If you think entertainment in Monaco just means rocking the casbah in Monte Carlo, you’re in for a surprise. The 700-year history of this small but fiercely proud country is everywhere around – and nowhere more so than in the ancient citadel of Monaco-Ville, home to one of Europe’s great royal families.
The Oceanographic Museum
Step into any of its museums and discover why the principality's heritage is one of the wonders of the world. If sailing’s your passion, don’t forget the Oceanographic Institute and the Naval Museum. Or travel a little further afield to take in some of the best contemporary art or a reconstructed Greek villa.
And with the money you’ve saved on many of these exceptionally good-value days out, you can still have a flutter at the casino when you get home.
