With a world-wide reputation, this outstanding museum is devoted to all marine sciences, presenting more than 6,000 specimens. It was Albert I who founded the museum in 1910, and today its collections of marine fauna are priceless and unique. In the well-known “Aquarium” you will find about 90 pools with the rarest species of fish in wonderful shapes and colours. The museum building is an attraction in itself. Located by the Monaco-Ville cliff, it is one of Monaco's most fascinating buildings.

At the junction of Nezavisimosti and Zakharava is this huge square, with a giant victory obelisk emerging from the centre. The monument has an eternal flame at its feet, which has been burning since 1954, and is accessible from an underground passageway.

Covering over 160 hectares, the Inner and Outer Alster Lakes are located right in the city centre, surrounded by cafes, parks, and walking paths, with an abundance of oaks and chestnut trees for nature lovers. Ideal for renting a canoe, pedal boat, rowing boat, or sailboat to stay active. The area is enhanced by sculptures both on land and in the lake. Vast bodies of water are often best enjoyed during the golden hour and aboard a boat. Gather a small group of friends and book a one-hour sailboat ride at sunset.

Find tranquillity in seclusion at this 9-hectare uninhabited island, only a 5-minute ferry journey from Coliemore Harbour in Dalkey. Holy stones are dotted around the island, and the ruins of a 7th-century church remind us that this has long been a place of pilgrimage and spirituality. The island is believed to have been inhabited in the 4th millennium BC, as well as having seen Neolithic, Viking, and Medieval settlements. Today, the island is deserted, with wild goats roaming the land. The island is also a favourite of kayakers in the Dublin region.
