train station. Komoot apparently couldn't track that.

Family outing with full attendance.👍👍👍😂😂😂Monaco is so crazy, and there's always something new to discover.

Today it was: Hey country number 31, hello Monaco. I wasn't expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised and I really liked it. The land of the rich has its own vibe. And it's a really nice place to walk. If you're on the French Riviera, you should definitely stop by. Happy Easter, everyone!🇲🇨🐰

The zigzag is the Oceanographic Institute... We were at the aquarium, which confused Komoot.

Since the new holiday apartment was not ready until 4 p.m., we drove straight down into the city. Wow, the underground car park we headed for was a bit more challenging, but our rental car managed to get around all corners and just fit into a small parking space.

City trip on the Côte d'Azur - Day 1: Monaco - the second smallest country in the world.

We arrived from Nice by train (€7 per person).
Our city tour began with a visit to two parks and gardens (the African and the Japanese). A little Formula 1 feeling is a must during any visit. By chance, we spotted some …

A walk through Monte Carlo and Monaco, two different districts where, for example, you pay €3.50 for a cappuccino in Monte Carlo, while in Monaco you'll easily pay €7 to €8 for the same cappuccino in the more sophisticated quarters. You see more Bentleys and Rolls-Royces driving around than in Belgium. We found Prince Rainier III's grave, but not Grace …
