— EXPLORING — Mont Carlo Pair your culinary experience with the sights and sounds of glimmering Monte Carlo. Below are the top must-see attractions of this exquisite city. MONTE CARLO CASINO. Established in the mid-19th century by Prince Charles III, this elegant casino was built in an attempt to fund the small principality of Monte Carlo. The casino’s facade is neoclassical with an array of angels along the rooftop, and the interior is no less ornate. For those of you that prefer not to gamble with your money, you can visit the world-famous casino from 9am to 1pm when games are not operating. MONTE CARLO OPERA HOUSE. The equally elaborate opera house is connected to the casino and adjacent to the noted Hôtel de Paris on Place du Casino. Renovated in 1988, the interiors are strikingly modern. Place du Casino is an immaculate street lined with carefully tended flowerbeds, impeccably manicured lawns, impressive sculptures and magnificent fountains. PALACE OF THE PRINCE. This palace of Monaco was the target of many attacks over the centuries, and much ešort went into its fortification. The Grimaldi family had to act with diplomatic agility in order to maintain the tiny kingdom. In the 17th century, a royal title was conferred upon Prince Honoré II, and he began transforming his castle into a palace. One of the main attractions at the palace is the Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place daily at precisely 11:55am. OCEANOGRAPHIC MUSEUM. This impressive museum of marine sciences is one of the greatest achievements of Monaco’s visionary leader, Prince Albert I. The institute welcomes scientists from all over the world. The main floor features a complete range of oceanic fauna and giant skeletons of marine mammals. Famous marine biologist Jacques Cousteau served as the museum director for many years.
