2 Best Sights in Monaco

Prepare to be wowed by the Prince of Monaco's car collection, which is now in a huge, state-of-the-art facility at the port. The assemblage of 100 or so vintage cars features everything from a 1903 De Dion-Bouton to a Lamborghini Countach. Most were owned by Prince Albert's father, Rainier; exceptions include the Lexus from Albert's wedding to Charlene Wittstock in 2011 and Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari SF90, which the F1 driver—the only Monégasque to race for the Prancing Horse—donated in 2021.

Monaco's national museum actually occupies two buildings at opposite ends of town. One of the surviving structures from the Belle Époque, Villa Sauber, with its welcoming rose garden, is in the Larvotto Beach area (take the elevator down from Place des Moulins). Next door to the Jardin Exotique is Villa Paloma, with its fabulous stained-glass windows. The museums are open to the public only during exhibitions, so check the website for more information.
