Monaco is one of the few remaining city-states in the world today and the second smallest sovereign state after Vatican in the world. It is also one of the richest and most expensive places in the world. As it doesn’t have that many points of interest we explored it for about an hour during the evening while on our trip through France, cruising the streets and passing in front of the famous casino.

- Monte Carlo, the most famous building in Monaco
Last we visit the famous Monte Carlo Casino before eating dinner downtown and then returning to our AirBnB - The Private Car Collection of the Prince of Monaco
The most famous museum in Monaco is the Private Car Collection of the Prince of Monaco with a large collection of interesting cars through the ages - The National Museum section at Villa Paloma
Villa Paloma is part of Monaco’s National Museum and it has a beautiful temporary exhibition that we enjoy before descending towards the Car Museum near the harbor - Up to the Monaco Museum of Anthropology
Next in our exploration of Monaco is the Museum of Anthropology perched high above the city with some impressive views and an interesting temporary exhibit - Into the Prince’s Palace
The Prince’s Palace is where the princes of Monaco still live but we can visit part of it and walk through the well appointed rooms and imagine the opulence in the private part of the castle - Cathedral of Monaco, the resting place of rulers
Finding parking in Monaco downtown is surprisingly easy and we start exploring with the first major target being the Cathedral of Monaco - Dinner and a drive through Monaco
Today we add one more country to our list, Monaco, but it is a very cursory visit before we turn north towards the Alps
