Monaco is known world over for its sky-piercing buildings, fancy yachts, luxury hotels, and Formula 1 Race Track. The Principality, however, is not only made up of glass façade buildings and shiny yachts, but also boasts of a charming Old Town complete with a Royal Palace.

Monaco maybe a modern country but it hasn’t forgotten its roots. A walk through the narrow lanes of the Old Town will take you to the country’s most prominent heritage structures. The imposing Place Saint Nicolas and Placette Bosio, the Chapel of Mercy, Palais de Justice and the Cathedral, remain most popular and should not be missed. Museums are aplenty too in Monaco – from the Collection Of Cars by the Prince of Monaco to the Museum of Stamps and Coins, and Naval Museum, there is enough evidence of the country’s love for and wealth of a remarkable history, walking through the old quarters and spending time at the museums is a great way to learn about the history and culture of the Principality.

Art is celebrated in Monaco and sculpture occupies a privileged place here. The open-air sculptures are a specialty of Monaco and are found throughout the town. A pedestrian walk in the Fontvieille district is a great way to discover the unique collection and take in the cultural beauty of the place.
