Over the past decade, Monaco has become the go-to destination for fun-filled weekend escapes, and this is no accident. After all, the principality measures only about two square kilometres, so visitors can visit all neighbourhoods in a day or two.
And you can even do it all on foot, since all the attractions are packed into a compact area! To add to this, Monaco has incredible weather. Whether you are visiting at the start of the year or popping in some time during the year, the weather is always pleasant.
Besides, travelling to Monaco is quite easy, what with the convenient private helicopters flying in and out of the principality. Of course, organisations like Magnetic Engineering play a role in this by providing these operators with reliable engine services that guarantee passenger safety.
So, what activities really give you value for your time and money?
The top 3 things to do in Monaco
Truth be told, Monaco is awash with incredible activities, from dining by the sea to spending a day on a yacht. But the following activities take the cake if you are after an authentic Monaco tour:
1. Visiting the Prince’s Palace State Apartments. You get to walk through the palatial residence, including the throne room, as you take a trip down memory lane in all its glamour. And if you arrive early, you can watch the Changing of the Guard.
2. Exploring the Oceanographic Museum. When we say that this museum is world-class, we mean it. With thousands of fish species, a wide range of artefacts, and a huge shark lagoon, you will get to see what the Mediterranean marine life has to offer. The views are also spectacular
3. Touring the Monte Carlo Casino and Casino Square. Your trip would not be complete if you failed to walk through the marbled atrium and place a bet in this iconic casino. Be sure to dress in smart casual attire to get in the door.
Visitors also love walking the Formula 1 Grand Prix Circuit and strolling through Port Hercule. The options are endless, and whatever you choose, you are sure to have a memorable time.
