The gardens

The Princess Grace Rose Garden and the Exotic Garden may be among the best known, but the Principality has many parks and gardens to discover, including Princess Antoinette Park, the Japanese Garden, the St. Martin Gardens, the Little Africa Gardens, the Boulingrins Gardens, and the UNESCO Gardens on the Fontvieille Terraces... They are managed according to eco-friendly principles and are all distinctive in their own way, with very different atmospheres!

High on the cliffs overlooking Monaco, the Exotic Garden is a showcase for the exuberance, strangeness and surrealism of nature. (Currently closed - due to re-open in 2025)

The Casino Gardens

The gardens of the Société des Bains de Mer are very closely linked to the development of a particular part of the Principality of Monaco: Monte-Carlo. The area took off in around 1893 when the Casino was established on Spélugues rock, which was previously parched and bare.
